Compatbility between AP Bridge and Station Bridge

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hello,

I am experiencing a problem of connectivity between clients registered on the same AP.

The scenario is the following:

  • AP configured as “AP Bridge” mode


  • The AP has a bridge with ether1 and wlan1


  • IP Address on bridge1


/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] mode=ap-bridge [...]

/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 protocol-mode=none
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1

/ip address
add address=192.168.1.11/24 interface=bridge1 network=192.168.1.0



  • Client configured in “Station Bridge” mode


  • The client has a bridge with ether1 and wlan1


  • IP Address on bridge1


/interface wireless
set [ find default-name=wlan1 ] mode=station-bridge [...]

/interface bridge
add admin-mac=64:D1:54:4A:81:D8 name=bridge1 protocol-mode=none
/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1

/ip address
add address=192.168.1.100/24 interface=bridge1 network=192.168.1.0

I have different clients registered to the AP. The problem is that i cannot ping from one client to the other.
From AP, the clients are correctly reachable.

All the units have release software 6.36.4.

Is there something wrong in the configuration?

Thank you

Just sounds like you don’t have forwarding enabled on the AP.

3

do you mean the “default forward” on the wlan1 configuration?
It is actually enable.

Thanks

4

Yes, or the equivalent on an Access List entry.

It is actually enable.

Don’t know then.

Hello,

just for update, it seems a problem of nv2 since it works with nstreme.

You don’t seem to have mentioned nv2 or nstreme in the original post.

Yes, it was my fault.
I did not think that the wireless protocol should be the cause of these type of problems.
Anyway, the AP is forced to work with nv2.
Is it a bug or its correct behavior?

Thanks

That’s why you should include all of the config., not just snippets of what you think is relevant.

I don’t know the answer. Try asking Mikrotik support.
