Wifi CAPsMAN with hotspot on Eth and Wifi on 7.13

Thu Jan 11, 2024 12:09 am

Hello Guys,

So...
I have multiple problems with a current project.
The project:
Offices that will be short-term leased, wifi and Ethernet Internet Accesibility Provided.
Set-up/Network Layout:
Mikrotik Router(x86 on a computer), 2 Ethernets(One for Wan and one for Lan)->
HP ProCurve Switch-24 port x 3(connected to each other)->Wall Plugs->Clients

On 3 wall plugs i am running 3 CAPs( CAP AX)

Everything is running RouterOs 7.13.

Logical Problems:
I want to isolate all clients between them, both ethernet and AP Clients.

Mikrotik Problems:

1) i cannnot get capsman forwarding to work( the option is not there and i only see traffic on CAPs winbox. Capsman Winbox keeps traffic at 0 at the interfaces created.)
2) Client Isolation on APs doesnt seem to work, whether i press it in the manager or in the CAPS.

Thank you and sorry if my structure is not good.
Hope some1 answers soon.

Seems like i will have to create as many Vlans as wall sockets. Which still leaves us on why doesnt Client Isolation work? Any help on this? is it because i cannot get CAPsMAN to manage the Traffic?

Since wave2 capsman does only support local forwarding (For now ? For ever ? Nobody knows ...).
So VLANs are the correct way to handle such cases for your isolation of sockets.

As for client to client isolation:
Check Datapath properties - Client isolation
Determines whether client devices connecting to this interface are (by default) isolated from others or not.
This policy can be overridden on a per-client basis using access list rules, so a an AP can have a mixture of isolated and non-isolated clients.
Traffic from an isolated client will not be forwarded to other clients and unicast traffic from a non-isolated client will not be forwarded to an isolated one.
Default: no

Ok great, sorry was not able to find that info that you just gave me... However since this is the situation, should client isolation be set on AP or on CAPsMAN? Or is it the same?

At the end it is the same but if you use capsman, my advice would be to set it there.
Much more clear for yourself what happens where then.
