/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ap-oos-broadcast {enabled|disabled}
[option {replace|prepend}]
/system/show ap-oos-broadcast-delay
These commands let you modify the SSIDs of a radio with an out-of-service
string when a node loses its egress connection for longer than the period
specified by
<oos_delay>
. The out-of-service string can be prepended to the
existing SSID or it can replace the existing SSID. The out-of-service string can
contain up to 14 characters. The default string is
outOfService..
and by default
it replaces the SSID.
The out-of-service delay (<oos_delay>) ranges from 30 to 300 seconds. The
default is 300 seconds. The out-of-service delay is set for the entire BelAir20E.
Use the
/system/show ap-oos-broadcast-delay
command to display the current
delay.
When a node’s egress connection is declared out-of-service, the node also
applies WPA AES encryption with a 16-character pre-shared key to all SSIDs
except for the default management SSID. This is to to prevent a user from
accidently connecting to an open SSID which is in out-of-service. The
16-character pre-shared key consists of the first 10 characters of the
out-of-service identifier followed by the last six digits of the node’s MAC
address. If the out-of-service identifier is less than 10 characters, then period
characters (.) are used to complete the first 10 characters of the pre-shared
key.
The status of a node's egress connection is determined as follows:
1 If a tunnel is enabled, the egress status is the tunnel's status.
2 If a tunnel is not enabled and there is a cable modem in the system, the
egress status is the modem's status.
3 If a tunnel is not enabled and there is no cable modem in the system, the
egress status is the Ethernet link's status.
