capsman, v6.41, 10 APs, 3 SSID

Sat Jan 27, 2018 10:13 pm

Hello,

I’m seeking help with capsman running on ccr-1016 v6.41and 10 dual band APs. I tried all different scenarios and searched internet/forums for a few days on this problem with no positive result. My delema is that from 3 SSID i can only use TWO and it doesn’t matter master or slave. So, after reboot or in the morning somebody connects to one of the ssid then somebody else connects to another ssid, after that nobody can connect to third ssid (log shows: capsman received deauth: unspecified (1)). I didn’t catch any correlation to AP or SSID, though I didn’t try to downgrade and didn’t try to duplicate the problem in sandbox.

caps-man configuration was done manually because provisioning only showed main, virtualAP wouldn’t populate no matter what I tried.
Also, in caps-man configuration I had to manualy select SSID, datapath and security (wouldn’t provision ether). To make it easier I made a script to pretty much copy/paste cap configuration 9 times. All 10 APs are RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD with CAP enabled on the first boot with no other settings.

Here is capsman configuration:

I have a feeling, I’m missing one check box somewhere :(
Thank you.

I spent a whole weekend trying to work out why I couldn't connect to one of my SSIDs until I found this post - THANK YOU GUYS!!
The clue was that, when I had two CAP interfaces up and running (master and virtual slave) the master wouldn't connect. When I disabled the virtual slave the master would then work..
I went to the slave CAP Interface and just changed the MAC Address field, hit apply - all fixed!

Here you have a basic configuration of CAPsMAN on my website.
Unfortunately not in English but follow the screenshots
I hope to have helped you with this
