MikroTik CAPsMAN and CAP Basic Configuration using Winbox
MikroTik CAPsMAN (Controlled Access Point system Manager) is a centralized Access Point management application provided by MikroTik. MikroTik introduces CAPsMAN from RouterOS v6.11 with CAPsMAN v1 and from RouterOS v6.22rc7 CAPsMAN v2 is running. If you have multiple MikroTik CAPs (Controlled Access Point) in your organization, CAPsMAN provides an easy way to maintain client data as well as CAPs configuration centrally. In my previous article, I discussed how to configure MikroTik Wireless Router as an Access Point. In this article, I will discuss how to do configure MikroTik CAPsMAN basic configuration with a Controlled Access Point (CAP). Network Diagram For a simple MikroTik CAPsMAN configuration, I am following the below network diagram. In this network diagram, MikroTik RouterBOARD 1100 AHX2 is working as a CAPsMAN but it is not a wireless router because CAPsMAN does not require being a wireless router but require a powerful hardware that can control multiple CAPs and client data. Another MikroTik Wireless Router (RB941-2nd) is working as a CAP which will be controlled by the CAPsMAN. After configuring CAPsMAN, SSID (MikroTik CAP) will be shown by the CAP and client will be able to connect providing valid password. MikroTik CAPsMAN Configuration with CAP Wireless Router [...]
