hi
is it possible to add APs identity (/system identity print) as a new SSID ? Can this be done with CAPS-MAN provisioning ?
so one can easily find AP position and you don’t know the cabling in a VERY large building… O:-)
But do you want each SSID to be different?
Just to tell apart the AP devices, capsman can simply name them automatically. Provisioning rules allow this:
APs (CAPs) already have their names/identities, but i want to “locate” them w/o following the UTP cable…
i want each AP to have their own SSID (added to the ones that he already has configured via caps-man)
something like:
$SSID=/system print name
/caps-man config add channel= … ssid=$SSID
what happens if i add new /caps-man configuration line, but i don’t supply “ssid=” ? What will be used or will it just print out an error ?
if i don’t supply “ssid=…” then that network “shows up” as status = hidden.
not what i wanted.
any other way that can be used with caps-man and with 100+ APs ? 
Assign the name of CAP interface as ssid for exact distinguish each device.
When created, if someone as set that, the cap name include what are writed on remote system identity
WARNING: Make backup before…
/caps-man interface
:foreach idx in=[find] do={
set configuration.ssid=[get $idx name]
}
For assign a name (to cap interface, not ssid) based on remote device system identity,
on provisioning the name format must contain identity (better if prefix identity with literally “cap” without quotes as prefix)
cant make identity-regexp & common-name-regexp working
open your topic
so from "one liner" in cap-man provisioning/config i am going to have 100+ lines ? one for each individual AP ? :-/
I would need something like an option "lighthouse" for each AP - enable ssid with no actual data/bridge, just to "see" it's ssid/identity via wireless.
You know how cap work?
One entry for each CAP on /caps-man interface.
The script assign to eac already existent /caps-man interface entry the MAC address for SSID for exact distinguisch the device.
Does not seem to work on "dynamic create enabled".
is should probably switch to "create enabled".
