bridge-mode parameter in Router OS v7

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Greetings,

I own twо routers wAP ac LTE6 kit (v6.49.10) and hAP ax³ (7.11.2) latest stable on both.
hAP ax3 is my AP and works in ap mode and wAP ac LTE6 works in station pseudobridge mode connected to hAP.
However in this combination on AP i see same MAC address for all station thata are on LAN of wAP.
There is station bridge mode on wAP that as I read will provide solution to this on L2 by proprietary Mikrotik protocol.
In order to do this i need to enable bridge-mode parameter on hAP but there is not such thing on RouterOS v7 or I cannot find it or it is remnoved.
It is availabale on wAP with v6 (advanced configuration) but i don’t need it there unfortunately.
Do you know how to enable bridge-mode parameter on hAP routeros v7 or it is not possible for some reason ?

This mode works only with RouterOS APs and provides support for transparent protocol-independent L2 bridging on the station device. RouterOS AP accepts clients in station-bridge mode when enabled using bridge-mode parameter. In this mode, the AP maintains a forwarding table with information on which MAC addresses are reachable over which station device.

Sub-menu: /interface wireless
bridge-mode (disabled | enabled; Default: enabled)

Thank you !

It’s changing over time.

At first “AP-bridge - station-bridge” was with the WLAN classic driver only, not with wifiwave2. Actually the “bridge” function (4-address mode) was triggered when the station asked for the bridge function via mode “station-bridge”. (See AP wifi log: something like ‘bridge requested’) Other clients just received regular 802.11 3-address connections from this AP.

Now the wifiwave2 driver also has the “station bridge” mode option, but currently settable in CLI only. It will activate the 4-address mode with a wifiwave2 “AP” .

Bridge-requests in “station-bridge” modes via classic WLAN or wifiwave2, are not compatible, with the other driver AP
If wifiwave2 “AP” mode reacts to wifiwave2 “station bridge” , then “AP” can be seen as “AP bridge” as used with WLAN setting already.


Using station-pseudobridge is using the 3 address mode, and using MAT (MAC address translation) to have some mystic L2.5 connection for IPv4. That L2.5 comes with a lot of own problems, as it is non-standard in any way.
