WDS and mesh

Tue Aug 16, 2016 7:12 pm

Hello,

i have issues with WDS and mesh. Before i post any configs, i want to ask a general question...

So, four ap-bridges (each has one 2,4G interface) are fully meshed over their wireless interfaces.
Two of these accesspoints have ethernet-uplinks (on one side are servers, the other side the internet),
the eth (masters) on each ap are ports of a software bridge and the software bridge is a port in a
mesh interface. The wds is working great and works by using virtual accesspoints that are configured with
wds-mode=static-mesh. The wds interfaces are ports of the mesh bridge too.

But now the question: I want to connect with clients to the master wireless interface... IS that a supported
configuration? An Android cell phone does not connect at all, a Thinkpad connects but gets no
IP from DHCP, no data is transmitted over the link. In my tests i had the master interface as port
in the software-bridge and as port in the mesh-bridge too, but without success... What's the mistake?

ROS is 6.36, wireless-rep

Thanks
Björn

Okay, this is the wireless config.. What do i have to configure to make connections to ssid "clients"
working?
