Hi,
is there a way to make Wirelessinterfaces / virtual APs always running, even when no client is connected? If the interface is not running OSPF stops advertising the network. If there is only one client joining and leaving a Virtual AP it ends with flapping routes in the whole network. it’s not an real issue at the moment but i want to avoid it.
Yes it is somehow possible. Dont know how, but I have solution too…
Make a bridge, set IP on that bridge and add that interface to bridge / port…
for example if you have this:
wlan 1 (real radio) 192.168.1.1/24 , wlan 2 (virtual AP) 192.168.2.1/24
bridge
name
add
Wlan1
add
Wlan2
port
add wlan1 to bridge Wlan1
add wlan2 to bridge Wlan2
ip address
set 192.168.1.1/24 from wlan1 to Wlan1
set 192.168.2.1/24 from wlan2 to Wlan2
In http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/Wireless search for disable-running-check
How to apply it:
/interface wireless set [find name~“wlan1”] disable-running-check=yes;
thx , i’ve not found that flag my self when i check the wireless manual
