Configure a Wi-Fi node
When a Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, an SSID must be configured for a Wi-Fi
interface to operate.
To forward packets to and from a Wi-Fi interface, the Wi-Fi interface must be bridged to a configured
Ethernet interface. The Wi-Fi interface and Ethernet interface must be in the same Bridge instance.
If a DHCP server is required to run on the Wi-Fi interface, the DHCP server instance corresponding
bridged Ethernet interface should be configured.
In some cases, it may be necessary to bridge multiple Ethernet instances to a single Wi-Fi instance. If
this is required, only one Ethernet instance should be configured.

Enables or disables the Wi-Fi interface.
Description
A descriptive name for the Wi-Fi interface to make it easier to identify.
SSID
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, this is the SSID that is advertised
to the Wi-Fi clients.
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a Client, this is the SSID of the Access Point to
which you wish to connect.
Mode
The Wi-Fi interface can run in various modes. The options are:
n Access Point
n Client
Rogue Detection (Scan for unauthorised Access Points)
This Wi-Fi interface is a member of Bridge instance n and therefore bridged to the following
interfaces. The options are:
n Access Point. When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, to forward
packets to and from the Wi-Fi interface, it must be bridged with an Ethernet interface
using a Bridge instance.
n Client
Interface
Interfaces that are currently members of the selected Bridge instance. Note that multiple Wi-Fi
interfaces can be members of the same Bridge instance.
