Disable

The following scenario shows how to disable a WLAN interface (i.e, halt any selected WLAN network) and disable a radio module (i.e., halt any network configured on top of the selected module).

Disable Interface

Description

In this example, WLAN interfaces wlan4 will be disabled using the disable command.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 7.467/10.026/12.585/2.559 ms

Step 6: Run command configure at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 7: Run command delete interfaces bridge br0 address 192.168.100.1/24 at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 8: Run command set interfaces bridge br0 at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 9: Run command commit at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 10: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0:

set interfaces wlan wlan4 disable

Note

When disabled, a WLAN interface will be down (meaning no connection is possible).

Step 11: 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 12: 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 12:68:38:c6:f4:d9

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 13: Run command configure at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 14: Run command delete interfaces wlan wlan4 disable at DUT0 and expect this output: Step 15: Run command commit at DUT0 and expect this output:
