connect-list is used to assign priority and security settings to connections with remote access points, and to restrict allowed connections. connect-list is an ordered list of rules. Each rule in connect-list is attached to specific wireless interface, specified in the interface property of that rule (this is unlike access-list, where rules can apply to all interfaces). Rule can match MAC address of remote access point, it's signal strength and many other parameters.
Operation:
- connect-list rules are always checked sequentially, starting from the first.
- disabled rules are always ignored.
- Only the first matching rule is applied.
- If connect-list does not have any rule that matches remote access point, then the default values from the wireless interface configuration are used.
- If access point is matched by rule that has connect=no value, connection with this access point will not be attempted.
- If access point is matched by rule that has connect=yes value, connection with this access point will be attempted.
- In station mode, if several remote access points are matched by connect list rules with connect=yes value, connection will be attempted with access point that is matched by rule higher in the connect-list.
- If no remote access points are matched by connect-list rules with connect=yes value, then value of default-authentication interface property determines whether station will attempt to connect to any access point. If default-authentication=yes, station will choose access point with best signal and compatible security.
- In access point mode, connect-list is checked before establishing WDS link with remote device. If access point is not matched by any rule in the connect list, then the value of default-authentication determines whether WDS link will be established.
