CAPsMAN virtual interface on bridge?

Fri Oct 23, 2020 8:52 pm

I am setting up my new Mikrotik Audience as my primary router and AP. By default, it handles the WiFi setup locally by CAPsMAN. Through CAPsMAN, I setup 2 virtual interfaces as slaves named "2ghz_Guest" and "2ghz_IoT". Since I want both of them to be on a different subnet, I set up a bridge for each of them, "bridge-guest" and "bridge-iot", as well as the required dhcp servers, pool, and addresses. The problem comes when I add the interfaces to the bridge no clients can connect. To get it to work, I had to add the dynamically created interface names to the bridge instead (for example "wlan4" and "wlan5". If I make any changes to the configuration though, the bridge is broken because the dynamic names change and are now something like "wlan10" and "wlan11".

I am pretty new to CAPsMAN and am wondering if the right thing to do is change the provisioning to "create-enabled" instead of "create dynamic enabled"? It seems like it should be as easy as just using the name in the configuration section but apparently is doesn't work that way. Thanks!

I may have found the answer here: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:C ... imitations:

under /interface wireless cap, set static-virtual to true. I will also provision with "create-enabled"
