So now we probably know what will be announced during MUM .
Looks very promising.

Regards,

Yes!!!!
I'll test it...

It is already mentioned in other thread here... But anyway I am really looking forward.

Is it already available?
Where can I download it?

I would love to but I can't get excited. Its basically a year after the posted "Wireless Controller".

If MT could really come to the party with this, then I could finally stop buying UNIFI

Yes!!!!
I'll test it...

@ ssofet Where can I download it?

I haven't been able to get ahold of it yet, but I am very anxious to see it!

Anyone got the beta yet?

I thought someone said that they announced it would be available in a few days with a full release in a few weeks?

+1 We wait for CAPs.
Please add beta to pre-release download page

Where can we get a beta version of this?

Where can we get a beta version of this?

That's what we all want to know but it apparently hasn't been released yet.

At the MUM all screenshots showed 6.11RC1, however, our advanced release of the 6.11 DIDNT include it. I last checked when at the MUM, so it may of made it into the beta now.

Just installed it to check and it's not there.

Nowbody can give the link to the download page?

Just installed it to check and it's not there.

try in terminal /caps-manager

Will do. I only looked in winbox.

try in terminal /caps-manager

Not there.

as you saw from screenshots, it will be available in the winbox and CLI from the first day it is available for a broader public. It is not yet available on download page while 6.11rc1 builds are available.

You have to add it as a package. It's in the download section.

Where are the CAP's manager now?

Can be downloaded as separate package.

HTH,

Yeah, you're pretty damn right. Even that we still don't have dual-band access points for office, not to mention missing 802.11ac.

OK, so now that it is available, how do we implement redundant Caps Manager's ?

They are already redundant. CAPs will connect to the first one that's available.

Did you install the Wireless-FP package, and enable CAPsMAN in your network?

It is not yet clear how to use the Cap manager.
A worked example would be welcome.

1. Choose any kind of router in your network, who will manage your APs. It can be a device without Wireless, doesn't matter
2. Upgrade this to v6.11 and install Wireless-FP package. You now have a separate CAPsMAN menu
3. Upgrade your AP devices also
4. Enable CAPsMAN in the manager device, and enable CAP in the AP device.
5. You can now configure the device wireless settings from the manager, full manual here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CAPsMAN

You can use CAPsMAN just to configure wireless settings, or you can also use it to manage all traffic (it will be forwarded through CAPsMAN device in this case). You can configure CAPsMAN to CAP security via Certificates if you want. There are many possibilities.

finally done it, Certificate problem.
except u need to upgrade wiki info there are ton of new options

Seems that CAPS is not so easy to use as I thought.

My (laboratory) situation: RB2011 as caps manager. GrooveA2hn as caps radio device.

Groove connected to caps manager, it is indicated on both sides correctly. CAP1 interface added. Enabled, status Master, Bound, Inactive.

Displayed error: Channel band not configured. Which is correct. So I go to channel tab to see what is possible to configure. And there is nothing. Clicking around and I see that all value lists have to be configured manually. O-oh... Why??

Why caps manager cannot have the same configuration options that are available on the radio when directly configured locally within the device? I mean - all the channel values and so? And why it is possible to tick the three chains even the Groove has only one chain?

How can I be sure I am setting things correctly, if there is not possible to select values from drop-down menus?

Where are things like WMM, gain regulation and so?

I really expected that all possible values could be gathered from each caps connected device - but no, it is not available.

I am very disappointed. I do not see any real possibility to take over the control of the radios in the network by caps manager, as it does not provide necessary settings possibilities.

Ok, I can consider it as prototype - but please, make it working in the same simple way like direct radio configuration. Until that I see it as unusable.

It is currently considered a public beta, which is mentioned on the webpage. It provides a demo of the functionality. Some settings can't be configured yet.

Ok, understand. Hope beta2 will contain all necessary functions. And, what about seamless roaming? Is this going to be also implemented in CAPS or not?

Roaming is NO1 thing which controller needs to provide. Without that it's pointless.

What about dynamic channel selection, I have created a configuration profile, but each time I add it to an access point, it takes the same channel and I cannot find dynamic channel or auto channel at any place.

So from what I've tested sorry for my ignorance I know its still beta but
1. If lets say Omnitik is set as Cap and for some reason lose connection with cap-manager all wlan seatings are going back to default - clients connected to this omnitik normally will lose connection
in case of 50 Ap station controlet by cap-manager this will be disaster

2. when wlan on unit is set to be contorted by cap-manager automatically wlan interface is disabled, than in bridge ports wlan will be set as disabled port thus (if wlan1 and ether1 are set in bridge1) u will lose connection with ether1 port from wlan side.

