  1. wpa_supplicant and Wi-Fi P2P
  2. ============================
  3. This document describes how the Wi-Fi P2P implementation in
  4. wpa_supplicant can be configured and how an external component on the
  5. client (e.g., management GUI) is used to enable WPS enrollment and
  6. registrar registration.
  7. Introduction to Wi-Fi P2P
  8. -------------------------
  9. TODO
  10. More information about Wi-Fi P2P is available from Wi-Fi Alliance:
  11. http://www.wi-fi.org/Wi-Fi_Direct.php
  12. wpa_supplicant implementation
  13. -----------------------------
  14. TODO
  15. wpa_supplicant configuration
  16. ----------------------------
  17. Wi-Fi P2P is an optional component that needs to be enabled in the
  18. wpa_supplicant build configuration (.config). Here is an example
  19. configuration that includes Wi-Fi P2P support and Linux nl80211
  20. -based driver interface:
  21. CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
  22. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y
  23. CONFIG_P2P=y
  24. CONFIG_AP=y
  25. CONFIG_WPS=y
  26. In run-time configuration file (wpa_supplicant.conf), some parameters
  27. for P2P may be set. In order to make the devices easier to recognize,
  28. device_name and device_type should be specified. For example,
  29. something like this should be included:
  30. ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
  31. device_name=My P2P Device
  32. device_type=1-0050F204-1
  33. wpa_cli
  34. -------
  35. Actual Wi-Fi P2P operations are requested during runtime. These can be
  36. done for example using wpa_cli (which is described below) or a GUI
  37. like wpa_gui-qt4.
  38. wpa_cli starts in interactive mode if no command string is included on
  39. the command line. By default, it will select the first network interface
  40. that it can find (and that wpa_supplicant controls). If more than one
  41. interface is in use, it may be necessary to select one of the explicitly
  42. by adding -i argument on the command line (e.g., 'wpa_cli -i wlan1').
  43. Most of the P2P operations are done on the main interface (e.g., the
  44. interface that is automatically added when the driver is loaded, e.g.,
  45. wlan0). When using a separate virtual interface for group operations
  46. (e.g., wlan1), the control interface for that group interface may need
  47. to be used for some operations (mainly WPS activation in GO). This may
  48. change in the future so that all the needed operations could be done
  49. over the main control interface.
  50. Device Discovery
  51. p2p_find [timeout in seconds] [type=<social|progressive>] \
  52. [dev_id=<addr>] [delay=<search delay in ms>]
  53. The default behavior is to run a single full scan in the beginning and
  54. then scan only social channels. type=social will scan only social
  55. channels, i.e., it skips the initial full scan. type=progressive is
  56. like the default behavior, but it will scan through all the channels
  57. progressively one channel at the time in the Search state rounds. This
  58. will help in finding new groups or groups missed during the initial
  59. full scan.
  60. The optional dev_id option can be used to specify a single P2P peer to
  61. search for. The optional delay parameter can be used to request an extra
  62. delay to be used between search iterations (e.g., to free up radio
  63. resources for concurrent operations).
  64. p2p_listen [timeout in seconds]
  65. Start Listen-only state (become discoverable without searching for
  66. other devices). Optional parameter can be used to specify the duration
  67. for the Listen operation in seconds. This command may not be of that
  68. much use during normal operations and is mainly designed for
  69. testing. It can also be used to keep the device discoverable without
  70. having to maintain a group.
  71. p2p_stop_find
  72. Stop ongoing P2P device discovery or other operation (connect, listen
  73. mode).
  74. p2p_flush
  75. Flush P2P peer table and state.
  76. Group Formation
  77. p2p_prov_disc <peer device address> <display|keypad|pbc> [join|auto]
  78. Send P2P provision discovery request to the specified peer. The
  79. parameters for this command are the P2P device address of the peer and
  80. the desired configuration method. For example, "p2p_prov_disc
  81. 02:01:02:03:04:05 display" would request the peer to display a PIN for
  82. us and "p2p_prov_disc 02:01:02:03:04:05 keypad" would request the peer
  83. to enter a PIN that we display.
  84. The optional "join" parameter can be used to indicate that this command
  85. is requesting an already running GO to prepare for a new client. This is
  86. mainly used with "display" to request it to display a PIN. The "auto"
  87. parameter can be used to request wpa_supplicant to automatically figure
  88. out whether the peer device is operating as a GO and if so, use
  89. join-a-group style PD instead of GO Negotiation style PD.
  90. p2p_connect <peer device address> <pbc|pin|PIN#> [display|keypad]
  91. [persistent|persistent=<network id>] [join|auth]
  92. [go_intent=<0..15>] [freq=<in MHz>] [ht40] [provdisc]
  93. Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes
  94. optional group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning,
  95. and establishing data connection.
