Wireless LAN (WiFi)
###################
:abbr:`WLAN (Wireless LAN)` interface provide 802.11 (a/b/g/n/ac) wireless
support (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi) by means of compatible hardware. If your
hardware supports it, VyOS supports multiple logical wireless interfaces per
physical device.
There are three modes of operation for a wireless interface:
* :abbr:`WAP (Wireless Access-Point)` provides network access to connecting
stations if the physical hardware supports acting as a WAP
* A station acts as a Wi-Fi client accessing the network through an available
WAP
* Monitor, the system passively monitors any kind of wireless traffic
If the system detects an unconfigured wireless device, it will be automatically
added the configuration tree, specifying any detected settings (for example,
its MAC address) and configured to run in monitor mode.
Configuration
#############
Common interface configuration
------------------------------
.. cmdinclude:: ../_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
:var0: wireless
:var1: wlan0
Wireless specific options
-------------------------
Configuring Access-Point
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To be able to use the wireless interfaces you will first need to set a
regulatory domain with the country code of your location.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces wireless <interface> country-code <cc>
Configure system wide Wi-Fi regulatory domain. A reboot is required for this
change to be enabled.
The following example creates a WAP. When configuring multiple WAP interfaces,
you must specify unique IP addresses, channels, Network IDs commonly referred
to as :abbr:`SSID (Service Set Identifier)`, and MAC addresses.
The WAP in this example has the following characteristics:
* IP address ``192.168.2.1/24``
* Network ID (SSID) ``TEST``
* WPA passphrase ``12345678``
* Use 802.11n protocol
* Wireless channel ``1``
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces wireless wlan0 address '192.168.2.1/24'
set interfaces wireless wlan0 type access-point
set interfaces wireless wlan0 channel 1
set interfaces wireless wlan0 mode n
set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid 'TEST'
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa mode wpa2
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa cipher CCMP
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa passphrase '12345678'
Resulting in
.. code-block:: none
interfaces {
[...]
wireless wlan0 {
address 192.168.2.1/24
channel 1
mode n
security {
wpa {
cipher CCMP
mode wpa2
passphrase "12345678"
}
}
ssid "TEST"
type access-point
}
}
system {
[...]
wifi-regulatory-domain DE
}
To get it to work as a access point with this configuration you will need
to set up a DHCP server to work with that network. You can - of course - also
bridge the Wireless interface with any configured bridge
(:ref:`bridge-interface`) on the system.
WPA/WPA2 enterprise
*******************
:abbr:`WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)` and WPA2 Enterprise in combination with
802.1x based authentication can be used to authenticate users or computers
in a domain.
The wireless client (supplicant) authenticates against the RADIUS server
(authentication server) using an :abbr:`EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol)` method configured on the RADIUS server. The WAP (also referred
to as authenticator) role is to send all authentication messages between the
supplicant and the configured authentication server, thus the RADIUS server
is responsible for authenticating the users.
The WAP in this example has the following characteristics:
* IP address ``192.168.2.1/24``
* Network ID (SSID) ``Enterprise-TEST``
* WPA passphrase ``12345678``
* Use 802.11n protocol
* Wireless channel ``1``
* RADIUS server at ``192.168.3.10`` with shared-secret ``VyOSPassword``
.. code-block:: none

set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa cipher CCMP
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa radius server 192.168.3.10 key 'VyOSPassword'
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa radius server 192.168.3.10 port 1812
Resulting in
.. code-block:: none

}
}
}

Configuring Wireless Station
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The example creates a wireless station (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi client)
that accesses the network through the WAP defined in the above example. The
default physical device (``phy0``) is used.
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces wireless wlan0 type station
set interfaces wireless wlan0 address dhcp
set interfaces wireless wlan0 ssid Test
set interfaces wireless wlan0 security wpa
Resulting in
.. code-block:: none
interfaces {
[...]
wireless wlan0 {
address dhcp
security {
wpa {
passphrase "12345678"
}
}
ssid TEST
type station
}
