Align - MikroTik RouterOS v2.9 Reference Manual

disable-running-check ( yes | no ; default: no ) - disable running check. For 'broken' wireless cards
it is a good idea to set this value to 'yes'
mac-address ( read-only: MAC address ; default: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ) - MAC address of the
master-interface. Specifying master-interface, this value will be set automatically
master-interface ( name ) - wireless interface which will be used by WDS
mtu ( integer : 0 ..65336 ; default: 1500 ) - Maximum Transmission Unit
name ( name ; default: wdsN ) - WDS interface name
wds-address ( MAC address ) - MAC address of the remote WDS host
Notes
When the link between WDS devices, using wds-mode=dynamic, goes down, the dynamic WDS
interfaces disappear and if there are any IP addresses set on this interface, their 'interface' setting
will change to (unknown). When the link comes up again, the 'interface' value will not change - it
will remain as (unknown). That's why it is not recommended to add IP addresses to dynamic WDS
interfaces.
If you want to use dynamic WDS in a bridge, set the wds-default-bridge value to desired bridge
interface name. When the link will go down and then it comes up, the dynamic WDS interface will
be put in the specified bridge automatically.
As the routers which are in WDS mode have to communicate at equal frequencies, it is not
recommended to use WDS and DFS simultaneously - it is most probable that these routers will not
connect to each other.
WDS significantly faster than EoIP (up to 10-20% on RouterBOARD 500 systems), so it is
recommended to use WDS whenever possible.
Example
[admin@MikroTik] interface wireless wds> add master-interface=wlan1 \
\... wds-address=00:0B:6B:30:2B:27 disabled=no
[admin@MikroTik] interface wireless wds> print

wds-address=00:0B:6B:30:2B:27

Align

Home menu level: /interface wireless align
Description
This feature is created to position wireless links. The align submenu describes properties which are
used if /interface wireless mode is set to alignment-only. In this mode the interface 'listens' to
those packets which are sent to it from other devices working on the same channel. The interface
also can send special packets which contains information about its parameters.
