interoperating with the WLAN used with the mesh network. ACLs should be defined
based on the client bridge and repeater (an access point defined as both a base and
client bridge) association requirements within the mesh network.

Selecting this option could be a good idea, if restricting device "chatter" improves mesh
network performance. If base bridges and client bridges are added at any given time to
extent the coverage are of a mesh network, the data going back and forth amongst just
those radios could be compromised by network interference. Adding mesh device traffic
could jeopardize network throughput. If however, MU to MU communication is central
to the organization (for example, scanners sharing data entry information) then this
checkbox should remain unselected.