Auto channel is not yet supported

Thats not true. For you it may be pointless, for me, being able to set the SSID across 400+APs is a huge benefit. Of course, I still want the roaming feature too, but every step is a step in the right direction.

Tested CAPsMAN last night on RB2011 and one RB411UAHL. Everything worked but Apple devices couldn't connect (or had disconnects from time to time) to wlan interface managed by CAPsMAN.

Apple devices have had issues with mikrotik hotspots to

What kind of issues? we have a lot of apple devices here, works fine. Did you report it to support? Maybe some specific version of the iOS or something else.

Is it the caps able to run multiple VLAN dan VAP ?

Apple devices have had issues with mikrotik hotspots to

Yeah, I'm experienced also. My Iphone 4S using IOS 7.0.6 become unstable for wireless connection.
Playing video on youtube also makes wireless connection drop.

I have setup three APs in a CAPsMAN/CAPs test configuration

How does one disable the 'default authenticate' in order to apply the access list ?

I have the same problem ... I run a site with 8 APs and would like to use nonoverlaping channels, is there a way to set different channels via CAPsMAN for every AP so I can minimize frequency overlaping in the building? Also I did not see any WDS controls in CAPsMAN yet ....

Keep up the good work ...

Based on email I received from mikrotik support, he didn't mention that.
He only mentioned that it'll automatically override, but I don't know how to make sure it, he also didn't explained that.

Its still unclear documentation in wiki.

Is it possible to make some kind of access point groups?

For example, if I run 10 access points I would like to run hotspot ssid on first 4, office ssid on last 3 and staff ssid on all of them. I cant seem to find a way to do this with CAPsMAN.

AFAIK, In Motorola Wireless Controller RF series and ARUBA Wireless Controller with the latest version I tried (around year 2011) we should define first which AP (Access Port) would run hotspot and etc, you can not run as is.

I run hotspot on central router, I use SSID named "hotspot" on 4 APs (seperate vlan, no wpa) so it is basicly a normal AP setup for wireless controler.

Try adding a reject rule in the access list after your accept rules:
/caps-man access-list add action=reject mac-address-mask=00:00:00:00:00:00

One thing is SSID broadcasting, and another is what you get over it. Sure you make multiple configurations in CAPsMAN and put them on different CAPs. That would make what you want. But then you need to make somehow (over vlan or something) that hotspot 1 is accesible from first and hotspot server 2 from second group. You decide on which interface hotspot will run and which ip will be using.

A few questions for developers:

1) are you planning to make certifications, or any other compability with WiFi Passpoint?

2) In the documentation you mention about "interworking". I do not see any options in real package. What options are you planning to put there?

3) Can you add an option for configuring tx-power?

I try to test CAPsMAN
For this I used RB951G-2HnD like CAP manager and AP and RB951Ui-2HnD like AP.

Where mistake?

Hi Brazd

Yep, I noticed the same thing this morning with a 751 as CAPsMAN
and 2.4GHz APs but I thought it might be linked to my settings
since the 5GHz AP seems to be working fine
Could this be more a 6.11 rather than a CAPsMAN issue ?

Hello,
I'm trying this new function,
for the this lab I have 433 (cap), and 450G(capMAN)
but I cant figure out how to make it to work.
the management is working i can set up ssid, channel, etc via the capsman, but i cant make pass data over the link using vlans
they will be directly connected via eth2(433) and eht5(450G)
and will be different ssid with different address
thanks for any help

Brazd,

I imported the configuration from your routers to such routers here locally and the CAP connection is ok - not disconnecting.
The CAP and the CAPsMAN is connected via ether2 using patch cable.

Is the disconnecting happening when you connect some clients?

raffav,

how do you have the CAP and CAPsMAN connected and which interface isn't working for you - how did you configure the vlans?

What about dynamic channel selection, I have created a configuration profile, but each time I add it to an access point, it takes the same channel and I cannot find dynamic channel or auto channel at any place.

JF.

Auto channel optimization for a group of APs is planned.
What kind of WDS control you wanted?

JF.

This feature is planned.

does anyone know is it real to implement load balancing based on this one?

raffav,

how do you have the CAP and CAPsMAN connected and which interface isn't working for you - how did you configure the vlans?

