Hello everyone, what is the best way to name CAPs in CAPsMan? I would like them to be listed as AP1, AP2, etc. instead of “prefix identity” as shown in the following image. Any ideas? Thank you

I have:

  • set identity on the CAP
  • use %I in the Name Format (as part of the provisioning

From the documentation:

name-format (string)
Base string to use when constructing names of provisioned interfaces. Each new interface will be created by taking the base string and appending a number to the end of it, a number will only be appended if the string is not unique.

If included in the string, the character sequence %I will be replaced by the system identity of the cAP, %C will be replaced with the cAP’s TLS certificate’s Common Name, %R, or %r for lowercase, will be replaced with the CAP’s radio MAC

Default: “cap-wifi”

slave-name-format (string)
Base string to use when constructing names of virtual interfaces. Each new interface will be created by taking the base string and appending a number to the end of it, a number will only be appended if the string is not unique.

If included in the string, the chraracter sequence %v will be replaced with “virtual”, the chraracter sequence %m will be replaced with the name of master interface,if included in the string, the character sequence %I will be replaced by the system identity of the cAP, %C will be replaced with the cAP’s TLS certificate’s Common Name, %R, or %r for lowercase, will be replaced with the CAP’s radio MAC

Default: “master-interface-name-virtual”
