Can't access admin console (Web and Winbox) via IP after switching to CAP

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

Maybe I searched the wrong keywords but I could not find a similar issue in the forums. I run a RB4011 as a router in my network and recently added a hAP ac2 as an additional AP using CAPsMAN which works fine. Unfortunately, after setting the hAP ac2 in bridge mode or CAP I cannot access the admin interface via web nor Winbox although it gets a proper IP using DHCP. The only way to connect the device at the moment is using MAC Telnet.

The current configuration (created by resetting the device to CAP mode by pressing the reset button another 10 seconds) is as following:

# may/01/2019 16:20:42 by RouterOS 6.44.3
# software id = yes
#
# model = RBD52G-5HacD2HnD
# serial number = yes
/interface bridge
add admin-mac=an:on:ym:iz:ed:xx auto-mac=no comment=defconf name=bridgeLocal
/interface wireless
# managed by CAPsMAN
# channel: 2452/20-Ce/gn(20dBm), SSID: mySSID, CAPsMAN forwarding
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] ssid=MikroTik
# managed by CAPsMAN
# channel: 5180/20-Ceee/ac(23dBm), SSID: mySSID, CAPsMAN forwarding
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] ssid=MikroTik
/interface wireless security-profiles
set [ find default=yes ] supplicant-identity=MikroTik
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridgeLocal comment=defconf interface=ether1
add bridge=bridgeLocal comment=defconf interface=ether2
add bridge=bridgeLocal comment=defconf interface=ether3
add bridge=bridgeLocal comment=defconf interface=ether4
add bridge=bridgeLocal comment=defconf interface=ether5
/interface wireless cap
# 
set bridge=bridgeLocal discovery-interfaces=bridgeLocal enabled=yes interfaces=wlan1,wlan2
/ip dhcp-client
add comment=defconf dhcp-options=hostname,clientid disabled=no interface=bridgeLocal
/system clock
set time-zone-name=Europe/Zurich

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Shoe

Is your Cap client traffic bridged or tunnelled? If tunneled you Might not be able to access cap from wireless interface.

Either way I recommend using romon in those situations

Hi cieplik206,

Cap traffic is bridged. I am directly connected via Ethernet to the hAP ac2 and still cannot access the web interface. I will give romon a try but I still would like to understand why the web interface and Winbox are not working.

That’s weird.

Paste your config here, maybe I can spot something

Sorry for the late response, I just realized that I did not activate notifications on replies by default.

Is the config (of my hAP ac2) in my first post what you are asking for or do you need a different config to look at?

It’s incredibly embarrassing, but the mistake was that I was trying to access the device with a wrong IP address all the time. :unamused:
