Central CAPsMAN with multiple sites with LOCAL networks

RouterOS Wireless Networking

All,
I’ve got several CAPsMAN setups going, and all works quite well.
I need to however get a new setup going which has multiple LOCAL networks that we don’t want to send all traffic back to the central CAPsMAN.

  • CAPsMAN at central site
  • Multiple sites with multiple WAP’s at each site
  • Multiple SSID’s / VAP’s at each location, bridged to different central networks
  • Require multiple LOCAL networks too
  • Each site requires multiple LOCAL networks
  • Have to AVOID LOCAL networks being tunneled back to CAPsMAN only to come back!

Any thoughts on how to configure this?
Thanks all!

That should be as simple as checking “Local forwarding” on the capsman configurations that should be local (Local-LAN and Local_Guest).

Yeah, but to what? What does that local forward option forward to?
I currently have all my WAP’s (CAPs) setup with a local-forward option, which basically bridges to the local LAN brdige.

Normally that would be fine, but in this instance I need multiple local networks.

I can can get a VLAN to each of the WAP’s, but the question really is, how to tell each particular VAP (SSID), to bridge a particular VLAN at each WAP?

Thanks again.

Have you tried the VLAN settings on each SSID configuration?
