Capsman in wifiwave2 don't provision correctly.

When I provision my radio interfaces to be managed by capsman Wi-Fi disappears from discovery. And inside in interfaces wifi1 and wifi2 showed as disabled.

You seem to be missing a rule to accept 127.0.0.1 in your firewall for input.

This router works as a switch and don't have firewall at all. As I understood I still need this rule for capsman?

Then why are there firewall rules in your config?

Edit: I see, only ipv6 rules.

Leave out ip address for capsmanager.

Re: Capsman in wifiwave2 don't provision correctly.

To rule out some issues ...
Can you set it like this:

/interface wifiwave2 cap
set discovery-interfaces=all enabled=yes

and

/interface wifiwave2 capsman
set enabled=yes interfaces=LAN

Does the log file show some messages related to caps or capsman ?

Your device is used as switch/access point ?
Then why is there a DHCP server and pool connected to bridge ?

You are certain those provisioning rules correspond to the radio MAC addresses (can be checked in Winbox/webfig via Wireless/Radios) ?

Question ...
If this is your only access point, why make your life so difficult and use capsman ?
But that doesn't change the fact it should work ... probably something stupid but I don't see it either.

1. Yes as switch/access point.
2. I want to unload the main hex router that has a firewall there and works as a main entry point.

4. I have one main router hex, it works as an entry point. and two AP, hap hex Lite (still shipping to me) and hap ax3. Ax3 is a powerful device, so I want DHCP and capsman locate there.

Re: Capsman in wifiwave2 don't provision correctly.  [SOLVED]

Sun Aug 06, 2023 7:07 pm

Hi, it has been discussed here multiple times. Capsman in wifiwave2 does not control/provision it's own wifi interfaces.
But you can use the same configuration, security,...and set up the WIFI interfaces manualy.
It will work correctly as soon as all settings are the same as passed to remote CAPs via provisioning.

Yeah, cause for me it's not an obvious thing, especially if video on youtube with old capsman tell that you need to enable cap on your device.

Did you already re-provision those radios with all latest changes ?
Go to tab radio, select radio and hit button "provision"

I am still experimenting, but as was said above, capsman works only on remote cap. On the remote cap, you need to manually set the manager to
capsman or local
. In that case, the remote cap will be managed by a capsman.

For an unfortunate update, I just checked with Mikrotik Support and they say capsman will still not manage the local interfaces. I asked if they plan on fixing that and haven't gotten a response yet.

Old capsman didn't really have roaming though, right? My assumption is that using capsman for remote caps and just provisioning the local interface is basically the same as old capsman because it's just configuring interfaces the same way. The drawback is that we wouldn't get to use the new roaming feature in wifiwave2.

Am I correct or are there other drawbacks to needing to configure things this way?

Wifiwave2 capsman roaming only works on radios controlled by the same ROS instance.
So remote caps radios and local radios on the controller are being controlled by the same instance.
Their roaming will work.

Strange, Mikrotik support said this:
Controller can not control local interfaces via CAPsMAN - yes, only remote cAP control is possible.
Local interfaces, will not be the part of cAP network, and will not participate in the roaming between the APs.

I didn't say the local radio is controlled by capsman because as it seems, that can not be done.
I said the roaming part will be covered across capsman radios AND local radios IF the local radio is part of the same device which acts as controller.
That's the same instance of ROS.

In the second sentence he literally says that the local interfaces will not participate in roaming. For context, I was asking about having 1 ax2 as the main router and having another ax2 being a cap.

That's fine though, roaming working across APs managed by the same instance of RouterOS is great news.


That being said, it seems like it doesn't matter at all that local interfaces can't be configured using capsman? i just need to tell the local interfaces to provision.

That's how it should work, yes.
And since capsman and wifiwave2 are so intertwined, the config for capsman is close to identical for a local interface.
Just make sure on tab ft (config, security, ...) these settings are active:
FT Enabled
FT over DS
