I have a Hostapd instance with two SSIDs Config includes interface=wlp0s15d3u4 driver=nl80211 ... ssid=test1 bssid=c2:03:3c:19:dd:c0 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 auth_algs=1 wpa=2 rsn_pairwise=CCMP wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK-SHA256 WPA-PSK wpa_psk_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.user macaddr_acl=1 accept_mac_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.user bss=wlan2 ssid=test2 bssid=c2:03:3c:19:dd:c1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 auth_algs=1 wpa=2 rsn_pairwise=TKIP CCMP wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK-SHA256 WPA-PSK wpa_psk_file=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.guest macaddr_acl=0 With this config, If I systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd I can immediately connect a wireless device, e.g. my phone, to either SSID = test1 or SSID = test2 What I'm *NOT* able to do is SWITCH the connection from one SSID to the other. Neither systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd connect to SSID = test1 switch connection to SSID = test2 nor systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd connect to SSID = test2 switch connection to SSID = test1 works. The switch-after-connect simply reports "Getting IP address ...", keeps retrying, and never connects. This, otoh, DOES work systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd connect to SSID = test1 systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd switch connection to SSID = test2 In the examples above, systemctl restart hostapd dhcpd is apparently required. Neither systemctl restart hostapd nor systemctl restart dhcpd is sufficient to allow me to switch. Is there some particular config in hostapd that's needed to allow switching SSIDs in this way? _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