They are directly connected eth3 (433) and eth5(450G) ip between both was set 172.17.99.0/30

I don't have idea how to start ,only thing I set up was the enable caps on both device and creates the basic settings profile on caps already show in red managed by capsman forwding show ip the ssid, chancel., and band

So for now I haven't created no vlan

SO when is nstream support planned? Seems like without this CAP's use is limited to hotspot type intergration

Tested CAPsMAN last night on RB2011 and one RB411UAHL. Everything worked but Apple devices couldn't connect (or had disconnects from time to time) to wlan interface managed by CAPsMAN.

We have tested with Apple devices and it works fine.
Please tell us more what Apple device you used and what IOS version it uses?
What kind of CAPsMAN configuration you have? Are you using full forwarding to CAPsMAN or local forwarding?

I think Mikrotik CAPs Manager should deliver the following basic features:

- Seamless interoperability; Rooming clients can move inside the WiFi area without any cut of the service.
- Real-time Auto capacity channel selection; the controller always scans for the best channel that is able to deliver the greatest throughout to the client.
- Real-Time Dynamic power tuning of each access point; The controller manages the power of each access point, and tunes it to deliver the best signal to the user taking care to creating minimum interference with the other installed access points.
- Client access load balancing; the controller decides which access point a client should connect to, it doesn't depend only on the signal but also how much each access point is occupied.

Brazd,

No, without clients.
In my test configuration CAPsMan linked with main network over Ether2 and over Ether3 linked with Ether2 of CAP.
Of course, in my network can walking any deamons packets...
In this holydays i want to try configuration with 2 mikrotiks and laptop, without main network... But... on MUM all very good worked
But it was your routers

On MUM was CAPsMAN 6.11beta and all worked...
Dont know... And i tested only 2.4 devices

I don't know about u all sorry for been skeptic, Ive been hire for some time and really enjoy MT innovation and work
But this CAPsMAN future (I love the idea) but I don't really get it - centralization of wireless network management in big enterprise network will not make things more simple
Somehow I m afraid to implement it in my network - there are still some issues to be fixed like I hate when wlan get stuck - how can CAPsMAn help hire?

Just one thought, if 100 units are contorted by CAPsMAN and for some reason something goes wrong with CAPsMAN this will bring total chaos to network

Where is "interworking" menu?

is it has 802.11u, hotspot2.0 setup menu?

or not ready? or no need to exist?

Hi Normis,

In wiki still mention internetworking


In my MikroTik using 6.12 RC1, i can't find it

I have configured CAPsMan with the CAP and the CAPs Manager connected directly via UTP cable. The CAPsMan is configured to process data (forward mode). I configure a bridge attached to the datapath, a DHCP server is configured on the bridge. The IP lease to client is a private IP so I configured a nat (ip firewall nat chain=src-address=192.168.21.0/24 action=masquerade). So that they can get to the Internet. Everything thing works and its been running for close to a week now.

However I tried a different topology and replace the cable between the CAP and the CAPs Manager with a wireless link. The CAP is registered on the CAPs Manager and the client can get to the bridge, but they can't get to the Internet. Is this option not possible or is there anything am doing wrong.

Please tell us more what Apple device you used and what IOS version it uses?

I don't know anything about client device. i've tested CAPsMAN on hotel wireless system in the middle of the night .

The controller manages the power of each access point, and tunes it to deliver the best signal to the user taking care to creating minimum interference with the other installed access points.

I couldn't agree more. Mikrotik should really pay attention to things like that, and this is their big chance to get into enterprise wireless with aruba, ruckus, cisco...

Problem with the Apple IOS devices will be fixed in RouterOS v6.13.
You can contact the support@mikrotik.com to get the development version of v6.13 to test it out.

I have a similar setup with the same problems, in non local forwarding mode, the clients get to the capsman bridge but not any further(-ish). They can use some services though, like ping, google earth (android), TuneIn radio (android).
I can't even access the capsman router itself via it's different IP adresses, but that might be because Client to Client forwarding is disabled?

One other thing which drove me nuts was that it refuses to connect via IP only (not layer 2). I could only get it passed "State: DataCheck" if I added a EoIP tunnel for the cap to use instead.
Have I misunderstood if I thought pure IP-based connections would be an alternative?

Edit:

We have made some improvements so the local wireless interface would work also using Layer3 to the CAPsMAN. This is available in RouterOS v6.13.

