can the new capsman (router os 7.17) provision himself ?

With the new CAPSMAN (router os 7.17) it is possible provision the radio on the Host of the CAPSMAN ?

I have found inconsistent information in my researches.

thanks

From the documentation:

CAPsMAN cannot manage it’s own wifi interfaces using configuration.manager=capsman, it is enough to just set the same configuration profile on local interfaces manually as you would with provisioning rules, and the end result will be the same as if they were CAPs. That being said, it is also possible to provision local interfaces via /interface/wifi/radio menu, it should be noted that to regain control of local interfaces after provisioning, you will need to disable the matching provisioning rules and press “provision” again, which will return local interfaces to an unconfigured state.

95% of the config is the same.
I recently learned you can also provision a local radio making it even more common.

Since both capsman controller and local radio are then running on the same ROS instance, stuff like roaming etc. will work just fine.
