Station-bridge and HWMP+

Thu Feb 24, 2011 10:55 am

... don't mix. Why?

Having abandoned my efforts to set up a mesh network with station-wds mode, along with ROS 4.16, I turned to ROS 5rc10 to see if I can get it right this time.

I still have two routerboards (RB411, RB411AH), with a couple of R52Hn cards. I need to bridge the R52 on the RB411AH (in station-bridge mode) with the onboard wireless interface. The other R52 is on the RB411 on ap-mode.

HWMP+ (Mesh menu) fails.

RSTP (Bridge menu) succeeds, and the connection works normally.

Can somebody please tell me what gives? Does HWMP+ work at all with bridging interfaces in station (-wds or -bridge) mode? If not, please tell me so I can stop wasting my time trying to make this work. RSTP is fine for now, my mesh won't be so complex.

It's not bad to say, "you know, this is not supported yet -or at all-" or "what you're trying to do is wrong, for such and such reasons". But getting no response is the worst of all, and it hampers our plans of doing business with Mikrotik in the future.
