Additional options are available to allow discovery and configuration over a specific medium. If this policy setting is enabled, additional choices are available to turn off the operations over a specific medium. If this policy setting is disabled, operations are disabled over all media. If this policy setting is not configured, operations are enabled over all media. The default for this policy setting allows operations over all media.
