For my purpose I bought "cAP 2n" AP and ("RB260GS" working in middleware but out of scope of this thread)
Currently I have only one CAP device (my "cAP 2n") but I am planning to buy more if my setup will satisfy me.
So I am using "RB2011UiAS" as CAPsMAN and "cAP 2n" as CAP device.
I have 2 vlan's in my network (vlan2 => LOCAL, vlan3 => GUEST).
Layer 1 setup provides trunk connection directly to ether1 port on CAP device.
I successfully connected CAP client to Manager over vlan2 so provisioning works well.
At this point I would like to provision 2 Virtual AP's (one connected to vlan2 and second connected to vlan3).
In my case I do not need to forward traffic through Manager so I would like to choose 'local-forward' mode.
At this point my problem began.
The only way (which I found) to provision interface with vlan tag is define tag in 'datapath' configuration but MT documentation says:
And it is true for me because this configuration does not work. Clients connected to my Virtual AP cannot establish any layer connection."Most of the datapath settings are used only when in manager forwarding mode, because in local forwarding mode CAPsMAN does not have control over data forwarding.
My CAPsMAN config:
