Physical interfaces may be arranged into a link aggregation group (LAG) and associated with a parent LAG (virtual) interface. LAG interfaces can be recursively nested to model bonding of trunk groups. Like all virtual interfaces, LAG interfaces cannot be connected physically.
### Wireless Interfaces
Wireless interfaces may additionally track the following attributes:
* **Role** - AP or station
* **Channel** - One of several standard wireless channels
* **Channel Frequency** - The transmit frequency
* **Channel Width** - Channel bandwidth
If a predefined channel is selected, the frequency and width attributes will be assigned automatically. If no channel is selected, these attributes may be defined manually.
### IP Address Assignment
IP addresses can be assigned to interfaces. VLANs can also be assigned to each interface as either tagged or untagged. (An interface may have only one untagged VLAN.)

# Wireless LANs
A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel. Each instance must have an SSID, and may optionally be correlated to a VLAN. Wireless LANs can be arranged into hierarchical groups.
An interface may be attached to multiple wireless LANs, provided they are all operating on the same channel. Only wireless interfaces may be attached to wireless LANs.
Each wireless LAN may have authentication attributes associated with it, including:
* Authentication type
* Cipher
* Pre-shared key

# Wireless LAN Groups
Wireless LAN groups can be used to organize and classify wireless LANs. These groups are hierarchical: groups can be nested within parent groups. However, each wireless LAN may assigned only to one group.

# Wireless Links
A wireless link represents a connection between exactly two wireless interfaces. It may optionally be assigned an SSID and a description. It may also have a status assigned to it, similar to the cable model.
Each wireless link may have authentication attributes associated with it, including:
* Authentication type
* Cipher
* Pre-shared key
