CAP provisioned but no SSID active

Hello,

im currently trying to get a Mikrotik based WLAN set up to run but I fail to see the SSID I provision to the CAP. I Hope you can point me to my mistake.

The CAPSMAN runs on a Hex (RB750Gr3) running routerOS version 6.43.8. I only want to use the Hex as the CAPs Manager since I already have a pfSense doing the routing and interconnect between VLANs.
Here is my current setup:
I added a bridge and bound it to ether5 with VLAN 10 und 20 (VLAN 10 as the CAPs Management VLAN and VLAN 20 for the WLAN Traffic)

/interface bridge
add name=bridge_wlan
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge_wlan interface=ether5
/interface bridge vlan
add bridge=bridge_wlan tagged=ether5,bridge_wlan,vlan10 vlan-ids=10
add bridge=bridge_wlan tagged=bridge_wlan,ether5,vlan20 vlan-ids=20

/interface vlan
add interface=bridge_wlan name=vlan10 vlan-id=10
add interface=bridge_wlan name=vlan20 vlan-id=20

/caps-man manager interface
set [ find default=yes ] forbid=yes
add disabled=no interface=bridge_wlan

ether5 is connected to a port an a Cisco SG200 Switch with the following config

interface gigabitethernet3
 description CAPS-Manager
 storm-control broadcast enable
 storm-control include-multicast unknown-unicast
 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20
 switchport trunk native vlan 10

The CAP is a CAP ac (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD) it is connected to a port on the same Cisco SG200 with the following config:

interface gigabitethernet1
 description "CAP EG"
 storm-control broadcast enable
 storm-control include-multicast unknown-unicast
 switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20
 switchport trunk native vlan 10
 power inline powered-device CAP-EG
 power inline priority high

And I added it by the “hold the reset button for 10 seconds” to the CAPSMAN on the Hex.

/caps-man remote-cap print detail 
 0 state="Run" name="[XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:13]" radios=2 address=YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:7E/40992 board="RBcAPGi-5acD2nD" serial="XXXXXXXXX" base-mac="XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:13" version="6.43.8" identity="CAP EG"

And I added a configuration and provision for a 2.4GHz and 5Ghz WLAN SSID

/caps-man configuration
add channel.band=5ghz-a/n/ac country=germany datapath.local-forwarding=yes datapath.vlan-id=20 datapath.vlan-mode=use-tag mode=ap name=TestWLAN5G security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk \
    security.encryption=aes-ccm security.group-encryption=aes-ccm security.passphrase=1234567890 ssid=TestWLAN5G
add channel.band=2ghz-b/g/n country=germany datapath.local-forwarding=yes datapath.vlan-id=20 datapath.vlan-mode=use-tag mode=ap name=TestWLAN2G security.authentication-types=wpa2-psk \
    security.encryption=aes-ccm security.group-encryption=aes-ccm security.passphrase=1234567890 ssid=TestWLAN2G
 
 /caps-man provisioning
add action=create-dynamic-enabled master-configuration=TestWLAN5G slave-configurations=TestWLAN2G

If I provision the CAP with /caps-man remote-cap provision 0 I see an entry in /log print

21:14:19 caps,info cap5: selected channel 2412/20-Ce/gn(30dBm) 
21:14:20 caps,info cap6: selected channel 5785/20-eeCe/ac(30dBm)

And I see the following in /caps-man interface

/caps-man interface print detail 
Flags: M - master, D - dynamic, B - bound, X - disabled, I - inactive, R - running 
 0 M B  name="cap5" mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:80 arp-timeout=auto radio-mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:80 master-interface=none radio-name="XXXXXXXXXX80" l2mtu=1600 current-state="running-ap" 
        current-channel="2412/20-Ce/gn(30dBm)" current-rate-set="CCK:1-11 OFDM:6-54 BW:1x-2x SGI:1x-2x HT:0-15" current-basic-rate-set="CCK:1-11" current-registered-clients=0 
        current-authorized-clients=0 

 1 M B  name="cap6" mac-address=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:81 arp-timeout=auto radio-mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:81 master-interface=none radio-name="XXXXXXXXXX81" l2mtu=1600 current-state="running-ap" 
        current-channel="5785/20-eeCe/ac(30dBm)" current-rate-set="OFDM:6-54 BW:1x-4x SGI:1x-4x HT:0-15 VHTMCS:SS1=0-9,SS2=0-9" current-basic-rate-set="OFDM:6" current-registered-clients=0 
        current-authorized-clients=0

But I don’t see the SSIDs.

Did I miss something? How do I get the flag “running” to the interfaces?

Thanks

Hi,

Looks like something was borked with the CAP config. Reseting the CAP, removing it and all interfaces in CAPSMAN and readding it to CAPSMAN solved the issue.