I'll wait for 6.13 then.

I am doing an office building that is old, concrete and steel construction. Very little signal penetration from room to room.

We are planing 24 low power ap's and would really like to be able to set auto channel in caps-man.

Any word on when it will be added.???

CAPs Manager and DUDE do not live together.
It killing any Mikrotik. Device goes into permanent reboot when they are together.

RouerOS tested from 6.10 to 6.13
I try did it with both version of DUDE, on (mipsbe) RB9xx series and RB2011 series

At last it run well in my network version 6.13 is bet version for running VLAN.
If you are using apple gadget, disable the multicast (default is on) for running youtube video smoothly.
If you want to use radius (external) as auth, just enable the "Mac Address" & "Mac Mask" and leave as is (00:00:00:00:00:00), and the action is query radius.

I have big problems with capsman
my client ap ist rebooting all ~20 seconds with maybe a bug?

Capsman on CCR1036-12G-4S (V6.13) with wireless-fp-6.13-tile.npk Client ap:
6x RB951-2n (V6.13) with wireless-fp-6.13-mipsbe.npk

Just installed a Dude 4.0beta3 dude package on RB2011 with CAPsMAN enabled and it doesn't reboot.
Please tell us more what have you configured on the router and what do you see in the log files after the reboot?

djmanu, does the CAPs reboot as soon as they establish connection to the CAPsMAN or when the connection is established and wireless client connect to the CAP and starts to push traffic.
Try to disable the TKIP security and use only AES security.
Also please contact support@mikrotik.com to get a newer test release of RouterOS v6.14 which already has some fixes for the CAPsMAN.

how possible CAPs Manager can manage all connected APs running on single channel?

There is a global config, which affects all managed ap's, then you can add specific configs for certain ap's, that would allow you to config channels individually.

I want them to support "auto" channel in the global config,

as we know aruba controller can auto detect the interference between the ap and adjust the rf thing accordingly to reduce the noise and optimized the coverage.

but, if mikrotik can make they controller to syn the pulse like how gps syn apply in other technology, it can make use only single channel to perfom seamless roaming.

with this feature, i believe the market will own by Mikrotik instead other's like Meru and etc...

auto channel selection feature is already implemented - do not specify the frequency in the configuration and the CAPsMAN will automatically select the less used frequency.

auto channel selection feature is already implemented - do not specify the frequency in the configuration and the CAPsMAN will automatically select the less used frequency.

I hope, in future versions, this option will be shown on the list. Otherwise, users will not know it is implemented - there is no word about it in CAPsMAN manual.

Is there anyway of creating a channel list in CAPsMan so it will only look at select frequency's when set to auto channel (no channel selected)?

If not will this be implemented?

Steve

I cant seem to have any caps on 40Mhz, each time i configure 40Mhz in 2.4 or 5ghz the cap interfaces report "-unsupported channel". If i swap the 2ghz channel config to 20Mhz it establishes straight away.
I also cant get any 5ghz working at all...

RB493G as CAPsMAN and RB912UAG-5HPnD with an additional radio card (for 2Ghz). Both on ROS 6.13

leave the width 20mhz and specify the extension channel eC or Ce and then it should be working as a 20/40mhz.

since all the CAP is taking order from the CAPsMAN.
how to configure the CAPsMAN to ask all connected CAP trasmit att the same time.

this become we can make us only single channel and no worry again on any channel planning???

Why would you need such feature?
If you know that some frequencies ins't working, you can choose the frequency manually where want your AP to operate.

We would like the units to only look at the three non overlapping channels (in the UK channels 1,6 and 11) when set to auto channel, means the units will not cause issues with other channels.

Hi! I have a problem with force disconnect clients that have signal range outside specified.
I have a 2 rules, for one client. When client in -65..-30 range - its connect successfully, and I need disconnect them after he get to -120..-66 range.
But it didnt work
Maybe its an error in my access rules?

I have a 2 rules, for one client. When client in -65..-30 range - its connect successfully, and I need disconnect them after he get to -120..-66 range.
But it didnt work
Maybe its an error in my access rules?

Hi zolti,

I also have this problem using the same settings. Can anybody help?

Regards

Aidan

I've just tested on mine and it works with a set of rules like this:

/caps-man access-list
add action=reject comment="Deny all low signals" signal-range=-120..-60
add action=accept comment="Laptop" mac-address=E0:CA:94:92:D2:AD
add action=accept comment=N4 mac-address=40:B0:FA:6D:EB:CE
add action=accept comment="laptop" mac-address=88:25:2C:B1:C2:54
add action=accept comment="Moto G" mac-address=3C:43:8E:FF:43:DE


So seems you need to match the reject first.

