I have set up all the static routes so that all devices know the directions to follow.
AP2 can ping everything on all the networks. AP3 can ping to 10.7.2.2 and AP1 can ping to 10.7.1.2
BUT when i set up route: destination 172.16.0.0/16 and say gateway 10.7.1.2. it doesnt work. the route stays blue or inactive. also the same happens with ap3 when i say the gateway to the 10.50.20.0/24 network is 10.7.2.2. They can ping to the entry/gateway of the opposite network but it just wont accept the route.
I DONT UNDERSTAND!
everything is v3.3. all rb133.
if you want me to paste more info i will. Thanks guys!
The gateway on ap3 would be set to 10.7.1.1, as that’s the next IP it’s connected to to get to those other networks. 10.7.2.x is irrelavent to the ap3 when getting data to/from 10.50.20.x. This of gateway/routeing as “how do I get stuff off this subnet”.
Is the wireless (wifi) link from AP1 to AP2, and also from AP2 to AP3 “point to point”, meaning that there are exactly two radios (one as an AP and one as a Station) comprising each link?
What interfaces (wireless and ethernet) are in use on each unit, what are their functions in your network, and what IP addresses are assigned to each?
Assuming that there is a way “out” of the entire network, what interface/network is it on (AP1, AP2, or AP3), and what’s it’s IP address?
From there, if I can fully understand your network layout (or goal), I may be able to help out a bit.
Cool that worked jp. I always thought u had to show it the route to where the distant subnet was. then use the gateway on the last router. I dont know how my network has worked so far using this approuch but at least I know better now.
