Comment: Added description for dtim-period and beacon-interval parameters, improved formatting for country parameter.

...

This section includes properties relating to the operation of the interface and the associated radio.

PropertyDescription

beacon-interval (time interval 100ms..1s)

Interval between beacon frames of an AP. Default: 100ms.

Info

The 802.11 standard defines beacon interval in terms of time units (1 TU = 1.024 ms). The actual interval between beacons will be 1 TU for every 1 ms configured.

Note

Every AP running on the same radio (i.e. a master AP and all its 'virtual'/'slave' APs) must use the same beacon interval.

chains (list of integer 0..7 )

Radio chains to use for receiving signals. Defaults to all chains available to the corresponding radio hardware.

country (name of a country)

Determines, which regulatory domain restrictions are applied to an interface. Defaults to "United States".

Note:
Note

It is important to set this value correctly to comply with local regulations and ensure interoperability with other devices.

dtim-period (integer 1..255)

Period at which to transmit multicast traffic, when there are client devices in power save mode connected to the AP. Expressed as a multiple of the beacon interval.

Higher values enable client devices to save more energy, but increase network latency.

Default: 1

hide-ssid (no | yes)

  • yes - AP does not include its SSID in beacon frames, and does not reply to probe requests that have broadcast SSID.

  • no - AP includes its SSID in the beacon frames, and replies to probe requests that have broadcast SSID.

Default: no

mode (ap | station)

Interface operation mode

  • ap (default) - interface operates as an access point
  • station - interface acts as a client device, scanning for access points advertising the configured SSID
rrm (no | yes)
  • yes - enable support for 802.11k radio resource measurement
  • no - disable  support for 802.11k radio resource measurement

Default: yes

ssid (string)The name of the wireless network, aka the (E)SSID. No default value.
tx-chains (list of integer 0..7)Radio chains to use for transmitting signals. Defaults to all chains available to the corresponding radio hardware.
tx-power (integer 0..40)A limit on the transmit power (in dBm) of the interface. Can not be used to set power above limits imposed by the regulatory profile. Unset by default.
manager (capsman | capsman-or-local | local)

capsman - the interface will act as CAP only, this option should not be passed via provisioning rules to the CAP

capsman-or-local - the interface will get configuration via CAPsMAN or use its own, if /interface/wifiwave2/cap is not enabled.

local - interface won't contact CAPsMAN in order to get configuration.
