Learn how to deploy MikroTik CAPsMAN to manage multiple APs, connect them via layer 2, and secure the management channel with certificates and a certificate authority workflow.
Learn to configure channels on CAPsMAN to provision access points. Create non overlapping 2.4 ghz channels 1, 6, and 11 with central frequencies 2412 and 2437, apply via configuration container.
Learn to configure datapaths on CAPsMAN by creating bridges for users and guests, provisioning IPs, DHCP, DNS, and gateway settings, then apply tunnel routing and NAT for internet access.
Create and apply configuration containers for channel one and channel six with CAPsMAN, with separate user and guest containers, then provision them to the access points.
Apply dynamic provisioning on CAPsMAN to create master and slave configurations for APs and deploy two virtual access points for users and guests.
Configure CAPsMAN VLANs to separate user and guest wireless networks using VLAN 10 and VLAN 20.
Upgrade MikroTik CAPsMAN managed access points from the CAPsMAN server, verify architecture alignment across devices, apply upgrade policies, and troubleshoot space and provisioning during the lab.
Configure the capsman access list to filter clients by signal strength using ordered rules. Reject low-signal devices and allow others, with mac address based access and per-device passwords.
Many of you as network engineers have been requested to install a complete wireless network in a hotel, mall or exhibitions so the Wi-Fi covers the whole area to allow users to enjoy the wireless internet connectivity. In such a complex network, you require 10's and sometimes 100's of Wireless Access Points (APs) to provide the full coverage.
Those APs require configuration to let them work, so if you have for example 100 APs to configure then you need to configure them one by one and this takes a lot of time.
In our case, we can use MikroTik CAPsMAN so all MikroTik AP's can be controlled from one device and all settings on the Wireless can be changed from the CAPsMAN MikroTik Router - and this is the mission of this course.
In this course, I will show you how you can connect all APs to the CAPsMAN and how you can control everything from the CAPsMAN itself. With a real LAB scenario, I will show you step by step how you can configure everything at the CAPsMAN then we will connect to the wireless and see that it is going to be working without any problem.
Topics that will be covered in this course are:
Initial Configuration on the CAPsMAN
Connect the CAPs to the CAPsMAN with and without certificates
Create Channels in CAPsMAN
Create Security profiles in CAPsMAN
Create Configuration containers in the CAPsMAN
Create Datapaths in CAPsMAN
Make Provisioning in the CAPsMAN
Configure VLAN's on CAPsMAN
Create Access lists
Make a backup CAPsMAN for failover
MikroTik CAPsMAN is very required and information about how to configure it is not very clear, so this course can be like a reference for you to understand in details with LABS how to make MikroTik CAPsMAN works.
I hope that you will enjoy my course.
