176# You can customize the ACS survey algorithm with following variables:
177#
178# acs_num_scans requirement is 1..100 - number of scans to be performed that
179# are used to trigger survey data gathering of an underlying device driver.
180# Scans are passive and typically take a little over 100ms (depending on the
181# driver) on each available channel for given hw_mode. Increasing this value
182# means sacrificing startup time and gathering more data wrt channel
183# interference that may help choosing a better channel. This can also help fine
184# tune the ACS scan time in case a driver has different scan dwell times.
185#
Dmitry Shmidt7f656022015-02-25 14:36:37 -0800186# acs_chan_bias is a space-separated list of <channel>:<bias> pairs. It can be
187# used to increase (or decrease) the likelihood of a specific channel to be
188# selected by the ACS algorithm. The total interference factor for each channel
189# gets multiplied by the specified bias value before finding the channel with
190# the lowest value. In other words, values between 0.0 and 1.0 can be used to
191# make a channel more likely to be picked while values larger than 1.0 make the
192# specified channel less likely to be picked. This can be used, e.g., to prefer
193# the commonly used 2.4 GHz band channels 1, 6, and 11 (which is the default

3099#
3100# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
3101# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with

3103#

3105# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
3106# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
3107# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
3108# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
3109# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
3110# administered bit)
3111#
3112# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
3113# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
3114# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:

3141# Multiple BSSID Advertisement in IEEE 802.11ax
3142# IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 added a feature where instead of multiple interfaces
3143# on a common radio transmitting individual Beacon frames, those interfaces can
3144# form a set with a common Beacon frame transmitted for all. The interface
3145# which is brought up first is called the transmitting profile of the MBSSID
3146# set which transmits the Beacon frames. The remaining interfaces are called
3147# the non-transmitting profiles and these are advertised inside the Multiple
3148# BSSID element in the Beacon and Probe Response frames from the first
3149# interface.
3150#
3151# The transmitting interface is visible to all stations in the vicinity, however
3152# the stations that do not support parsing of the Multiple BSSID element will
3153# not be able to connect to the non-transmitting interfaces.
3154#
3155# Enhanced Multiple BSSID Advertisements (EMA)
3156# When enabled, the non-transmitting interfaces are split into multiple
3157# Beacon frames. The number of Beacon frames required to cover all the
3158# non-transmitting profiles is called the profile periodicity.
3159#
3160# Refer to IEEE Std 802.11-2020 for details regarding the procedure and
