MT300A Multiple SSID with LEDE 17.01

Hi All,

Here is my wireless configuration:

config wifi-device ‘radio0’
option type ‘mac80211’
option channel ‘11’
option hwmode ‘11n’
option path ‘platform/10180000.wmac’
option htmode ‘HT20’
option country ‘IN’

config wifi-iface ‘aName’
option device ‘radio0’
option network ‘lan’
option mode ‘ap’
option ssid ‘aSSID’
option encryption ‘psk-mixed’
option key ‘aKey’

config wifi-iface ‘anotherName’
option device ‘radio0’
option mode ‘ap’
option ssid ‘anotherSSID’
option network ‘lan’
option encryption ‘psk-mixed’
option key ‘anotherKey’

Once saved and following a wifi command I checked with ifconfig my configuration.

I noticed that the first access point wlan0 takes the mac address of br-lan, eth0, eth0.1 interfaces

However the second access point wlan0-1 takes the mac address of my eth0.2 interface (wan).

is it an expected behaviour ?

Thanks

Does it cause a problem?

WiFi driver change mac address automatically. This is not related to your LAN/WAN mac address.

It is just coincidence in your case.

Thanks.

No problem for the moment.

I was just surprised to see that. I was expecting to see the same mac address as this ssid is bound to the same vlan (br-lan)
