The table on the Basic Wireless Settings page shows the access points that are managed in 
the profiles of the basic profile group and to which the channel allocation and basic RF 
management settings apply.

power, or both for individual access points in the basic profile group.

For you to be able to configure these settings in the table, two requirements exist:

Channel. To enable the Access Point Channel menu in the table, you must disable 
automatic channel allocation on the Channel Allocation page (see 

Transmission power. To enable the Tx Power menu in the table, you must disable 
automatic Tx power control on the basic RF Management page (see 

Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting Select the enable radio button to enable multicast and broadcast rate 

limiting, which can increase bandwidth and minimize interference. To 
configure the maximum packet rate, enter a packet rate in the 
Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting Packet Count field. By default, 
the wireless controller uses the following maximum packets rates:

For the 2.4 Ghz radio, up to 63 packets per second.

For the 5 GHz radio, up to radio 300 packets per second.

Select the disable radio button to disable multicast and broadcast rate 
limiting. Disabled is the default setting.

ARP Suppression

Select the enable radio button to enable Address Resolution Protocol 
(ARP) suppression. ARP suppression decreases the management 
traffic that the wireless controller must handle. ARP suppression is 
enabled by default and applies to the wired interface only.

With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP addresses of all WiFi clients 
that are associated with an access point are known, the wireless 
controller handles ARP requests in the following ways:

A packet with a known IP address is forwarded to its destination.

A packet with an unknown IP address is dropped.

With ARP suppression enabled, if the IP address of at least one WiFi 
client that is associated with an access point is not known, the wireless 
controller broadcasts (that is, floods) the ARP requests into the WiFi 
network.

Select the disable radio button to disable ARP suppression.
