2.5.2 Create Autonomous 1:2 P2P Group (Push button Control)

The following section details the Create Autonomous 1:2 P2P Group (Push button Control) network using the hardware setup detailed in Figure 2-2.

Table 2-8 Create Autonomous 1:2 P2P Group (Push button Control)
Step # EVM #1 EVM #2 Comments
1 Run: p2p_start.sh Run: p2p_start.sh cd /usr/share/wl18xx/ ./p2p_start.sh
2 Run: p2p_cli.sh Run: p2p_cli.sh ./p2p_cli.sh
3 p2p_find p2p_find
4 p2p_peers p2p_peers verify p2p candidates MAC ADDRESS
5 p2p_group_add define EVM#1 as Group Owner (GO)
6 Exit wpa_cli on EVM#1 type: quit
7 Re-enter wpa_cli using the newly created 'p2p-wlan0-0' interface wpa_cli -ip2p-wlan0-0
8 wps_pbc Work in Push Button mode
9 p2p_connect EVM#1_MAC_ADDRESS pbc join
10 exit wpa_cli exit wpa_cli type: quit
11 Acquire IP address for p2p-wlan0-0 Acquire IP address for p2p-wlan0-0 EVM#1: ifconfig p2p-wlan0-0 192.168.3.3 EVM#2: ifconfig p2p-wlan0-0 192.168.3.4
12 Verify connection with ping EVM#1: ping 192.168.3.4 EVM#2: ping 192.168.3.3

In order to configure the IP address to the Group Owner (GO) and the Clients there are two methods:

  • Static IP - Described in the previous section.
  • Enable the DHCP server at the GO EVM, which will provide IP address to the clients using DHCP session. This is explained in the below section.
