| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| bound (boolean) (B) | Always true for master interfaces (configurations linked to radio hardware). True for a virtual interface (configurations linked to a master interface) when both the interface itself and its master interface are not disabled. |
| default-name (string) | The default name for an interface. |
| inactive (boolean) (I) | False for interfaces in AP mode when they've selected a channel for operation (i.e. configuration has been successfully applied). False for interfaces in station mode when they've connected to an AP (i.e. configuration has been successfully applied, an with AP with matching settings has been found). True otherwise. |
| master (boolean) (M) | True for interface configurations, which are bound to radio hardware. False for virtual interfaces. |
| radio-mac (MAC) | The MAC address of the associated radio. |
| running (boolean) (R) | True, when an interface has established a link to another device. If disable-running-check is set to 'yes', true whenever the interface is not disabled. |
Configuration profiles
Configuration settings for wifiwave2 interfaces can be grouped in profiles according to the parameter sections listed above.
These profiles - aaa, channel, configuration and security, can then be assigned to interfaces. Configuration profiles can include other profiles as well as separate parameters from other categories.
This means that each parameter may have different values assigned to it in different sections of the configuration.
The following priority determines, which value is used:
- Value in interface settings
- Value in profile assigned to interface
- Value in configuration profile assigned to interface
- Value in profile assigned to configuration profile (which in turn is assigned to interface).
If you are at any point unsure of which parameter value will be used for an interface, consult the actual-configuration menu.
This optional flexibility is meant to allow each user to arrange their configuration in a way that makes the most sense for them.

# Creating a security profile, which will be common for both interfaces
/interface wifiwave2 security
add name=common-auth authentication-types=wpa2-psk,wpa3-psk passphrase="diceware makes good passwords" wps=disable
# Creating a common configuration profile and linking the security profile to it
/interface wifiwave2 configuration

# Creating separate channel configurations for each band
/interface wifiwave2 channel

add name=ch-5ghz frequency=5180,5260,5500 width=20/40/80mhz
# Assigning to each interface the common profile as well as band-specific channel profile
/interface wifiwave2
