WifiWave2 CAPsMAN not configure interfaces on CAP clients

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

I`m use hap ax^2 as CAPsman server and cAP AX as client.

I see “managemed by CAPsman” on cAP wireless interfaces, but wireless network not exists in really.
If set configuration.manager to capsman WIreless on AX also be down, and haved status “managemed by CAPsman”.

I could be wrong but I think your problem is here:

/interface wifiwave2 provisioning
add action=create-dynamic-enabled disabled=no master-configuration="cfg2 ax" \
    name-format=2G-%I radio-mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 supported-bands=2ghz-ax
add action=create-dynamic-enabled disabled=no master-configuration="cfg5 ax" \
    name-format=2G-%I radio-mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 supported-bands=5ghz-ax

Remove those MAC addresses.
I know the instructions say this:

MAC address of radio to be matched, empty MAC (00:00:00:00:00:00) means match all MAC addresses

But empty is not the same as 00:00:00:00:00:00 for me.
In Winbox, use the upper arrow on the right of the field and click it, field will then become greyed and empty.

Can you try ?

Some changed - is see normal interface naming (applied from name-format option), but no SSID broadcasting exists from cAP ax.
I`m trying also reboot and reseting cAP.

For hap ax^2 interface renaming rule not applies, if set manager to capsman (or capsman-or-local), wireles the network goes down.

Any ideas?

Hey ThePanaceya,

I ran into the same issue that you had, there was a Caps-Interface for every radio that was connected but status of said interface stated “disabled”.

The issue was resolved for me when I did remove the variable for “manager” in /interface wifiwave2 configuration

As stated in the manual,

[…]on the CAP configuration.manager should only be set on the CAP device itself, don’t pass it to the CAP vai configuration profile that you provision.

So, if you change the configuration from

/interface wifiwave2 configuration
add channel="channel5GHz AX" country=Ukraine datapath=datapath1 \
    datapath.bridge=bridge disabled=no manager=capsman-or-local mode=ap name=\
    "cfg5 ax" security=Juniper_114 ssid=Juniper_114

to

/interface wifiwave2 configuration
add channel="channel5GHz AX" country=Ukraine datapath=datapath1 \
    datapath.bridge=bridge disabled=no mode=ap name=\
    "cfg5 ax" security=Juniper_114 ssid=Juniper_114

It might just work!

After changing removing the “manager” variable from capsman configuration its best to reprovision (or even better: restart) the caps.
