32 Appendix G: Considerations need to be made during hostapd usage
32.1 Parameters updated from hostapd.conf file
The following are the parameters that will be updated from
hostapd conf
file instead of using onebox util ioctls.
• Band Selection:To enable 40MHz for onebox-mobile AP using hostapd following params must be enabled in
hostap.conf file
ieee80211n=1
ht_capab=[HT40-] (or) ht_capab=[HT40+]
require_ht=1
wmm_enabled=1
• Hidden ssid: To disable ssid broadcast in beacons for onebox-mobile AP using hostapd , use following
variable in hostapd.conf file.
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
• DTIM Interval: To set dtim interval in beacons for onebox-mobile AP using hostapd, use following variable
in hostapd.conf file.
dtim_period=5
• SHORT GI: To enable Short GI using hostapd following params must be enabled in hostap.conf file.
ht_capab=[SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40]
• Beacon Interval : To set beacon interval for onebox-mobile AP using hostapd, use following variable in
hostapd.conf file.
beacon_int=200
Here ht_capab variable must be set as per the channel selected, description regarding this is available in
hostap.conf file, set_htconf ioctl will not work in case of hostapd.
Here hide_ssid ioctl will not work in case of hostapd.
Here dtim_period iwprivioctl will not work in case of hostapd.
Here SHORT-GI iwprivioctl will not work in case of hostapd.
Here beacon_int iwprivioctl will not work in case of hostapd.
