I need to config a number (32) of cAP ax devices. The network I have to install them had CAPSMAN forwarding before, and now I would need to use VLAN IDs. VLANS are fine, because switches are VLANned, I would just need to reconfigure more trunks.
What I am wondering is how is the CAP adding supposed to work as per MikroTik? When I reset to CAP mode, it is very simplistic, and it is essentially set for the packets to be tagged by CAPSMAN, which is actually the reason why I bought AX devices in the first place - setting VLANS on old CAPs is hell.
Does the above mean that I am supposed to route trunks to the CAPS and also allow one management VLAN untagged on for management?
The switches already have VLANs configured, and all CAPs are in their own VLAN. What I was thinking to do is just make trunks out of LAN ports and allow both tagged and untagged. Untagged is for management, and tagged packets would then be routed where need be.
It seems to me that in MikroTik they actually wanted for this to be set this way? Or?
I would like to skip doing too much work on CAPs and changing too much on the infrastructure devices already installed.
For the record, this is the default config:
