Now, I'd like to convert my caps-man configuration from /caps-man to /interface/wifi/cap I thought this was kind of a drop-and-replace stuff, and given my configurat...

Strange, I'm running ROS 6.49.2 and VLAN filtering seems to work.

Re: VLAN configuration & management access [SOLVED]

The only question I have at this point is are you going to use the RBs as routers or simply switches??? As routers: I have cAP ac plugged on them, and plan to extend the network a bit further. So, at some point, vlans won't be propagated everywhere anymore and RB4011 are likely to do some OSPF and ...

Indeed, this article is simply excellent.
I managed to migrate all my RB4011 & cAPs with very small interruption.
Now will work to migrate my core router the same way :)

When you have such a router (i.e. not one of the new home routers with 16MB flash), always partition the flash into 2 partitions so you can copy the working partition, then upgrade, and when you have issues like that you can switch to the other partition and have everything back untouched.

Re: "fcs error on link", every day

We also have "fcs error on link" on our CCR1009s sometimes, but on the Ether-ports. Not experiencing any packetloss or issues.
Thanks for your comment.
Actually, I don't see any error on ethernet ports, only sfp-sfpplus1 port is impacted.

First thing I notice is that the SFP's have different wavelengths...sure that will work? I'm sure: I use mono mode fiber, so I need to have different wavelengths. Both modules must be paired.

Here is the answer from Mikrotik support:
Hello,

DHCPv6 and DHCP-PD client options are planned. If everything goes as planned
that might even land in RouterOS 6.x branch.
