Capsman Master-Slave Configuration

Mon Nov 28, 2022 10:09 am

Hi all,

Hope you are doing well.

I have configured CapsMan in MikroTik Switch and AP with local forwarding mode and everything is working fine.

I changed the config to have Master-Slave setup and the following happened:

When I add a virtual WiFi interface to CAP in AP, the physical and virtual interfaces are immediately disabled, and the physical interface of AP disappears in CapsMan.

I checked the logs but no error messages were found.

I need your appreciated help, and thanks in advance.

Attached the config file of each part.

Virtual interfaces cannot be added to capsman.
/interface wireless cap
# stopped because not all interfaces available
# wlan3 is virtual

set bridge=AP-Bridge caps-man-addresses=10.10.239.1 discovery-interfaces=\
ether1 enabled=yes interfaces=wlan1,wlan3

If necessary, everything is configured in capsman

Hi Ca6ko,
Sorry for the late reply.

So if I want to do it, could you guide me kindly?

Thanks.

It's been a while since I used CAPsMAN: think you should do all the configuration on the manager site and not on the CAPs site.

You will create the additional configuration in CAPsAN to define your virtual interfaces, then from the provision sub-menu you will add the master config and you can also include one or more slave configuration.
In this way CAPsMAN will manage both interfaces, master, slaves and they will appear to your AP.

For more info, you can read here: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/CAPsMAN

This looks an awful lot like the issue I am having here

viewtopic.php?t=191623

I've ready through the linked CAPsMAN page several times but it is not helping me much. My slave interfaces won't come up and there must be something wrong in one of my configs (I am 100% GUI right now) but I've been through them numerous times and can't find anything obvious