We were able to reproduce this problem. We will try to fix this problem in one of the next RouterOS releases.

Thanks Nick I will try tomorrow.

Hi Nick,

I tried:

[admin@CAPsMAN] /caps-man access-list> print detail
0 ;;; Deny all low signals
interface=all signal-range=-120..-60 action=reject

but no success. As per screen shot quite a few -60 to -120

Today I saw load balancing group function. What will it do?

Interesting...
Mikrotik, can you tell us more about this feature...

Sorry to appear ignorant but this is fairly new to me.

I have been looking at upgrading from standalone AP's to a managed AP environment for a while and was planning to use a CAPWAP based system (Cisci, Zyxel, Unifi(?) or similar) as this appears to be an industry standard. (Wikipedia states 'The protocol specification is described in RFC 5415')

Is CAPsMan based on the same protocols or do we have to use MikroTik equipment to gain this functionality?

Thanks
Matthew

Any ideas as to what the Load Balancing Group will do?

There is one feature missing in CAPsMAN (small but very important):
In WinBox and WebFig: Registration Table does not show comments from Access List. In Registration Table column "Comments" cannot be added. In terminal window comments are shown properly, so this is missing feature of WinBox and WebFig.

In old wireless package Registration Table was showing comments that were assigned to MAC addresses in Access List. Will this option be added to new wireless-fp?

Hi
it is possible to run eap in capsman? if so, how? I can not bite.
By the way I might add from each script that turns off the wifi on the night and on Sundays
capsEnable capsDisable

Does somebody tested seamless roaming in different cap modes? Does it work?
I'm just waiting for 2 baseboxes to come so I'll test it soon. Just wanted to know if someone did it already.
Regards.

it will have few packet lost...

Any reviews on usage of Capsman in a semi/production deployment ? I need to do a wireless roll out for nearly site wide VOIP + Email connectivity in the not too distant future. I'd normally go to UBNT but their current stuff has left a really bad taste in my mouth.

Would be interested to know if any problems were encountered with roaming.

It's sad. I hope at least it's switching a little bit faster than without controller with PSK and significally faster with EAP.
Thanks for reply.

Would be interested to know if any problems were encountered with roaming.

We have a CAPsMAN system (6.13) in production over here.
The manager runs on a 2011, ten BaseBox2 connected as CAPs. - CPU utilization around 20...35%.
Two SSIDs on two networks, both on manager forwarding.
Traffic is constantly around 20...30MBps with peaks up to 150MBit.
We have a few VoIP-Clients (Aastra AMC+ system on iPhones and Android) the roaming of which works quite well - but it strongly depends on the client. I noticed iPhones roaming slightly smoother than Android devices (HTC and Samsung). Moving around with an iPhone with an active VoIP call does not drop out at all whereas the same client on Android produces a short (feels like 100ms) dropout, but does not disconnect the call.
Non-VoIP access works perfectly.
Moving around pinging a device behind the CAPsMANager drops one packet every once in a while when roaming, but there also are occasions when I don't see a single packet lost.

Hope, that helps.

Thanks for the update cdiedrich.

can describe your signal strenght range for clients ?

..and .how many clients (avg/peak) ? ..I've never seen that info in your msg

Client count is about 30 (Laptops, smartphones and BaseBox2 in client mode) in average, up to 200 (smartphones only) peak.
Kikoleg, I'll collect some signal strength data tomorrow, but I know by heart the fewest of them are below -60.

Cheers

I have two (separate) implementation:

1. CAPsMan on RB1100 and 8 APs: Metal 2SHPn (5) Groove 2Hn (2) Groove A-2Hn (1) (the fabric)

everything works perfectly, also iPhones but security is configured as in screen 2. CAPsMan on RB1200 and 5 APs: RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN (1) and RB411AR (4) (Hotspot in hotel)

I run CAPsMan evening and morning next day i found that RB411ARs restarted over 100 times.
I reduced cpu timing and everything worked well for 4 hours. One of the RB411AR did not survive this experiment . I changed it for Metal and Metal works very good. I tried also RB333 and this unit also was restarting again and again

Everything on software 6.15

can describe your signal strenght range for clients ?