  96. The <pbc|pin|PIN#> parameter specifies the WPS provisioning
  97. method. "pbc" string starts pushbutton method, "pin" string start PIN
  98. method using an automatically generated PIN (which will be returned as
  99. the command return code), PIN# means that a pre-selected PIN can be
  100. used (e.g., 12345670). [display|keypad] is used with PIN method
  101. to specify which PIN is used (display=dynamically generated random PIN
  102. from local display, keypad=PIN entered from peer display). "persistent"
  103. parameter can be used to request a persistent group to be formed. The
  104. "persistent=<network id>" alternative can be used to pre-populate
  105. SSID/passphrase configuration based on a previously used persistent
  106. group where this device was the GO. The previously used parameters will
  107. then be used if the local end becomes the GO in GO Negotiation (which
  108. can be forced with go_intent=15).
  109. "join" indicates that this is a command to join an existing group as a
  110. client. It skips the GO Negotiation part. This will send a Provision
  111. Discovery Request message to the target GO before associating for WPS
  112. provisioning.
  113. "auth" indicates that the WPS parameters are authorized for the peer
  114. device without actually starting GO Negotiation (i.e., the peer is
  115. expected to initiate GO Negotiation). This is mainly for testing
  116. purposes.
  117. "go_intent" can be used to override the default GO Intent for this GO
  118. Negotiation.
  119. "freq" can be used to set a forced operating channel (e.g., freq=2412
  120. to select 2.4 GHz channel 1).
  121. "provdisc" can be used to request a Provision Discovery exchange to be
  122. used prior to starting GO Negotiation as a workaround with some deployed
  123. P2P implementations that require this to allow the user to accept the
  124. connection.
  125. p2p_group_add [persistent|persistent=<network id>] [freq=<freq in MHz>] [ht40]
  126. Set up a P2P group owner manually (i.e., without group owner
  127. negotiation with a specific peer). This is also known as autonomous
  128. GO. Optional persistent=<network id> can be used to specify restart of
  129. a persistent group. Optional freq=<freq in MHz> can be used to force
  130. the GO to be started on a specific frequency. Special freq=2 or freq=5
  131. options can be used to request the best 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band channel
  132. to be selected automatically.
  133. p2p_reject <peer device address>
  134. Reject connection attempt from a peer (specified with a device
  135. address). This is a mechanism to reject a pending GO Negotiation with
  136. a peer and request to automatically block any further connection or
  137. discovery of the peer.
  138. p2p_group_remove <group interface>
  139. Terminate a P2P group. If a new virtual network interface was used for
  140. the group, it will also be removed. The network interface name of the
  141. group interface is used as a parameter for this command.
  142. p2p_cancel
  143. Cancel an ongoing P2P group formation and joining-a-group related
  144. operation. This operations unauthorizes the specific peer device (if any
  145. had been authorized to start group formation), stops P2P find (if in
  146. progress), stops pending operations for join-a-group, and removes the
  147. P2P group interface (if one was used) that is in the WPS provisioning
  148. step. If the WPS provisioning step has been completed, the group is not
  149. terminated.
  150. p2p_remove_client <peer's P2P Device Address|iface=<interface address>>
  151. This command can be used to remove the specified client from all groups
  152. (operating and persistent) from the local GO. Note that the peer device
  153. can rejoin the group if it is in possession of a valid key. See p2p_set
  154. per_sta_psk command below for more details on how the peer can be
  155. removed securely.
  156. Service Discovery
  157. p2p_serv_disc_req
  158. Schedule a P2P service discovery request. The parameters for this
  159. command are the device address of the peer device (or 00:00:00:00:00:00
  160. for wildcard query that is sent to every discovered P2P peer that
  161. supports service discovery) and P2P Service Query TLV(s) as hexdump. For
  162. example,
  163. p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000001
  164. schedules a request for listing all available services of all service
  165. discovery protocols and requests this to be sent to all discovered
  166. peers (note: this can result in long response frames). The pending
  167. requests are sent during device discovery (see p2p_find).
  168. Only a single pending wildcard query is supported, but there can be
  169. multiple pending peer device specific queries (each will be sent in
  170. sequence whenever the peer is found).
  171. This command returns an identifier for the pending query (e.g.,
  172. "1f77628") that can be used to cancel the request. Directed requests
  173. will be automatically removed when the specified peer has replied to
  174. it.
