Adding a VirtualAP from the console?

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello,
I can’t figure out how to add a VirtualAP to my CRS125 via the console. I can do it in WebFig but that’s not scriptable and I’m working on a recovery script since I’ve been pretty awesome at screwing up my CRS so far via misconfig of various things.

Thanks!

While this post was sitting in moderation I discovered the “export” feature of the console. My strategy now is to configure the wireless stuff in WebFig since it’s pretty complicated, then export it via the console and save that into a recovery script.

/interface wireless
add master-interface=wlan1 name=vap1

Thanks for that. I appreciate it.

The console commands for full setup such as assignment of a security profile are a bit longer and fiddly (as seen from the export command after configuring everything), so I’m configuring via WebFig and exporting into a recovery script for later.

There are just more of them, but its doable. Personally I prefer the console.
