PropertyDescription
arp (disabled | enabled | local-proxy-arp  | proxy-arp | reply-only)Address Resolution Protocol mode:
  • disabled - the interface will not use ARP
  • enabled - the interface will use ARP (default)
  • local-proxy-arp - the router performs proxy ARP on the interface and sends replies to the same interface
  • proxy-arp - the router performs proxy ARP on the interface and sends replies to other interfaces
  • reply-only - the interface will only reply to requests originated from matching IP address/MAC address combinations which are entered as static entries in the ARP table. No dynamic entries will be automatically stored in the ARP table. Therefore for communications to be successful, a valid static entry must already exist.
arp-timeout (time interval | 'auto')Determines how long a dynamically added ARP table entry is considered valid since the last packet was received from the respective IP address.
Value auto equals to the value ofarp-timeout in/ip settings, which defaults to 30s.
disable-running-check (no | yes)
  • yes - interface's running property will be true whenever the interface is not disabled

  • no (default) - interface's running property will only be true when it has established a link to another device

disabled (no | yes) (X)

Hardware interfaces are disabled by default. Virtual interfaces are not.

mac-address (MAC)

MAC address (BSSID) to use for an interface.

Hardware interfaces default to the MAC address of the associated radio interface.

Default MAC addresses for virtual interfaces are generated by

  1. Taking the MAC address of the associated master interface

  2. Setting the second-least-significant bit of the first octet to 1, resulting in a locally administered MAC address

  3. If needed, incrementing the last octet of the address to ensure it doesn't overlap with the address of another interface on the device

mtu (integer [32..2290]; Default: 1500)

Layer3 Maximum transmission unit.

l2mtu (integer [32..2290]; Default: 16002290)

Layer2 Maximum transmission unit. 

master-interface (interface)

Multiple interface configurations can be run simultaneously on every wireless radio.

Only one of them determines the radio's state (whether it is enabled, what frequency it's using, etc). This  'master' interface, is bound  to a radio with the corresponding radio-mac.

To create additional ('virtual') interface configurations on a radio, they need to be bound to the corresponding master interface.

No default value.

name (string)

A name for the interface. Defaults to wifiN, where N is the lowest integer that has not yet been used for naming an interface.