  175. Service Query TLV has following format:
  176. Length (2 octets, little endian) - length of following data
  177. Service Protocol Type (1 octet) - see the table below
  178. Service Transaction ID (1 octet) - nonzero identifier for the TLV
  179. Query Data (Length - 2 octets of data) - service protocol specific data
  180. Service Protocol Types:
  181. 0 = All service protocols
  182. 1 = Bonjour
  183. 2 = UPnP
  184. 3 = WS-Discovery
  185. 4 = Wi-Fi Display
  186. For UPnP, an alternative command format can be used to specify a
  187. single query TLV (i.e., a service discovery for a specific UPnP
  188. service):
  189. p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 upnp <version hex> <ST: from M-SEARCH>
  190. For example:
  191. p2p_serv_disc_req 00:00:00:00:00:00 upnp 10 urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice:1

  218. p2p_serv_disc_cancel_req <query identifier>
  219. Cancel a pending P2P service discovery request. This command takes a
  220. single parameter: identifier for the pending query (the value returned
  221. by p2p_serv_disc_req, e.g., "p2p_serv_disc_cancel_req 1f77628".
  222. p2p_serv_disc_resp
  223. Reply to a service discovery query. This command takes following
  224. parameters: frequency in MHz, destination address, dialog token,
  225. response TLV(s). The first three parameters are copied from the
  226. request event. For example, "p2p_serv_disc_resp 2437 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7
  227. 1 0300000101". This command is used only if external program is used
  228. to process the request (see p2p_serv_disc_external).
  229. p2p_service_update
  230. Indicate that local services have changed. This is used to increment
  231. the P2P service indicator value so that peers know when previously
  232. cached information may have changed. This is only needed when external
  233. service discovery processing is enabled since the commands to
  234. pre-configure services for internal processing will increment the
  235. indicator automatically.
  236. p2p_serv_disc_external <0|1>
  237. Configure external processing of P2P service requests: 0 (default) =
  238. no external processing of requests (i.e., internal code will process
  239. each request based on pre-configured services), 1 = external
  240. processing of requests (external program is responsible for replying
  241. to service discovery requests with p2p_serv_disc_resp). Please note
  242. that there is quite strict limit on how quickly the response needs to
  243. be transmitted, so use of the internal processing is strongly
  244. recommended.
  245. p2p_service_add bonjour <query hexdump> <RDATA hexdump>
  246. Add a local Bonjour service for internal SD query processing.
  247. Examples:
  248. # AFP Over TCP (PTR)
  249. p2p_service_add bonjour 0b5f6166706f766572746370c00c000c01 074578616d706c65c027

  260. Remove a local Bonjour service from internal SD query processing.
  261. p2p_service_add upnp <version hex> <service>
  262. Add a local UPnP service for internal SD query processing.
  263. Examples:

  272. Remove all local services from internal SD query processing.
  273. Invitation
  274. p2p_invite [persistent=<network id>|group=<group ifname>] [peer=address]
  275. [go_dev_addr=address] [freq=<freq in MHz>] [ht40] [pref=<MHz>]
  276. Invite a peer to join a group (e.g., group=wlan1) or to reinvoke a
  277. persistent group (e.g., persistent=4). If the peer device is the GO of
  278. the persistent group, the peer parameter is not needed. Otherwise it is
  279. used to specify which device to invite. go_dev_addr parameter can be
  280. used to override the GO device address for Invitation Request should
  281. it be not known for some reason (this should not be needed in most
  282. cases). When reinvoking a persistent group, the GO device can specify
  283. the frequency for the group with the freq parameter. When reinvoking a
  284. persistent group, the P2P client device can use freq parameter to force
  285. a specific operating channel (or invitation failure if GO rejects that)
  286. or pref parameter to request a specific channel (while allowing GO to
  287. select to use another channel, if needed).
  288. Group Operations
  289. (These are used on the group interface.)
  290. wps_pin <any|address> <PIN>
  291. Start WPS PIN method. This allows a single WPS Enrollee to connect to
  292. the AP/GO. This is used on the GO when a P2P client joins an existing
  293. group. The second parameter is the address of the Enrollee or a string
  294. "any" to allow any station to use the entered PIN (which will restrict
  295. the PIN for one-time-use). PIN is the Enrollee PIN read either from a
  296. label or display on the P2P Client/WPS Enrollee.
  297. wps_pbc
  298. Start WPS PBC method (i.e., push the button). This allows a single WPS
  299. Enrollee to connect to the AP/GO. This is used on the GO when a P2P
  300. client joins an existing group.
  301. p2p_get_passphrase
  302. Get the passphrase for a group (only available when acting as a GO).
  303. p2p_presence_req [<duration> <interval>] [<duration> <interval>]
  304. Send a P2P Presence Request to the GO (this is only available when
  305. acting as a P2P client). If no duration/interval pairs are given, the
  306. request indicates that this client has no special needs for GO
  307. presence. the first parameter pair gives the preferred duration and
  308. interval values in microseconds. If the second pair is included, that
  309. indicates which value would be acceptable.
