[SOLVED] CAPsMAN: Datapath VLAN assignment on Slave/VirtualAP possible?

emuell · Sat Feb 21, 2015 12:11 pm

Hi @ All!

Please consider following setup: I have 2 AP's (AP1/AP2) controlled by CAPsMAN which is installed on router1. Router1 has 2 VLAN's (private/public) which are in trunk port to AP1 and AP2. Now i will provision (over CAPsMAN) on both AP's two separeted WLAN's in local-forwarding mode, one for private and one for public.
So i create on both AP's a brdige where trunk-ethernet-port is member and configure CAP to the same bridge. On CAPsMAN in Datapath section i create 2 profiles with corresbonding VLAN-ID for private (Master-Interface) and public (Slave/VirtualAP) and assign it to both AP's.

After that, wireless connection will only work to private-network but not to public-network. If i change the datapath-profiles, public to Master-Interface and private to Slave/VirtualAP, public is working and private failed.

So it looks like that datapath VLAN assignment will only work for Master-Interfaces but not for Virtual-AP's!

Can anyone confirm that and if it is so, how can i get my setup (with CAPsMAN!) to work?

Thanks!

Nobody has an idea ?
In CAPsMAN wiki there are no more infomations about datapath.vlan tag on slave/virtual ap interfaces. Should this work ?

Please help!

When you look at your bridge member ports, are both physical and virtual WLAN interfaces present?

Thx for your reply.
Yes, there are both wlan Interfaces member of the bridge, but VLAN Tag seems to work only on Master Interface !?

where are the mikrotik guy's ?

PLEASE, i only need a short statement if datapath.vlan-options should work for virtual ap interfaces or how i can manage two separted wireless-network interfaces through CAPsMAN in local-forwarding-mode?

i would'nt ask this question if i find anything in the wiki or WWW - so this is my last option to get on.

THX!!

Yes, it should work, I have identical setup working - 2 routers, 3 VLANs, 3 SSIDs, trunk in between the routers and CAPsMAN 2. Can you paste or send me your configuration output on PM?

Thats good news!

ether1-master-local is the trunk-port which includes tagged VLAN's 25 & 66.

Thank you for your support!!

We do seem to have identical configuration:

Just to be sure:
- ether1 is really the master port in switch group?
- you have identical problem on both routers?

Both -> Yes!

Which CAP to CAPsMAN connection type do you use ? Layer 2 or Layer 3 (IP) and if L3, do you use one of the two VLAN's for connection?

NetworkMeister · Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:30 pm

I use L2 through VLAN 10. It does seem to me your CAP -> CAPsMAN link is OK, as you have both dynamic wlan interfaces provisioned and bridged on CAP, and that is done by CAPsMAN.

emuell · Mon Apr 27, 2015 1:18 pm

In the meanwhile i got it work.
I use switch-chip feature for VLAN-Tagging and forgot to assign both VLAN's to switch_cpu "port".

Now everything works fine.

Thx for your assistance!

I've read your configuration export, but, could you please teach me how to do it ?

I'm not aware about what needs to be done on CAP to have this cenario:

6 CAPs (one of them being the CAPsMAN)

Every CAP are connected to a switch, and all CAPs ports on Switch are tagged on two vlans.

What I need to do is:
Be able to control all CAPs with CAPsMAN (this step I think is done because they are visible at CAPsMAN page)
Two SSIDs per CAP, one for Administration Network and one for Guest
Two VLANS (VID 1000 for Administration and VID 3000 for Guest)

How to be able to connect to Guest network and be tagged to VID 3000 ?
And How to be able to connect to Administration Network and be tagged to VID 1000 ?

I have a DHCP server behind a pfSense which is a part of both VLANs but is not delivering any address to hosts. So, no comunication.

Equipments are all RBcap2n

Please, help! Thanks
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are here and reading this post, I did resolve this by adding those vlans to a bridge.
Not adding vlan inside a bridge, but creating a vlan with bridge as interface.

/interface vlan add name=XXXX vlan-id=1234 interface=bridge

That will do the job.

I'm looking to do the same thing, any chance you could share a print of this config?
