Add algorithm which chooses a APC and backup APC among the APs in a subnet. This APC can be used to perform few functions on behalf of the APs on the subnet. For example, the APC AP will be used as a radius proxy for the APs in the subnet. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Godavarthi <chaitanya.kiran@netexperience.com> |

Setting up your build machine
Requires a recent linux installation. Older systems without python 3.7 will have trouble. See this link for details: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images
Install build packages: sudo apt install build-essential libncurses5-dev gawk git libssl-dev gettext zlib1g-dev swig unzip time rsync python3 python3-setuptools python3-yaml.
Plus specific for TIP: sudo apt-get install openvswitch-common
Doing a native build on Linux
First we need to clone and setup our tree. This will result in an openwrt/.
python3 setup.py --setup
Next we need to select the profile and base package selection. This setup will install the feeds, packages and generate the .config file. The available profiles are ap2220, ea8300, ecw5211, ecw5410.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py ap2220 wlan-ap wifi
If you want to build an AX image you need to setup a different config. The available profiles are hawkeye, cypress, wallaby.
cd openwrt
./scripts/gen_config.py wallaby wifi-ax
Finally we can build the tree.
make -j X V=s
Builds for different profiles can co-exist in the same tree. Switching is done by simple calling gen_config.py again.
Doing a docker build
Start by installing docker.io on your host system and ensuring that you can run an unprivileged container. Once this is done edit the Dockerfile and choose the Ubuntu flavour. This might depend on your host installation. Then simple call (available targets are AP2220, EA8300, ECW5211, ECW5410)
TARGET=AP2200 make -j 8
