Hello all,
I have the following challenge. I have two branches A and B linked using two Mikrotik RB433AH configured as bridge as shown in the attached diagram.At each branch, I have a Cisco 2811 router sitting between the wireless link and the office LAN. Only the two integrated LAN ports Fa0/0 & Fa0/1 of each Cisco 2811 are in use-no additional inteface module installed yet.
The following routes are configured on the Cisco 2811 routers:
Branch A:
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.253 150
router ospf 1
network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
Branch B:
ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.254 150
router ospf 1
network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 10
The Mikrotik RB433AH are configured as WDS bridge.The gateway address of the windows XP workstations WS1 and WS2 at each of the branch is set to the IP address of the corresponding Cisco 2811 Fa0/0 ethernet port connected to the Lan switch of the branch.
On testing the connection the following results were obtained:
-
Without the two Cisco routers, one can ping from WS1 to WS2 and vice versa.
-
With the two Cisco routers connected, it is no longer possible to ping WS2 from WS1 and vice versa. However the ip address of fa0/0 and fa0/1 of the cisco 2811 router at the other end of the link can be pinged from the opposite end. For example I can From Ws1 ping 192.168.10.253 and 192.168.1.253 but I cannot ping 192.168.1.10
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards.