Here the first clients dropping in this morning: ...will try to make another screenshot when the staff populates...

Thnx cdiedrich !
And how You in Access list compose levels of Signal Range for smooth move from AP to other AP ?
I'm not setup range and my AP holds client to the bitter end while the client is already within range of more powerful AP ...

I have a reject rule in place for signal ranges below -70 - but as we're still running 6.13 it's not working (as described in this thread and confirmed by uldis just some posts above).
I will update to 6.15 as soon as our peak season ceases and post results here.

But nevertheless, we're actually not facing real problems with that.
I should mention here that our APs are pretty dense in the building as we have a lot of metal in the warehouse, so I guess this makes roaming a bit easier for the clients.

Cheers
-Chris

As promised, here some more registrations.
Not the best day today since many people are out in the field... -Chris

Thnx cdiedrich !!

thanx!

sorry for the newbie question: why tx signal is 0 for all (almost) ?

I wondered myself - I must admit that I don't have a clue but I guess it has to do with the client. The two clients showing a TX signal <> 0 are MikroTik devices, the rest is off-the-shelf gear like smartphones, laptops, tablet PCs, hendheld barcode scanners....
-Chris

thanx!

sorry for the newbie question: why tx signal is 0 for all (almost) ?

Tx signal showing only for Mikrotik devices.

Well, so it's time to think on the next project using CAPs Manager (about me it's safer to start with a lab env )
Bundling CAPsMan, mAPs, PoE switch (.af/.at) ..would be really interesting.

We would like the units to only look at the three non overlapping channels (in the UK channels 1,6 and 11) when set to auto channel, means the units will not cause issues with other channels.

Maybe I am missing the point, but the Auto feature already rules out any overlap problems, because it actually scans the air for other APs that could be distutbing yours.

I'll try to imagine some situation when it can be useful.
For example we have very noisy environment with a lot of APs working in the same area. Many of them configured on "standard non-overlapping channels" 1,6,11.
RB decides to select channel 8 for example. And now we have interference with APs running on channels 6,11. In many cases it's better to have L2 collisions when locked to 6th or 11th channel than L1 interference with both 6,11 (or even with one of them).
In my setups I'm trying to use CH 1,6,11 for 2.4 Ghz where it's possible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong at some point.

Just checked access lists on my RB912UAGs'. Works pretty well, clients dropping when signal less then accepted and reconnects to other AP. Packets lost while reconnecting are 1-3 icmp ping pkts (interval 1s).

While using SIP (test on-hold) with my Android device (Nexus 5) and CSipSimple there is short 0.5-1s gap when switching between APs.

In WinBox and WebFig: Registration Table does not show comments from Access List.

We will try to add support for this.

There are comments in Registration Table. Thank You!

Please, could somebody help me to understood, how I can get guest wi-fi network with CAPs manager and virtualAP?

I am add a configuration for guest wi-fi in Configuration, and in Provisioning tab, added this configuration as a slave to one of my AP.

I cannot make a workable logic in my head, how it must work and what i must do with guest virtual ap...

You need add new address pool and build a bridge for Guest netwrok.
Setup new configuration in CAPsMAN for Guest network and in the Datapath use Guest bridge ...
Setup virtual interface with master of your main Wireless interface. In provsioning tab for that interface use slave - cfg-for guest network.
If you need separate network use rules in the Route List Src.address = guest netwrok ip address pool Dst.address = local ip address pool and Action what you want (drop, unreachebale i e.t.c)

I would love to but I can't get excited. Its basically a year after the posted "Wireless Controller".

If MT could really come to the party with this, then I could finally stop buying UNIFI

You do realize that CAPsMAN was announced in February, but you only noticed it now ? You can't blame us for that

i have an (MTU?) problem with CAPsMAN using manager forwarding mode; i already sent a mail to support@ and i'm awaiting response; thought i'd post here in the meantime.

my setup is:
CCR1036-12G-4S as CAPsMAN
mixed devices as CAP: mostly RB2011UAS-2HnD, RB2011UiAS-2HnD, RB951-2n
everything is running 6.17

i have a rather complex setup on the CCR (many vlans, many things but the relevant info should be:
- i have a bridge called "br-dcadmin" (protocol-mode=none) with an l2mtu of 1600
- almost all the CAPs have a slave configuration called "cfg-dcadmin"
- this configuration specifies ssid/country "austria"/channel "ch-admin"/datapath "dp-admin"/security "wpa2psk" and a passphrase.
- "ch-admin": 2422Mhz, 20Mhz width, Band: 2ghz-b/g/n
- "dp-admin": bridge "br-dcadmin"
- "wpa2psk": auth type "WPA2 PSK", encryption: aes ccm, group encryption: aes ccm.

