Hello Network People, Please Clarify this for me as I’m confused I searched too many times and can’t figure it out.
Assume a mikrotik capsman capable router exists with couple of caps.
caps are connected via a 3rd party non-mikrotik switch.
we would want two vlans for data paths for 2 ssids we want to distribute to the network.
Clients are required to see each other on the entire vlan, no isolation is needed.
Also If a new device gets attached to the switch connecting everything and sits on the access mode of that vlan, it must see others aswell.
Thank you for your guidance.
If no client separation is needed, then use local forwarding as it's much more resource effective. If properly configured, VLAN separation will be effective as expected.
can you give me an example? when I enable local forwarding clients no longer get ip addresses.
I made a bridge on every cap and capsman.
2 vlans must exist for 2 ssids.
Data path has vlan tagged
switch link to caps and capsman is trunk and vlans are created so switch is forwarding them.
at the end I want to setup hotspot aswell.
Did I make a mistake by creating 2 vlans on the capsman and assign those vlans to a bridge? cause before this the dhcp I made on the capsman wasnt working.
