RB3011+WAP+CAPsMAN > problems with 2.4GHz - disconnects
Posted: Thu May 17, 2018 10:55 am
Hello,
I have a simple setup with the RB3011 mostly in its default configuration. Attached to it is a WAP configured as CAP device.
Added one bridge for guest network, "bridge-guest".
There are configurations for CAPsMAN, one for the 2.4GHz and one for the 5GHz.
I can configure the 5GHz interface to connect to either bridge (defcon "bridge" and "bridge-guest"), that works OK.
However, the 2.4GHz cannot be configured to connect to the default "bridge". If I try this, the RB3011 logs:
"ether6-master: bridge port received packet with own address as source address (....), probably loop". The CAP is disconnected, the wireless networks go offline and after 10s there's a new attempt with the same result.
I did notice the following:
Is it possible that the loop is caused by conflicting addresses between remote-cap and radio-mac for cap6 (being the 2.4GHz)?
Not sure how/what to change to correct this properly. Seems to me like the default configuration should just work out of the box.
Thanks for any pointers!
