RF - select one or more of the following options:
Suppress SSID Select to prevent this SSID from appearing in the beacon message sent by the AP. The wireless device user seeking network access will not see this SSID as an available choice, and will need to specify it.
Enable 11h support Select to enable 11h support. By default this option is disabled. It is recommended that you enable this option.
Apply power reduction to 11h clients Select to enable the AP to use reduced power (as does the 11h client). By default this option is disabled. It is recommended that you enable this option.

This option is available only if you enable 11h support.

Process client IE requests Select to enable the AP to accept IE requests sent by clients via Probe Request frames and responds by including the requested IE‘s in the corresponding Probe Response frames. By default this option is disabled. It is recommended that you enable this option.
Energy Save Mode Select to reduce the number of beacons the AP transmits on a BSSID when no client is associated with the BSSID. This reduces both the power consumption of the AP and the interference created by the AP when no client is associated.
Radio Management (11k) support Select to enable background scan. Optionally, enable Beacon Report and/or Quiet IE.
Egress Filtering Mode

Client Behavior
Block MU to MU traffic Select the Block Mu to MU traffic checkbox if you want to prevent two devices associated with this SSID and registered as users of the controller, to be able to talk to each other. The blocking is enforced at the L2 (device) classification level.

Inter-WLAN Service Roaming
Permit Inter-WLAN Service Roaming Select to enable a client on a controller to maintain the session, including the IP address and role assignment, while roaming between VNSs having the same SSID and privacy settings. If not selected, when the client roams among VNSs, the existing session terminates and a new session starts with the client having to associated and authenticate again.

The list of VNSs that share the same SSID and privacy settings displays below.
