Problem bringing up AP from CAPsMAN

Thu Nov 03, 2022 10:42 pm

I have a RB450Gx4 router board running 6.49.6, and a RBwsAP-5Hac2nD access point running 6.47.9 which I’m trying to configure to replace my existing home network. The router board will be the firewall and provide the PPP connection to my ISP, and the AP will be one of a few access points around the house. This is currently just a minimal config to try and get things up and running, but I seemed to have failed already :)

I’ve configured this using a video I found on the web. There are no wireless interfaces on the router board, but the AP seemed to join the CAPsMAN on the router just fine, but it’s not actually configured.

I’ve configured up the wireless - set a configuration configuration in CAPsMAN and provisioned this to the radios on the AP - this appears to have (partly) worked, but the AP is still disabled and the configuration is incorrect.

At the bottom is the full config for the two devices, but I think the following bit in the AP is of most interest -:
# managed by CAPsMAN
# channel: 2462/20/b(28dBm), SSID: Home, CAPsMAN forwarding
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] ssid=MikroTik
# managed by CAPsMAN
# channel: 5180/20-Ceee/ac(20dBm), SSID: Home, CAPsMAN forwarding
set [ find default-name=wlan2 ] ssid=MikroTik
As can be seen, the SSID is set to Mikrotik, and this cannot be changed since it states it is being managed by CAPsMAN - the comment above this has the correct SSID, so clearly CAPsMAN has configured part of the configuration, but seemingly not the "actual" configuration.

I’m trying to work out what I’ve set incorrectly here and why the AP isn’t coming online. Can anyone provide any pointers on this.

Thanks.
