Hello, I have been struggling with the problem of access points falling asleep after a long time without clients connected for a long time.
Configuration quite simple "Using CAPsMAN Forwarding Mode". Everything seems to work properly where there are constantly connected clients, while the APs to which nothing is connected stop working for a few hours. ie they broadcast SSIDs, we can connect to them, but we will not get an IP address anymore. As if they fell from the bridge onto the capsman. After disabling and enabling the capsman interface, everything returns to normal.
Interestingly, after restarting the capsman interfaces, all these interfaces show up as dynamic in bridge> port, and that's correct. However, after a while, these dynamic ports disappear, and where clients are connected, everything still works. And if he wants to use an AP that no one was connected to, it does not work anymore, no IP because the interface is not in the bridge.
Work as design or a known problem?
