there is no inherent prioritization or preference for one access point. The section on quality-of-
service settings (section 13) describes how prioritization on a per-access point basis can be
configured.
9.2 Enabling and Disabling Access Points
Access points can be individually enabled or disabled. An access point can be configured
when it is disabled and parameter settings are retained when it is disabled.
CLI
An access point can be enabled with the „enable‟ parameter in the „wlanN‟ interface as shown
below.
> use wlan1
wlan1> set enable=yes
An access point can be disabled with the following commands.
> use wlan1
wlan1> set enable=no
Web GUI
The access point status can be set via the web interface using the appropriate “wlanN” tab on
the “Wireless Interfaces” page (see Figure 32).
9.3 Access Point Client Device Address Space
The enabled wlanN interfaces are assigned segments of the class C address space that each
node has to share between its client interfaces, which include eth0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, and
wlan4. The start address of the address segment and its size can be set with the IP address
range start address and size parameters. The following restrictions are placed on the address
segment configuration:
Each active interface must be assigned an address segment.
The IP address range start address („ip.start.requested‟ in the CLI) must be one of the
following values: 1, 33, 65, 97, 129, 161, 193, 225.
The IP address range size („ip.size.requested‟ in the CLI) must be one of the following
values: 31, 63, 127, 255.
The IP address range size and start address must be chosen such that the address
segment does not cross a netmask boundary. Table 9 lists allowed combinations.
The address spaces for enabled interfaces must start at different addresses.
