====== Virtual AP ====== Even on one single physical wireless chip, it is possible to broadcast multiple wireless SSID's. In that case we are talking about //'__V__irtual __A__ccess-__P__oints'// or //'VAP's'//. A VAP is basically a logical //'wifi-interface'// which points to an existing //'wifi-device'// (physical interface). Therefore it can be treated as any other interface as well. It can apply own encryption-settings, filter- and firewall-rules, can be put into a bridge and so on. These instructions shows how to add a new virtual wireless interface to the routers configuration. ===== Overview ===== ==== Level of difficulty === Easy ==== Use-case ==== If someone wants to add a new howto, this might safe some work. ^ proberties of scenario ^^ | some propertie | some value | | some other propertie | some other value | | ... | ... | ==== Related topics ==== * [[documentation:configuration:uci|UCI]] * [[documentation:configuration:config_files:config_files_involved|/etc/config/config_file]] ===== Instructions ===== ==== GUI ==== Not available, yet ==== UCI Config System ==== * **Add something** <code> ... </code> * **Store changes** <code> uci commit xxx </code> * **Apply changes** <code> /etc/init.d/xxx restart </code> ==== UCI config files (native) ==== Feature is defined in [[documentation:configuration:config_files:config_file_involved|/etc/config/config_file]] * **New something** <code> config 'something' option 'name' 'whatever' </code> ===== Troubleshooting ===== Not available, yet
