Does master interface needs to run for slave to be active?

Practical question - in CapsMan there is one master configuration with SSID, and then I have slave configurations with different SSIDs.

How do I turn off the master configuration SSID off? - If I just disable the master config, all slaves are down (as it should be).

Thanks

Either the master interface is on and then the slaves will be as well.
Or it’s off, and then everything beneath is off as well.

Is your requirement a dynamic condition or a static one ?
Why would you want to disable that particular SSID ?

If static, remove one of the slave configs, set it as master. Done.
If dynamic, tricky …

How I would approach it:
Reorder the configs so the master is an active config (an SSID which should ALWAYS be there, no matter what).
And move the current master config to a slave position where it can be toggled as you want.
It will not change anything performance wise but you gain flexibility switching that particular SSID on or off.

I have it configured as dynamic off. The best approach is what you suggested below; will rearrange the list and set the obligatory SSID as master, and voila.

Thanks!
