Hi,
In IAP225, I would like to block legacy clients connecting to the SSID's. The arubas document suggests to use 'legacy-mode' command to control the legacy clients. As per the document, all non 802.11n devices are considered as 'legacy devices'. The document description is as given below.
legacy-mode - Enables the IAPs to run the radio in non-802.11n mode.
According to the above description, when disabled, any 802.11 a/b/g devices should NOT be able to connect to the network however it does not seem working. Please have a look at the below logs:

Question: Is 802.11b device only considered as legacy device[a/g are not]? It could be a case that information documents is not correct. Need clarification on this.
or
controlling the legacy devices functionality not working in IAP225?
Please let me know.

Shiva