caps are properly registered with the man, get their configurations, cap interfaces on the man get added to the bridge, everything appears to be fine, EXCEPT:

when i connect with a mobile device or my windows 8.1 laptop to this network (regardless of which CAP i am connected to), i am unable to send larger packets. with that i mean that:
- i am able to acquire an ip address via dhcp
- i can standard-ping everything
- if i try to ping with larger packet sizes, it silently fails:

on windows, specifying the packet length with "-l" (thats an L) means the actual payload size. that means that under normal circumstances, you should be able to ping with 1472, because +28 IP header = 1500:

>ping -l 1472 -f 195.34.133.10
Pinging 195.34.133.10 with 1471 bytes of data:
Reply from 195.34.133.10: bytes=1472 time=27ms TTL=105

and also

>ping -l 1473 -f 195.34.133.10
Pinging 195.34.133.10 with 1473 bytes of data:
Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set.

if i try to do the same while connected to the network, pinging with 1472 payload silently fails. even without -f (dont fragment bit)! actually, it fails with even smaller sizes, i have to go down to a payload size of 1438 (so thats 1466 brutto) for the ping to go through.

this causes all kinds of problems, as it doesnt just fragment the packets, but silently discards them somewhere. this means you can open tiny websites, but not "normal" ones, you can ping, but not receive emails with attachments, and all the usual stuff that mtu problems bring with them.

*all* my interfaces *everywhere* have an l2mtu of at least 1582 appearently. so i have no idea why this fails.

would be grateful for any insight / clues anyone might have.

is capsman tunneling *supposed* to lower the available MTU?

thanks & regards,
Markus

hello! can anyone please told me, it is possible to make CAPsMan works with Radius + Windows Active Directory and do authorization for users with its AD credentials, without sertificate installing?

Do you have switches in between the CAPsMAN and the CAPs?
What is the IP-MTU on the interfaces connecting to CAPsMAN?

would be nice if capsman allow to control de datarate set on managed caps, its a very useful and needed feature to disable lower datarates, because it improves roaming behavior.

Disabling lower datarates and the use of acl solves problems like the sticky client and optimize the ap selection from client perspective

any possibility of include this feature in caps man?

i think its the only that prevent me of using capsman in certain scenarios

I saw a post about CAPsMAN registering its own wireless interfaces as radios using a layer3 connection,
but I can't manage to do that.
I see in "remote cap" a cap with address ::fff:192.168.50.50 (the ipv4 address on the interface I am using, with a ipv6 prefix). when it comes to status Datacheck it appears in "radio" table, but the connection drops after some time (30 seconds, maybe). Then it restarts negotiation with the same result and so on.
In log i have "4-way handshake failed".

I used auto-generated certificates, and selected the same certificate that was generated for caps-man as the cap certificate.
Other CAPs register and work fine, at layer2.

I can't uderstand if it is a problem because the radio is on the CAPsMAN or if it is a more generic problem about Layer3: anyone made it work REALLY with layer3? In another installation I saw CAPs configured with an IP address in "CAPsMAN addresses" registering to a different CAPsMAN ...

NOTE:
- RouterOs 6.19
- seeing the ipv6-like address I tried enabling ipv6 package: no difference

Any help appreciated.

D.

I have the same problem, with my local WLAN on my RB2011 FW6.20rc9.

In my firewall-log i can see, that the following packages are blocked: I have try a new rule:
input -> SRC-IP-Address 192.168.177.0/24, DST-IP-Address 192.168.177.0/24 -> accept

Now its running.
But i think everythink is wrong, with my capsman configruation and the local WLAN-adapter on my RB2011.

The network 192.168.177.0/24 is my default LAN-network. The IP-Address of my LAN-Bridge is 192.168.177.254.
In the cap-configuration from the local wlan-interface, i have say that the capsman-adress is 192.168.177.254.

Hi,

i have got the same problems with CAP and the CRS but with some trail and error practise i was able to get a registration of CRS Wifi into the CAPsMAN. The CAP is connected to the Bridge. Tried to connect Android Phone and Tablet and Windows Phone with success, every device gets a IP address. But the problem is that the devices cannot browse in the internet. DHCP is well configured. Someone able to troubleshoot?

