The bridge already has a DHCP server that will assign IP addresses to users connected to access points. It should be configured on the bridge created earlier. In the capsman sub-menu, click on the security tab and configure your settings as shown in the image below.ĭatapath is the path data from users connected to controlled access points (CAPs) will travel. These include wireless authentication type, encryption, and passphrase. Next, set up the security features that will be pushed out to all controlled access points.
To do this, click on CAPSMAN, click on manager, set certificate and CA certificate to auto, and click on apply and Ok.
The first thing to do on the CAPSMAN is to enable CAPSMAN. Both devices have been updated and are now running same version of routerOS with license level 4. I have a Mikrotik RB951Ui, which will serve as my CAP (access point), plugged into it. Enable CAPSMAN on the controllerįor this demonstration, I am using a Mikrotik RB750 as my controller. Configure bridge port as a dhcp client to aquire management IP from the DHCP server configured on the controller.Ħ Ensure that both the CAPSMAN and all CAPs have access to the internet. This will assign IP addresses to the CAPs and users connected to the CAPs.Ĥ Ensure all access points (CAP) are plugged to the bridged ports on the controller or to the switch, if you are using a switch.ĥ Login to an access point (CAP), create a bridge and assign both wireless and ethernet interfaces to the bridge. If you are using a switch with a single cable connecting the switch to the CAPSMAN, create a bridge and add that interface alone to the bridgeĢ Assign an IP to the bridge port (management IP).ģ Configure DHCP server on the bridge. Before enabling CAPSMAN on the controllerīefore you enable capsman on the controller, do the following:ġ Create a bridge on the controller and plug all cables connecting to access points to the ports assigned to the bridge. However, if your CAPSMAN has a wireless interface, that interface can be configured as a CAP. If yours is lower than this version, simply update to current version.Ģ CAPSMAN and CAP devices, aslo known as controlled access points, must have routerOS license level 4 or above.ģ To be added to a CAPSMAN, CAP devices must run same version of routerOS as the CAPSMAN.Ĥ The CAPSMAN does not require a wireless interface to function.
Requiremensts for Mikrotik CAPSMaNġ Any routerOS device with version 6.11 or above. Benefits of Mikrotik CAPSMANġ It allows multiple clients (CAPs) to be upgraded at once.Ģ It simplifies the tasks involved in setting up an access point. The steps are easy and straight forward.Īlso read: What to do when Mikrotik router displays wrong username or passwordīefore we go into the configuration of Mikrotik capsman, let us look at the benefits of using capsman to manage your access points. In this demonstration, I will share with us on how to enable Mikrotik capsman to manage all access points.
