Can CAPSMAN provision each radio on wAP ACs differently with two generic provision rules?
Home/office situation with five wAP AC units; In general broadcasting the same SSIDs on both radios.
What I want is that the 2.4GHz radio to broadcast a third SSID for telephony, as I do not need this on 5GHz, and this managed by just one or two generic provisioning rules in CAPSMAN.
Using the radio MACs I can setup two provisioning rules that will work but only it one specific wAP; I would like to get just two simple 00:00:00:00:00 rules that will do the job for all wAP ACs.
Can that be done, and if yes, how? Or am I approaching this setup completely wrong?

Yes. It can.
CAPSMAN just aggregates all WiFi interfaces into one device.
You can make any assigments of SSIDs to them, do virtual SSIDs … just like with “real” interfaces.
Just found an excellent MUM presentation from Patrick Schaub that he once presented in Milan, with all the setup details I need (and much more tips).
Currently implementing multiple provisioning rules for what I want; first testing already shows that what I wanted is working!
I would highly recommend to download this presentation from the MUM Mikrotik site, but also watch the YouTube recording of that particular presentation.
Presentation can be found in the MUM Archive, Year 2017, Italy March 30 Milan > CAPsMANv2 by Patrick Schaub from FMS Germany. Don’t worry, presentation is given and written in excellent English.
