I have two routers, RB493 and RB433. RB433 is using R52-2 wireless card connected to wifi AP and if I enable dhcp client on RB433 for interface R52-2 I will get one IP on this interface.
Now, I want to made tunnel between RB493 and RB433 and to get this IP on 493. Have disabled DHCP client for RB433/R52-2, also, have made one eoip tunnel between RB433 and RB493, on 433 have bridge and in this bridge ports eoip interface and R52-2 interface. That all works OK seems, looks this is working, but when I add dhcp client to RB493 eoip interface this just can’t get IP address.
Just to confirm that eoip tunnel is OK, when I get torch on RB433 eoip interface I can see UDP packets 68->67
also, when I am checking hosts in bridge I can see MAC of all interfaces, remote AP is marked with "E"xternal and RB493 eoip interface also shown.
I guess problem is in some option in tunnel, bridge, ports … but I just can’t find what is the problem.
Any idea what is wrong ?
Do you have different MAC-addresses on the EoIP interfaces ?
Do you have EoIP interfaces added to bridge, if you want to create bridge between local network ?
yes, I have different MAC on the EoIP interfaces, both in range 00:00:5E:8…
On RB493 I have only interface (without bridge) and this one interface have DHCP client.
On RB433 I have bridge and in this bridge two ports : EoIP interface and Wireless card interface (RB52-2).
After this one post I have found that problem may be in wireless card and this is maybe not doable because of that : http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/interface/bridge.php
but this manual is old and also, there are many options in wireless interface not mentioned, I don’t know what exactly mean “station pseudobridge” for example. BTW. my wireless card is R52-AH
Maybe wireless card didn’t extracting Ethernet packet from 802.11 ? I guess that shall be part of wireless card driver, this make no sense to put in the bridge card which sending 802.11 and router allow me to do it and card state as active.
AP where I am connecting to is NOT wds and I can’t do anything about that, I just hope that some existing and not documented options can help (or at least I can’t find latest documentation).
