General
When you click Policies > Policy Hierarchy > Select an AP policy, the General tab appears on the right screen by default:
At the top of the screen is the Name of the policy and the SSID Group it applies to. The Default Policy, at the top of the hierarchy, is the policy that is always in effect, no matter which other policies are applied for a particular SSID. It is an automatic attribute of the Tenant/Group through the access points used in the hierarchy, and it applies to the entire hierarchy.
You can enable or disable SSID Isolation Under NAT Mode. This feature allows clients to be isolated even when they connect to the same SSID. It also isolates the clients between SSIDs.
The last field is for the Time Zone.
QUICK VIEW OF SSID GROUP - Gives a list of the SSID's in the group, with a table of configurations applied to them.
The columns listed in the Quick View of SSID Group table, are explained below:
- SSID Name
- Band Selection - You can change the band for the SSID.

- Capture ATP - Capture Advanced Threat Protection is a cloud-based feature that analyzes files and determines if the file is malicious or acceptable.
- CAV - Cloud AV is a security policy that provides real-time file-virus scanning and reporting without consuming local computing resources. A record of the analysis is kept for a selected period of time.
