Disable

The following scenario shows how to disable a WLAN interface, stopping the selected WLAN network, and how to disable a radio module, stopping all networks configured on top the selected module.

Disable Interface

Description

In this example, the WLAN interfaces wlan4 will be disabled by mean of the disable command.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set controllers wlan installation indoor
set controllers wlan radios wifi1 band 2.4GHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi1 channel 1
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 band 5GHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 channel 36
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 bandwidth 80MHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11n
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11ac
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 mode 802.11ax
set interfaces bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 phy wifi1
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point ssid network1_2.4GHz
set interfaces wlan wlan5 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan5 phy wifi1
set interfaces wlan wlan5 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan5 type access-point ssid network2_2.4GHz
set interfaces wlan wlan1 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan1 phy wifi0
set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point ssid network1_5GHz
set interfaces wlan wlan2 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan2 phy wifi0
set interfaces wlan wlan2 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan2 type access-point ssid network2_5GHz

Note

By default, when a WLAN interface is created, it will start working after commit.

Step 2: Run the command interfaces wlan wlan4 show status at DUT0 and check that the interface wlan4 status is up:

Show output

Interface: wlan4
        Mode: access-point
        Phy: wifi1
        Status: up
        BSSID: 52:5a:65:42:e3:e1
        SSID: network1_2.4GHz
        Number of connected stations: 0

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces bridge br0 address 192.168.100.1/24

Step 4: Configure the MON device to connect to network1_2.4GHz using the following configuration:

set controllers wlan installation indoor
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 bandwidth 20MHz
set interfaces wlan wlan0 phy wifi0
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 bssid 52:5a:65:42:e3:e1
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 ssid network1_2.4GHz
set system wlan log-level configuration debug
set interfaces wlan wlan0 address 192.168.100.10/24
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 security akm none

Step 5: Ping IP address 192.168.100.1 from MON:

admin@MON$ ping 192.168.100.1 count 2 size 56 timeout 1

Show output

PING 192.168.100.1 (192.168.100.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.100.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=14.9 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.100.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=21.7 ms

--- 192.168.100.1 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 2ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 14.906/18.282/21.659/3.379 ms

Step 6: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces wlan wlan4 disable

Note

When disabled, a WLAN interface will be down so no connection is possible.

Step 7: Run the command interfaces wlan wlan4 show status at DUT0 and check that the interface wlan4 status is down:

Show output

Interface: wlan4
        Mode: access-point
        Phy: wifi1
        Status: down

Step 8: Expect a failure in the following command: Configure the MON device to connect to network1_2.4GHz using the following configuration:

set controllers wlan installation indoor
set controllers wlan radios wifi0 bandwidth 20MHz
set interfaces wlan wlan0 phy wifi0
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 bssid 52:5a:65:42:e3:e1
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 ssid network1_2.4GHz
set system wlan log-level configuration debug
set interfaces wlan wlan0 address 192.168.100.10/24
set interfaces wlan wlan0 type station network 1 security akm none

set interfaces bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan4 phy wifi1
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point security akm none
set interfaces wlan wlan4 type access-point ssid network1_2.4GHz
set interfaces wlan wlan5 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan5 phy wifi1

set interfaces wlan wlan1 type access-point ssid network1_5GHz
set interfaces wlan wlan2 bridge-group bridge br0
set interfaces wlan wlan2 phy wifi0
