Disable OPT Interface on Shedule
0%
Description
Hello,
it would be nice to give an option to assign an OPT interface for the sheduler in deep sleep mode or even by disabling the interface at all by using the webif. In current operational mode it is only possible to block access by assigned rules for a given timeframe but the interface is still up and transmitting power. It might be possible to add a shutdown/disable option for an interface for sleepmode or something like complete standby, while disableing the OPT interface at once.
i was struggling to have the same options like on a fritzbox currently in use by disabling wifi for a given timeframe at night. i cannot get the same behavior to work on the my alix pfsense so im asking for this as feature request in upcoming releases. thanks to all supporting pfsense.

Haha, too easy. Just added a cronjob as root disabling the wifi interface via
0 1 * * * * root /sbin/ifconfig run0_wlan1 down 0 7 * * * * root /sbin/ifconfig run0_wlan1 up
and all goes well. thx anyways.
[solved].
