RouterOS without CAPsMAN?

Fri Dec 13, 2024 6:27 pm

Hi

We have some Mikrotik Switches and would like to use CAPsMAN to manage the AP's - but, I can't find any option on the web gui from the switches and also not on the cli like a /caps-man command.
One of our Switch:
CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+
RouterOS 7.13.5
License level: 5

As I understand any device should be supported with these version of RouterOS and license level.

Thanks for any hint.
Ivo

In the release notes for 7.13.x:
Notice - Starting from RouterOS version 7.13, significant changes have been made to the RouterOS wireless packages. This is done due to a new product development which will require more disk space for hardware drivers so we had to split it in order to maintain old products alongside the new ones. More wireless packages are yet to come.
[cut]
2. Drivers for older wireless and 60GHz interfaces, as well as the wireless management system CAPsMAN, are now part of a separate "wireless" package instead of being a part of the bundle package. This package can be uninstalled if not needed.

All of the additional separate packages are downloadable from https://mikrotik.com/download/archive as a ZIP file named all_packages-<architecture>-<version>.zip - the architecture and version must match the main RouterOS package you are running.

It depends on what APs do you have. You failed to mention that...

I thought this thread was a request to remove capsman from ROS, for a second there I was jumping with joy. More room for cloudlfare zero trust tunnel as an options package.

Well - blame me...

I just walk thoughts old documentations.
So finally I found the option and how we have to configure CAPsMAN.

Thanks and sorry...
