Band

The following scenarios show how to configure WLAN capable devices to operate on the 2.4GHz and in the 5GHz band.

Band Configuration

Description

In this example, a WLAN interface will be created on top of the 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio module in access-point mode. Then, correct operation will be checked using operational commands.

Scenario

Example 1

Step 1: Get the supported bands from wifi1 capabilities list:

Show output

Phy: wifi1
        modes: 802.11g,802.11n
        stations: 64
        bandwidths: 20MHz,40MHz
        bands: 2.4GHz
        tx-power: 11,10,13,12,15,14,17,16,19,18,1,3,2,5,4,7,6,9,20,8
        supported-channels: 11,10,13,12,14,1,3,2,5,4,7,6,9,8
        vaps: 2
        spatial-streams: 1,2
        ht-capabilities: [LDPC][TX-STBC][RX-STBC1]
        max-tx-power: 20

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set controllers wlan radios wifi1 band 2.4GHz
set controllers wlan radios wifi1 channel 1
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 network_2.4GHz

Example 2

Step 1: Get the supported bands from wifi0 capabilities list:

Show output

Phy: wifi0
        modes: 802.11a,802.11ax,802.11ac,802.11n
        stations: 64
        bandwidths: 20MHz,80MHz,40MHz
        bands: 5GHz
        ht-capabilities: [LDPC][TX-STBC][RX-STBC1]
        tx-power: 11,10,13,12,15,14,17,16,19,18,1,3,2,5,4,7,6,9,20,8
        vht-capabilities: [SU-BEAMFORMEE][RXLDPC][BF-ANTENNA-4][TX-STBC-2BY1][SOUNDING-DIMENSION-2][SU-BEAMFORMER][HTC-VHT][MAX-MPDU-3895][RX-ANTENNA-PATTERN][TX-ANTENNA-PATTERN][RX-STBC-1][MAX-A-MPDU-LEN-EXP7]
        supported-channels: 153,157,60,132,116,64,136,112,48,44,40,144,140,149,120,108,124,128,165,100,161,104,56,36,52
        spatial-streams: 1,2
        vaps: 2
        max-tx-power: 20

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set controllers wlan installation indoor
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 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 network_5GHz
