Connecting multiple CAPs

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi

Here is the problem I have two offices and in the first one I have my main mikrotik router with CAPsMAN and 3 CAPs which work fine. But I have another office which is in another country and it is connected to the main mikrotik through VPN. I want to set access points in that office as CAPs, so my question is, do I have to first set secondary office main mikrotik as CAP or I can connect my AP mikrotiks directly to the main office mikrotik? Here is a sketch so you can see better.

No, you don’t need another CAPsMAN:

CAPSMAN could be one … it is “supervisor” for all CAPs but … remeber to use “local forwarding” not “capsman forwarding” to avoid traffic from clients of SO-APn go to main office and then back to secondary office if the source and destination are located in the secondary office.
