I've started the hostapd deamon and am able to connect to it via Wi-Fi. Now I want to SSH from the connected device into the server that started the hostapd WiFi. The SSH deamon is running of course.
The problem is that I don't know the IP address. How can I figure this out? or configure it properly?
It seems that the server does not have an IP address for wlan0
when in AP mode.
And the connected device seems to be connected to a network with 65536 possible IP addresses. Can I limit this to 256 IP addresses?
Is this even something to be configured via hostapd? Or do I need to configure another service for that?
Note that I do not share an internet connection for the connected devices. I just want them to be able to SSH into the server via its own Wi-Fi.
