Basic is a rate that the SSID will announce it supports and that clients must also support to form an association with the SSID. Optional is a rate the SSID will support and clients can use if possible, and N/A means that rate is not supported by the SSID. You can read more about this feature here, under the Radio and Rates section: docs.aerohive.com/330000/docs/help/english/8.2r2/hm/full/Content/config/ssid/ssidSet.htm?
