Hello,
Looking for explicit answers to CAPSMAN configuration for ‘datapath’ config.
What is difference of ‘local forwarding’ and ‘client to client forwarding’? The information on articles all contradict themselves.
is client to client the same as ‘default forwarding’ on the ssid?
Also having issues with Apple iOS performance, very low. Computers are fine with 5Ghz…
Should I just have CAPSMAN auto-config the 2.4 & 5Ghz frequencies? How do I do this, just leave the Frequency option empty?
Further, confusion:
difference between “create dynamic enabled” and “create enabled”
The CAPS register, but I do ‘copy’ and then make the master & slave interface. The slave interface for each frequency I setup for the proper SSID and configuration. The master interface for said frequency, I only configure the frequency portion and leave all other empty. On the slaves I select the channel, datapath, and security list.
had an issue where I had the security tab configured with WPA, WPA2, AES and passphrase. But clients trying to connect to the SSID would get ‘incorrect password’. I didnt have Group update enabled, I’ve set to 51m (for iOS devices). Unsure if that fixed issue (yet).
Looking for more answers or if someone can post a working /capsman export with their config?
main vlan is PVID and untagged, other SSID’s are tagged. I specify the tag ports within datapath config for each SSID config. The bridge selected is the new bridged-vlan setup on the router.
little update:
Disabled Caps manager on router, then removed all the CAP interfaces. Originally when the cAPS joined they were in red, I went and created copies and manually named the interfaces based on 2ghz or 5ghz “xxAP-2Ghz” “xxAP-5Ghz”, and then copied again for the slave interface.
But after removing ALL the CAP interfaces, then re-enabling the CAPS manager.. BOOM - the AP’s joined and CAPsMan automatically provisioned the radios. Just assigned them Identity+number.
However, in configuration - i do not have the channel set, so the radios appear to be operating on ‘auto frequency’ 5Ghz is 5180 with exten channels on by default (great).
How would I specify higher frequency for the 5Ghz AP’s? Do I need to create separate configuration lists and then manually define the radio MAC address for provisioning and define said configuration list?
As with the configuration ‘create dynamic enabled’ I’m unable to modify any of the CAPS interface/radio settings. Would this be different with them being ‘create enable’ so they’re static?
Looking for tips
PS: Are the CAP AC’s just poor, and should we rather use the wAP AC model? As better AC1600 chip vs the AC1200, and allows for 3-HT chains…
CAP AC appears to have slow wireless speeds on iOS devices. Unsure if this is issue with the ARM drivers or wireless chipset AC1200 vs the AC1600.
I have a client about to send all these AP’s back… Perhaps theres TOO many configuration options?!.. makes want to just use Ubiq***… sigh. WTF, I’m losing patience and faith.
Do I enable both local forwarding && client to client?? Or just local forwarding?
Appears when I do not specify vlan in databath, client cannot pass traffic. primary SSID even - as its untagged and PVID’d on router. AP’ getting IP by default as its an untagged port, so I shouldnt need to specify ‘no tag’. Previously, when I only had ‘client to client’ enabled - i HAD to specify vlan tag + vlan ID
Also when having ‘client to client’ enabled, I’m not seeing AP interface traffic within CAPsMAN - is this now all localized to the AP?
