default.conf | 8 years ago |
ap.py is a wrapper for create_ap.py. It allows you to run a simple access point using a predefined configuration in different environments easily.
Copy default.conf to /etc/create_ap/default.conf
You can edit default.conf to match your needs. For a basic setup, just edit SSID
and PASSPHRASE
.
SHARE_METHOD
, WIFI_IFACE
and INTERNET_IFACE
fields will be overwritten at runtime with ap.py arguments.
Additionally, you can copy ap.py to your path (/usr/local/bin/ap, for example)
Share your ethernet (eth0) network by forwarding requests (aka bridge) from your wireless interface (wlan0):
ap bridge wlan0 eth0
All requests done by a wireless device connected on wlan0 will be forwarded to your ethernet network. No need for local DHCP server.
Share your ethernet (eth0) network by rewriting requests (aka NAT) from your wireless interface (wlan0):
ap nat wlan0 eth0
All requests done by a wireless device connected on wlan0 will be rewritten and sent as if your computer sent them. A local DHCP server is needed but will be setup by create_ap.py.
Share your wireless network (wlan0) to another wireless interface (wlan1) (useful if your wireless network does not allow clients communication):
ap nat wlan1 wlan0
All requests done by a wireless device connected on wlan0 will be rewritten and sent as if your computer sent them. A local DHCP server is needed but will be setup by create_ap.py. Please note that two wireless interfaces can not be bridged.
Create an ‘empty’ wireless (wlan0) network without internet access (allow devices to comunicate to each other):
ap none wlan0
A local DHCP server is needed but will be setup by create_ap.py.