Thanks, Ben

if you want to register the onboard wifi interface of the CAPsMAN into the CAPsMAN system you can use the caps-man-addresses=127.0.0.1 in the /interface wireless cap.

hello! can anyone please told me, it is possible to make CAPsMan works with Radius + Windows Active Directory and do authorization for users with its AD credentials, without sertificate installing?

Yes. It is possible.
I have such implementation up and running.

Just fallow this manual http://networklessons.com/wireless/peap ... cisco-wlc/

Here a example configuration that i made.

Did you set the datapath to local forwarding ?

With local forwarding is now all good and working fine. Thanks for help!

any news on the when the interface is created on CAPsMAN to have it labeled the identity of the CAP device?
the prefix is nice but having the name of remote device in the interface name or some type of group like below

[AP-RM12]
------| [Prefix-SSID]
------| [Prefix-SSID]

We would like the units to only look at the three non overlapping channels (in the UK channels 1,6 and 11) when set to auto channel, means the units will not cause issues with other channels.

Please correct me if I'm wrong at some point.

I have a big project (around 200 APs) using Aruba wireless, I have checked the channels that its using and I found out that they use only channels 1, 6 & 11. Also I have a small project that uses Ubiquity Unifi and also its using only channels 1, 6 & 11.
In Mikrotik CAPsMAN when its set to auto channel the situation sometimes becomes messy, I have some cases that two access points that are near each other and using the same frequency while some other channels appears to be free or less occupied.
I think it will be great to have the option of auto-channels choose from the three predefined non overlapping channels 1, 6 & 11.

I'm looking answer for my question without any results.
If is possible to make capsman working as ha ?

Good idea but what about configs certs etc.....

Hello.
I found that fine Mikrotik capability - CapsMan and want to try it to organize my little office. I had two room divided by little hall ant two Mikrotik 2011UiAS-2HnD connected by ethernet cable (CapsMan started on one of this devices). My CapsMan configuration works nice, my APs sync with CapsMan, but i have very huge problems with "sticky" clients.
Did yo have any recommendations about some configuration detail which can be useful in my situation?
With my best regards.
P.S. Sorry for my non-good English

Hi all, I'm trying CAPsMAN for use in a large house with multiple access points Mikrotik . To avoid any device was static in one of the access points with a bad sign , I'm thinking of writing a rule in the Access List , signal range , I choose interface: everyone and signal range , for example : - 60..60 and the action parameter : accept. And must not accept any client access points below this signal. The idea is to help devices connect to the best AP ( all with the same SSID ), but if I move and decrease signal , for example, at -70 , the device is connected to the same access point . I know that the problem must be that the client is accepted yet and is not a new connection, but any ideas? Changes between access points normally functioning properly or not well. Any wrong in the configurarion, other idea? Thank you very much.

Did you write second access list with -61..80 reject?

A channel list would be great if wanting to manually lock into a frequency.
Ideally, in my opinion, we would want a complete listing of available channels across the 2.4 and 5.x Ghz spectrum.
Here is the 2.4Ghz list
Start Mid End
1 2401 2412 2423
2 2404 2417 2428
3 2411 2422 2433
4 2416 2427 2438
5 2421 2432 2443
6 2426 2437 2448
7 2431 2442 2453
8 2436 2447 2458
9 2441 2452 2463
10 2451 2457 2468
11 2451 2462 2473
12 2456 2467 2478
13 2461 2472 2483
14 2473 2484 2495
Therefore, the Mikrotik wants to show us the whole list greyed out so we may choose our channel(s) accordingly. Also, if we had the Freq. Usage tool integral to this window on Winbox we may look at the frequency usage, select our channel(s) from here and apply. Then the channel(s) would be defined correctly with the least noise while also not having to go to the Internet all the time to find the exact bandwidth numbers. What happens if one is just a number or two off?

Does mikrotik have the feature dynamic channel selection?
As of now I found ACS (Automatic Channel selection ) to be working
I am using basebox2(b/g/n) rel-6.34.3

Hi folks. I have problem. I got new phone. BlackBerry Key2 with Android 8.1 and with capsman i have very often DEAUTH, LEAVING. Phone strugling with assotiating to one of caps ap's.

ROS in lattest version.

Fixed. Problem was in chanel width. Value 20Mhz is probably not fine for 802.11n



edit, not fixed

still the same
