I have a wireless link running with a Mikrotik soltion o my high site and 2x Senao Wireless access points connecting to it. The wireless works perfectly, but unfortunately I have to run old IPX packets through the network. Is there a way to brigde the Mikrotik so that all IPX traffic will be able to flow through.
Thanks

We have done this in the past using EoIP tunnels. There are discussions running (also in this forum) wether WDS is more performant for such purposes, but that wasn’t available “back then” (this was using MikroTik 2.6.x …).
So if you want to go “the EoIP way” just create an EoIP tunnel between the two endpoints you want to connect IPX-wise (see the manual for details) and bridge ethernet and EoIP interface together. Remember to tell the bridge NOT to bridge IP, as I assume you want to continue routing your IP packets…
I currently have 2 senao aps in wds mode and I am able to transmit ipx between remote networks quite happily . I intend to replace one of the aps with MK so I hope this will work.
