4.3.6 Connect List
Submenu level: /interface wireless connect-list
Description
The Connect List is a list of rules (order is important), that determine to which AP the station should
connect to.
At first, the station is searching for APs all frequencies (from scan-list) in the respective band and makes
a list of Access Points. If the ssid is set under /interface wireless, the router removes all Access Points
from its AP list which do not have such ssid
If a rule is matched and the parameter connect is set to yes, the station will connect to this AP. If the
parameter says connect=no or the rule is not matched, we jump to the next rule.
If we have gone through all rules and haven't connected to any AP, yet. The router chooses an AP with
the best signal and ssid that is set under /interface wireless.
In case when the station has not connected to any AP, this process repeats from beginning.
Property Description
area-prefix (text) - a string that indicates the beginning from the area string of the AP. If the AP's area
begins with area-prefix, then this parameter returns true
connect (yes | no) - whether to connect to AP that matches this rule
interface (name) - name of the wireless interface
mac-address (MAC address) - MAC address of the AP. If set to 00:00:00:00:00:00, all APs are accepted
security-profile (name; default: none) - name of the security profile, used to connect to the AP. If one,
then those security profile is used which is configured for the respective interface
signal-range (integer) - signal strength range in dBm. Rule is matched, if the signal from AP is within this
range
ssid (text) - the ssid of the AP. If none set, all ssid's are accepted. Different ssids will be meaningful, if the
ssid for
the respective interface is set to ""
4.3.7 Access List
Submenu level: /interface wireless access-list
Description
The access list is used by the Access Point to restrict associations of clients. This list contains MAC
addresses of clients and determines what action to take when client attempts to connect. Also, the
forwarding of frames sent by the client is controlled. Note that is is an ordered list (i.e., checked from top
to bottom).
