Hey folks, I am new at Mikrotik but have decades of experience in networking. I got my first Mikrotik a HAP AC3 and punched through my first configuration. It took a bit of figuring out but I finally got it going with a bit of a complex config like this :
Multiple Subnets / bridges for :
- trusted wired
- trusted wifi
- kids wifi
- IOT wifi
- Guest wifi
I got that all hammered out with firewall rules between subnets and all working great!
Next I went on to look into CAPsMAN because I also have an access point that I want to centrally configure, and once I get that one done I will buy a 2nd AP to hang off the HAP AC3 as well.
So first step is just getting CAPsMAN managing the local AP on the HAP AC3, but I can't get anything other than the master SSID coming up. There don't seem to be a lot of examples on anything but basic setups.
Oh I should mention I am a GUI guy right now and looking for help with the GUI.
Went into the wireless settings and turned on CAP just for the main 5Ghz radio because I still need to be able to connect with my 2.4Ghz connection because it is not convenient to hard wire to it. This much is working well all my SSIDs end in either 5 or 24 and only turning the 5Ghz over to CAPsMAN seems to work fine.
In my master config I set a config name, SSID, Mode=ap, Band=5Ghz-a/n/ac, specific bridge selected. I have a similar config for slave.
Provisioning I do "Action: create dynamic enabled" and my master config file, and name format "cap"
In the slave I do the same and select the same master config file as well as my slave config file.
I click on the "Radio" tab then "Provsion" but only the master interface comes up and there are no entries at all in the log.
I think I've given all the details required but let me know if I have missed something.
thanks.
