On 7.13.1 wifi capsman seems not to match Audience radios by band-supported

Audience and cAP ax are on newest 7.13.1.

Capsman is running on cAP ax, Audience is CAP.

Capsman matches local radios by band-supported.

If band-supported is specified no provisioning is done from Audience. Interfaces are created and disabled, and not provisioned. Once band-supported is removed provisioning is working.

/interface/wifi/provisioning/ print detail  
Flags: X - disabled 
 0   supported-bands=5ghz-a,5ghz-n,5ghz-ac,5ghz-ax action=create-enabled master-configuration=cfg5

I would love do debug it, I have no idea how, even in the logs were not able to find anything.

Any help is welcome.

I believe the ‘supported-bands’ are AND-gated. Meaning that, with how you configured it, the radio will be provisioned with cfg5 configuration if, and only if, it supports 5GHz-A band AND 5GHz-N band AND 5GHz-AC band AND 5GHz-AX band. It needs to support all of them to get provisioned. Audience does NOT support AX.

Try and change it to ‘supported-bands=5ghz-a’. It’s the oldest 5GHz standard. If you have ax devices on the network, you might want to set up a second rule and place it before this one to catch them with ‘supported-bands=5ghz-ax’. But that probably makes more sense for ‘action=create-dynamic-enabled’ rather than for ‘action=create-enabled’.

You create a provisioning rule for ax devices and are complaining that it does not match non-ax devices? Works as designed.

Not sure. How should I create provisioning rule for non-ax devices? Isn’t this enough: supported-bands: 5ghz-ac ?

Oh, I see, I didn’t know it is AND-gated. I thought it was if match in the list. Works now, thank you.

Yes, I have several cAP AX and also wAP AC (arm) and for ax devices I select AX and for ac devices I select 5GHz-AC.
This mean you have to build different configuration and provision based on MAC address.

This was helpfull, thanks I got it also now. :slightly_smiling_face:
