set the minimum data rate on a Ruckus Unleashed setup

Today I was working on a Ruckus Unleashed setup and wanted to set the minimum data rate of connected clients.
The reason why is because I don't want associations on the slower data rates to prevent slowing down the network as a whole and secondly to encourage these clients to roam to a nearer AP

First confirm your current settings (marked in yellow):
ruckus# show wlan all
WLAN Service:
  ID:
    1:
      NAME = CustomerSSID
<cut>
      Tx. Rate of Management Frame(2.4GHz) = 2.0Mbps
      Tx. Rate of Management Frame(5GHz)   = 6.0Mbps

      BSS Minrate = Disabled
<cut>
 To set the minimum data rate issue the follwing commands:
ruckus# config
You have all rights in this mode.
ruckus(config)# wlan CustomerSSID  
The WLAN service 'CustomerSSID' has been loaded. To save the WLAN service, type 'end' or 'exit'.
ruckus(config-wlan)# bss-minrate
  <NUMBER>             Enter the minimum transmission rate of the WLAN in the BSS.
ruckus(config-wlan)# bss-minrate 12
The mgmt-tx-rate will be set to the same value as bss-minrate.
The command was executed successfully. To save the changes, type 'end' or 'exit'.
ruckus(config-wlan)# end
The WLAN service 'CustomerSSID' has been updated and saved.
Your changes have been saved.
ruckus(config)#
If you show your wlan SSID again you will see:
ruckus# show wlan all
WLAN Service:
  ID:
    1:
      NAME = CustomerSSID
<cut>
      Tx. Rate of Management Frame(2.4GHz) = 12.0Mbps
      Tx. Rate of Management Frame(5GHz)   = 12.0Mbps
      BSS Minrate = 12.0 Mbps

<cut>
Note: This is configurable on a per SSID basis
