The node provides IEEE 802.11 b/g/n WLAN interface support.
The WLAN interface can be configured as an access point (AP) that clients can connect to or as a station that can connect to another AP. The interface can perform both functions concurrently.
There are two areas of configuration for the WLAN interface:
the MDA-level configuration, which includes parameters such as channel, frequency band, and country
the port-level configuration, which includes elements such as the network service set identifier (SSID), security parameters, WLAN access point parameters, and WLAN station parameters
There can be multiple APs per WLAN MDA, but only one station. The station can connect to one network from a list of possible candidates.
The WLAN ports on the node share the same WLAN MDA-level configuration. Each port has parameters that are configurable per network SSID.
