Name list is associated with this ESS profile. If you select this option, go to
Step 13.

15. In the Allow Multicast Flag list, optionally enable multicasting (on). Only enable
multicasting if you need to use a multicast application. Enabling multicasting
causes all multicast packets on the air side to appear on the wired side, and all
multicast packets on the wired side to appear on the air side. Also see
Multicasting Feature in this chapter.
— On: Enables multicasting. Enable multicasting only if you need to use a
multicast application. Enabling multicasting causes all multicast packets on
the air side to appear on the wired side, and all multicast packets on the wired
side to appear on the air side.
