Hi,
This is the basic layout for my setup.
End User - Ethernet - LHG5 - NV2 Wireless - LHG5 (AP) - Ethernet - Generic Netgear Switch - Ethernet - LHG5 - NV2 Wireless - LHG5 (WDS) - Ethernet - RB591 - The internets.
LHG5 at End User : 192.168.1.47
RB591: 192.168.1.1
Right now I have two end users over NV2 to the AP. I would like to separate the end users as the network grows.
To do this the simples way without messing with VLAN i thought that EOIP was the easiest option.
Just to test this i have created one EOIP interface at both the end user and the gateway.
The remote IP for the EOIP at the end user is set to: 192.168.1.1 and the MTU is 1400 (to be safe).
The remote IP for the EOIP at the gateway is set to: 192.168.1.47 and the MUT is also 1400.
The ID is 47 at both ends.
The end user LHG5 has a EOIP bridge created.
The EOIP interface at the gateway is bridged to the same bridge as the regular Ethernet port that the traffic is using for the link at the moment.
As soon as I change the ETH-port at the end user LHG5 to go to the EOIP-bridge instead of the normal WLAN-ETH bridge I loose connection to the devices at the end user.
I can see that the there is some traffic on the EIOP-interface when using torch. But most of the traffic is not showing up as usual.
What am I doing wrong / how should this be done?
Is EOIP even the correct way to implement this separation?
I have been reading up on VLAN and Hybrid ports but i’m not sure about how this would work over WDS and the generic switch.
