I have a problem accessing our new network via WiFi as I can not get an IP address. If I connect via cable it works OK.
The network has 2 CRS112 (no PoE) switches, one cAP ac and three wAP ac.
One of the switches is set up as CAPSman manager and DHCP server. The AP’s are OK with CAPSman and I can see the SSID in my computer.
I can also access all units via WinBox if I connect via cable.
When I try to connect via WiFi I can not get an IP address so there is no connection.
Have tried to bridge all ports or just vlan1&2 in the AP’s but no change. Also rebooted all units. Tried with and without IP in the AP’s. Same result.
There is no Internet connection from the network. Only local network.
Anyone have a clue why the AP’s do not pass the communication to the DHCP server? Really need to fix this.
Have attached exported files from the switch and one wAP.

Hi,
In the wap You need to add the ether1 port to the bridge bridge1
Also perhaps make discovery-interfaces include the bridge.
Thank’s for the quick reply.
Have tried but no success.
Also tested without CAPSman and then I got through to the DHCP server and can see and handle all units in WinBox when connected by WiFi
Seems to be a CAPSman issue
Did you make all of the suggested changes, also the wlan interfaces will be added automatically by CAPsMAN so should not be added manually:
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan2
/interface wireless cap
set bridge=bridge1 discovery-interfaces=ether1 enabled=yes interfaces=wlan1,wlan2
Yes, I think so.
CAP settings for the AP’s say discovery interface is ethernet1 and bridge1 holds all interfaces.
The AP’s connect to the CAPSman controller and get information that shows up in the interface list. SSID, frequence etc.
I see the SSID in other devices but do not get IP when I try to connect.
If I remove CAP from the AP’s and set up “normal” wireless interfaces and try to connect I get IP
OK. So I have reconfigured all units from scratch. Also reconnecting the hardware so it now is:
CRS112 - Switch1 with DHCP server and CAPSman controller. Fixed IP
CRS112 - Switch2 for pass through traffic only. Fixed IP
cAPac - Connected to Switch1. No IP, CAPSman client
wAPac - Connected to Switch2. No IP, CAPSman client
The SSID is visible in the network and the CAPSman client shows in the AP’s interface list fbut still no IP when trying to connect. Tried both secured and open options. No difference
If I remove the CAPSman client from one of the AP’s and set up a standard SSID I get IP and can manage the network units in WinBox
The CAPSman client connects to the manager if I have “Bridge” as discovery interface. Ethernet1 does not connect. Interfaces are wlan1&2
All ports are in the bridge.
Attached are the settings used now plus screenshot of settings in Switch1 and AP’s
