Hi everyone,
I am looking for solution of running Capsman config on local wlan interfaces using wifi-qcom-ac and VLAN.
Have anyone succeed in setting up such scenerio?
My network:
2 WiFi SSID on separated VLAN 7 and 8
Capsman is advertising on third management VLAN 88
HaP AC2 with wifi-qcom-ac 7.14.2 running new Capsman and having local wlan interfaces
WAP with wifi-qcom-ac 7.14.2 as remote CAP
I set it up according to help webpage
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-CAPusing"wifi-qcom-ac"package:
Remote CAP is working fine. VLAN are working as expected.
I set up local wifi interfaces with VLAN tagging on HaP as for standard CAP.
When CAP is enabled on HaP it shows ‘no connection to CAP’
I have a standard rule in Firewall to allow Capsman trafic on input chain to 127.0.0.01
I tried using provisioning on local radio as in post: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/capsman-ros-7-13-x-issues-with-adding-local-wifi-interface/172704/1
The outcome is that new wifi interfaces are created bridge. They are assigned to VLAN 1. Previous interfaces on bridge set for VLAN 7 and 8 looses settings. SSID is set up correctly.
I also tried to use manually same settings on local interfaces as set up for provisioning. VLAN are preserved and SSID is correct but Fast transition seems not to work. I understand that FT is a main benefit here.
Any ideas how to get it working?
Kind regards,
Michal
I managed to solve the issue.
For local interfaces wifi-qcom-ac on the MT where you run Capsman2 with VLANS:
- set up interfaces (main and secondary) with vlan tag in Interface menu
- add local wifi interfaces to vlan rules on the bridge
a and b settings are simillar to section ‘CAP using “wifi-qcom-ac” package’ in https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi#WiFi-CAPusing"wifi-qcom-ac"package:
the only difference is that you do not set option configuration.manager=capsman on local interface
- do not provision config on local radio nor set local radio as controlled by capsman. do not enable CAP on local radio. (provisioning on local radio would remove your interfaces and vlan settings from point a and b.)
- in WIFI menu set up previously defined configurations which you normally use in capsman configuration
When FT is enabled in the configuration which you use for cap and local radios - roaming should work.
A note from help turns to be true 
For a client device to successfully roam between 2 APs, the APs need to be managed by the > same instance of RouterOS> .
To check FT works:
- go to /system/logging and add a rule for topic: wireless
- you can temporarily disable all rules beside wireless
- see logs. you should get something similar to:
00:00:00:MAC@wifi1 roamed to 00:00:00:MAC@CAP-2g-, signal strength -73

Hello,
I’m trying to set up capsman with VLAN as well.
Would you mind sharing your working configuraion.
The steps you mentioned make sense but im just a rookie and i will understand it better if i see a working configuration.
Thanks
