Feature	Description	Implementation
L2 Discovery	UDP broadcast + multicast every 10s	`announce.c` → port 10001
Adoption	AES-128-CBC handshake with the controller	`inform.c` → `handle_response()`
WiFi Config	Creates WiFi networks from the controller via UCI	`wlan.c` → `wlan_apply_config()`
Band Steering	802.11k/v Neighbor Reports + BSS Transition	`wlan.c` → `apply_vap()`
Fast Roaming	802.11r FT with mobility_domain derived from MAC	`wlan.c` → `apply_vap()`
WPA3 / PMF	SAE, SAE-mixed, 802.11w 0/1/2	`wlan.c` → `sec_to_uci()`
WiFi Clients	MAC, signal, bitrate, bytes per VAP	`clients.c` → `iw station dump`
Wired Clients	MACs from bridge FDB	`clients.c` → `bridge fdb`
CPU / RAM	Real-time usage	`sysinfo.c` → `/proc/stat` + `/proc/meminfo`
Interfaces	Speed, duplex, rx/tx counters	`sysinfo.c` → `/proc/net/dev`
Channel / RF	Channel utilization, noise, tx_power	`sysinfo.c` → `iw survey dump`
LLDP Send	Custom frames via AF_PACKET raw socket	`lldp.c` → `lldp_send_frame()`
LLDP Read	Neighbors for UniFi topology	`lldp.c` → `lldpctl -f json`

Quick Installation

# On the OpenWrt device:
opkg update
opkg install gcc make libmbedtls-dev libuci-dev libjson-c-dev

# Compile and install
make -f Makefile.standalone install

# Configure
vi /etc/openuf/openuf.conf   # adjust controller_ip and lan_if

# Start
/etc/init.d/openuf start
/etc/init.d/openuf enable    # start on boot

Configuration

controller_ip   = 192.168.1.1   # UniFi controller IP
lan_if          = br-lan        # LAN interface (for MAC and IP)
ufmodel         = u6-inwall     # emulated model
inform_interval = 10            # seconds between informs
enable_announce = 1
enable_inform   = 1

U6 InWall Model

A U6 IW is emulated because it has 5 GbE ports, which covers most OpenWrt routers. The model reports:

5 ethernet ports (eth0-eth4)
2.4 GHz WiFi 6 Radio (HE/802.11ax)
5 GHz WiFi 6 Radio (HE/802.11ax)

LLDP

For visual topology in UniFi:

opkg install lldpd
/etc/init.d/lldpd start
/etc/init.d/lldpd enable

openuf sends its own LLDP frames even without lldpd (raw socket). With lldpd installed, it also reports upstream neighbors (switches).

Adoption

The process is automatic:

The AP appears as "Pending" in UniFi.
Click on "Adopt" → the controller sends a new key.
The AP applies the key and becomes "Connected".
The controller pushes the WiFi configuration (SSIDs, channels, etc.).

To reset: rm /etc/openuf/state.json && reboot

Dependencies

opkg install libmbedtls libuci libjson-c
opkg install lldpd   # optional, for topology
