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

Dmitry Shmidt8d520ff2011-05-09 14:06:53 -07003220##### Multiple BSSID support ##################################################
3221#
3222# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
3223# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
3224# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
3225#
3226# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
3227# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
3228# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
3229# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>). If a BSSID is configured for
3230# every secondary BSS, this limitation is not applied at hostapd and other
3231# masks may be used if the driver supports them (e.g., swap the locally
3232# administered bit)
3233#
3234# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
3235# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
3236# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
3237# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
3238# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
3239# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
3240#
Dmitry Shmidt31a29cc2016-03-09 15:58:17 -08003241# Alternatively, the 'use_driver_iface_addr' parameter can be used to request
3242# hostapd to use the driver auto-generated interface address (e.g., to use the
3243# exact MAC addresses allocated to the device).
3244#
Dmitry Shmidtdf5a7e42014-04-02 12:59:59 -07003245# Not all drivers support multiple BSSes. The exact mechanism for determining
3246# the driver capabilities is driver specific. With the current (i.e., a recent
3247# kernel) drivers using nl80211, this information can be checked with "iw list"
3248# (search for "valid interface combinations").
3249#
Dmitry Shmidt8d520ff2011-05-09 14:06:53 -07003250# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS

3263# Multiple BSSID Advertisement in IEEE 802.11ax
3264# IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 added a feature where instead of multiple interfaces
3265# on a common radio transmitting individual Beacon frames, those interfaces can
3266# form a set with a common Beacon frame transmitted for all. The interface
3267# which is brought up first is called the transmitting profile of the MBSSID
3268# set which transmits the Beacon frames. The remaining interfaces are called
3269# the non-transmitting profiles and these are advertised inside the Multiple
3270# BSSID element in the Beacon and Probe Response frames from the first
3271# interface.
3272#
3273# The transmitting interface is visible to all stations in the vicinity, however
3274# the stations that do not support parsing of the Multiple BSSID element will
3275# not be able to connect to the non-transmitting interfaces.
3276#
3277# Enhanced Multiple BSSID Advertisements (EMA)
3278# When enabled, the non-transmitting interfaces are split into multiple
3279# Beacon frames. The number of Beacon frames required to cover all the
3280# non-transmitting profiles is called the profile periodicity.
3281#
3282# Refer to IEEE Std 802.11-2020 for details regarding the procedure and
3283# required MAC address assignment.
3284#
3285# Following configuration is per radio.
3286# 0 = Disabled (default)
3287# 1 = Multiple BSSID advertisement enabled.
3288# 2 = Enhanced multiple BSSID advertisement enabled.
3289#mbssid=0
3290#
3291# The transmitting interface should be added with the 'interface' option while
3292# the non-transmitting interfaces should be added using the 'bss' option.
3293# Security configuration should be added separately per interface, if required.
