Creating Access Point

Debian 12 ipv4 forwarding must be turned on manually

• Enable port forwarding:

compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ sudo sed -i 's/^#\(net.ipv[4,6].*forward\)/\1/' /etc/sysctl.conf

• Enable wireless AP (replace <SSID> and <PASSWORD> with desired access point parameters):

sudo nmcli device wifi hotspot ssid <SSID> password <PASSWORD> con-name HotspotCon-${wlan} ifname ${wlan}

• Disable wireless AP:

compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ sudo nmcli connection down HotspotCon-${wlan}

• Enable wireless AP again:

compulab@compulab-imx8mp:~$ sudo nmcli connection up HotspotCon-${wlan}
