Mode station and arp-proxy?

RouterOS General
1

I have implemented one AP client (over MT2.9rc6)

Diagram Networks:

My network: 192.168.1.0/24
AP Client MT: 192.168.1.2/24
AP other vendor: 192.168.1.1/24
HOSTA: 192.168.1.10/24
HOSTB: 192.168.1.20/24

HOSTA====> (LAN port) AP client(MT2.9rc6) <==========> AP(other vendor) ===>wired network—>HOSTB


AP client, is atheros radio 5004x, the configure:

wireless=station mode, and arp=enable. IP=192.168.1.2/24
ethernet=normal arp=proxy-arp IP=192.168.0.1/24 (only for administration)

From the HOSTB it does ping to the wireless interface of MT(192.168.1.2) But not ping at the HOSTA.

Arp cache table the HOSTA, show the mac the ethernet(CLIENT MT), by each IP that questions. Arp-proxy this working correctly.

Because it does not work correctly then?
Is this forwarding arp problem?


Thanks in advanced.

Excuses by my poor english

IPs from the same subnet cannot be used on two different router’s interfaces. Use bridging in this situation (or routing if you prefer). You have to bridge wireless and ethernet interfaces both on MikroTik and other vendor routers. Keep on mind that station wireless interface couldn’t be bridged, that’s why please follow this example:

Dear Edgars, thanks for you fast reply.

The IPs is different!

MT-CLIENT:
WLAN=192.168.1.2/24
LAN=192.168.0.1/24 (only for administration)

Yes, station cannot be put in bridge, for that reason I want to solve it with arp-proxy.

The example WDS o EoIP no rules in my case. The AP other vendor is very basic. Only function AP.

It already works!!


MT-CLIENT
Mode=station
proxy-arp enable in interface wireles and ethernet
WIRELESS: 192.168.1.126/25
ETHERNET: 192.168.1.129/25

Its very important mask network! and route default gw, (192.168.1.1 in wireless interface)

HOSTA=192.168.1.200/24

The problem of this configuration:
1º Only arrive at IP between: 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.127
2º PC ip the side client between: 192.168.1.128 - 192.168.1.255

AP-basic-Other vendor:
192.168.1.1/24

If somebody has some other configuration, post a reply!

Thanks!
