Ok, so I’m new to MT’s wireless side, and am very frustrated… I have a 411 set up as an AP, with WPA TKIP setup, the addy’s 10.10.10.221/24 on the ether1/24 interface, and 10.10.10.222 on the wlan1 interface. My station (rb411) is set to client-pseudobridge, and has a ether1 address 10.10.10.220/24. The two connect and I can access the MAC telnet from each other, no prob, but I can never ping an interface on either side, and don’t see any traffic… I thought that the new pseudobridge mode did away with the NAT rules needed…
Help! I need to have it as a LAN extension for 6-7 buildings, and the bridge mode seems awkward for that number of sites… AP mode seems to be the way to go, and I am trying to avoid WDS beacuse of it’s slowness…
first of all, ports in RouterOS are not bridged by default. so you should not set ip address on ethernet interface from same subnet as wireless interface if these ports are not bridged. Also, if these interfaces are bridges there is no point setting ip addresses on individual bridge ports, that is why you have to set ip addresses on master interface, that is bridge itself.
also, i would like to note, that if you want to bridge wireless interface that is set in mode=station - you cannot do that if you are following 802.11 standard, for that you have to use WDS (station-wds) or mode=station-pseudobridge
mode=ap-bridge can be bridged according to standard.
Thanks for the links, they were pretty helpful, but I’m still unsure as to how to use the pseudobridge functionality…
I set up my AP with a bridge called AP, and gave it the address 10.10.10.220, the radios are associated, when do I go from here to get the layer 2 traffic from the client side to the AP side?
Thanks, please bare with me, I am soooo used to cellular equipment, RF is easy; this is a bit harder.
, I am trying to go from trango ap’s and CPE’s to MT’s, and it is really frustrating… any more input?