  310. Parameters
  311. p2p_ext_listen [<period> <interval>]
  312. Configure Extended Listen Timing. If the parameters are omitted, this
  313. feature is disabled. If the parameters are included, Listen State will
  314. be entered every interval msec for at least period msec. Both values
  315. have acceptable range of 1-65535 (with interval obviously having to be
  316. larger than or equal to duration). If the P2P module is not idle at
  317. the time the Extended Listen Timing timeout occurs, the Listen State
  318. operation will be skipped.
  319. The configured values will also be advertised to other P2P Devices. The
  320. received values are available in the p2p_peer command output:
  321. ext_listen_period=100 ext_listen_interval=5000
  322. p2p_set <field> <value>
  323. Change dynamic P2P parameters
  324. p2p_set discoverability <0/1>
  325. Disable/enable advertisement of client discoverability. This is
  326. enabled by default and this parameter is mainly used to allow testing
  327. of device discoverability.
  328. p2p_set managed <0/1>
  329. Disable/enable managed P2P Device operations. This is disabled by
  330. default.
  331. p2p_set listen_channel <1/6/11>
  332. Set P2P Listen channel. This is mainly meant for testing purposes and
  333. changing the Listen channel during normal operations can result in
  334. protocol failures.
  335. p2p_set ssid_postfix <postfix>
  336. Set postfix string to be added to the automatically generated P2P SSID
  337. (DIRECT-<two random characters>). For example, postfix of "-testing"
  338. could result in the SSID becoming DIRECT-ab-testing.
  339. p2p_set per_sta_psk <0/1>
  340. Disabled(default)/enables use of per-client PSK in the P2P groups. This
  341. can be used to request GO to assign a unique PSK for each client during
  342. WPS provisioning. When enabled, this allow clients to be removed from
  343. the group securily with p2p_remove_client command since that client's
  344. PSK is removed at the same time to prevent it from connecting back using
  345. the old PSK. When per-client PSK is not used, the client can still be
  346. disconnected, but it will be able to re-join the group since the PSK it
  347. learned previously is still valid. It should be noted that the default
  348. passphrase on the GO that is normally used to allow legacy stations to
  349. connect through manual configuration does not change here, so if that is
  350. shared, devices with knowledge of that passphrase can still connect.
  351. set <field> <value>
  352. Set global configuration parameters which may also affect P2P
  353. operations. The format on these parameters is same as is used in
  354. wpa_supplicant.conf. Only the parameters listen here should be
  355. changed. Modifying other parameters may result in incorrect behavior
  356. since not all existing users of the parameters are updated.
  357. set uuid <UUID>
  358. Set WPS UUID (by default, this is generated based on the MAC address).
  359. set device_name <device name>
  360. Set WPS Device Name (also included in some P2P messages).
  361. set manufacturer <manufacturer>
  362. Set WPS Manufacturer.
  363. set model_name <model name>
  364. Set WPS Model Name.
  365. set model_number <model number>
  366. Set WPS Model Number.
  367. set serial_number <serial number>
  368. Set WPS Serial Number.
  369. set device_type <device type>
  370. Set WPS Device Type.
  371. set os_version <OS version>
  372. Set WPS OS Version.
  373. set config_methods <config methods>
  374. Set WPS Configuration Methods.
  375. set sec_device_type <device type>
  376. Add a new Secondary Device Type.
  377. set p2p_go_intent <GO intent>
  378. Set the default P2P GO Intent. Note: This value can be overridden in
  379. p2p_connect command and as such, there should be no need to change the
  380. default value here during normal operations.
  381. set p2p_ssid_postfix <P2P SSID postfix>
  382. Set P2P SSID postfix.
  383. set persistent_reconnect <0/1>
  384. Disable/enabled persistent reconnect for reinvocation of persistent
  385. groups. If enabled, invitations to reinvoke a persistent group will be
  386. accepted without separate authorization (e.g., user interaction).
  387. set country <two character country code>
  388. Set country code (this is included in some P2P messages).
  389. Status
  390. p2p_peers [discovered]
  391. List P2P Device Addresses of all the P2P peers we know. The optional
  392. "discovered" parameter filters out the peers that we have not fully
  393. discovered, i.e., which we have only seen in a received Probe Request
  394. frame.
  395. p2p_peer <P2P Device Address>
  396. Fetch information about a known P2P peer.
  397. Group Status
  398. (These are used on the group interface.)
  399. status
  400. Show status information (connection state, role, use encryption
  401. parameters, IP address, etc.).
  402. sta
  403. Show information about an associated station (when acting in AP/GO role).
  404. all_sta
  405. Lists the currently associated stations.
  406. Configuration data
  407. list_networks
  408. Lists the configured networks, including stored information for
  409. persistent groups. The identifier in this list is used with
  410. p2p_group_add and p2p_invite to indicate which persistent group is to
  411. be reinvoked.
  412. remove_network <network id>
  413. Remove a network entry from configuration.
