Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Non-HT STAs support only 802.11a/b/g and provide a data transmission rate far smaller than the rate of 802.11n/ac STAs. If the non-HT STAs access the wireless network, the data transmission rate of 802.11n/ac STAs will be reduced. To prevent the transmission rate of 802.11n/ac STAs from being affected, you can run the legacy-station [ only-dot11b ] disable command to deny access of all or only 802.11b-compliant non-HT STAs.

Configuration Impact

After the legacy-station disable command is run, non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11a/b/g cannot access the wireless network.

After the legacy-station only-dot11b disable command is run, non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11b cannot access the wireless network.

After access of non-HT STAs is denied, services may be interrupted.

Precautions

After the legacy-station disable command is run, the access of non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11a/b/g fails to be denied if any of the following functions is configured on the non-HT STAs:

WMM function in a 2G or 5G radio profile disabled using the wmm disable command
Pre-shared key authentication and TKIP encryption for WPA/WPA2 configured using the security { wpa | wpa2 | wpa-wpa2 } psk { pass-phrase | hex } key-value tkip command when the security profile is used
802.1X authentication and TKIP encryption for WPA/WPA2 configured using the security { wpa | wpa2 | wpa-wpa2 } dot1x tkip command when the security profile is used
WEP shared key authentication mode configured using the security wep [ share-key ] command when the security profile is used
802.11b/g radio type in the 2G radio profile configured using the radio-type { dot11b | dot11g } command
802.11a radio type in the 5G radio profile configured using radio-type dot11a command

After the legacy-station only-dot11b disable command is run, the access of non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11b is denied. If 802.11b radio type in the 2G radio profile has been configured using the radio-type dot11b command, the access of non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11b fails to be denied.

Example

# Deny access of non-HT STAs.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ssid-profile name ssid1
[HUAWEI-wlan-ssid-prof-ssid1] legacy-station disable
Warning:  If the wmm disable command, TKIP, WEP, or radio type of 802.11a/b/g is configured, the function of denying access of legac
y STAs cannot take effect.
