i’m using ROS on PC as a main router , firewall , etc ..
i want to connect it to RB333 as the main AP for my network ..
i just need to make seperated networks using these equipment , like this :
pc-ether1 (192.168.1.1/24) ----> rb333-ether1( 192.168.1.2)----->wlan1 ( 192.168.1.3)
pc-ether2 (192.168.2.1/24) ----> rb333-ether2( 192.168.2.2)----->wlan2 ( 192.168.2.3)
.
.
.
is it possible on the RB side?
i need it to be like that , for example i need to run web-proxy and DHCP server in the main pc for only 192.168.1.0/24 network ..
nice photo , anyway i dont think u understand me at all ..
in RB333 we got 3 ethernet + 3 Wlan slots right ?
can we just make 3 bridges (eth1+wlan1 ) , ( eth2+wlan2) and ( eth3+wlan3) ?
each bridge connected (ethernet) to an interface at the main MT with a different subnet ..
and we had run hotspot , pppoe and dhcp on each of the 3 interfaces at the main MT ..
yep, you even do not need three eths in RB, just make three VLAN interfaces, bridge them with corresponding wlans, and create the same Vlans on MT. then allow packet forwarding from/to internet (optionally, if not using web proxy, for example), and forbid the rest, to disallow communication between wlans
then you can add any hotspot/pppoe/dhcp servers on any vlan you just created
nice reply .. ok , i will explain the whole idea :
now , I have two kind of clients , first is a group of clients sharing a bandwidth of 512k/256k , those clients connected to WL01-RB01 and WL04-RB02 on a hotspot server at main ROS ..
second type of clients is clients getting dedicated bandwidth by thier RB’s wich is all linked to WL02 (PtmP) .. let’s say RB-03 get 1024/256 and RB03 get 384/128 and so on ..
let me guess :
for first type of clients..
at main ROS side , eth01 connected to RB01,
add vlan (vlan01) on eth01 with ip 192.168.1.1/24..
add hotspt on vlan01 ..
at RB01 side , eth01 is connected to main ROS ..
add vlan (vlan01) at eth01
bridge vlan01 + WL01 … ip 192.168.1.2/24
now every client connected to WL01 will authonticate by the main ROS hotspot .. correct ??
at RB-02 side :
add vlan (vlan01) on WL03(the dish antenna)
bridge vlan01 + WL04(the omni antenna) … ip 192.168.1.2/24
now every client connected to WL04 will authonticate by the main ROS hotspot .. correct ??
let us stop here couse i need correction or confirmation ..
at main ROS side , eth01 connected to RB01,
add vlan01 (id=1) on eth01 with ip 192.168.1.1/24
add vlan02 (id=2) on eth01 with ip 192.168.2.1/24
add vlan03 (id=3) on eth01 with ip 192.168.3.1/24
add hotspots on vlan01, vlan02, etc.
at RB01 side , eth01 is connected to main ROS
add vlan01 (id=1) at eth01
add vlan01_2 (id=1) at WL02
add vlan02 (id=2) at eth01
add vlan02_2 (id=2) at WL02
bridge vlan01 + vlan01_2 + WL01 … no ip - you do not need ip on this bridge
second bridge vlan02 + vlan02_2
now every client connected to WL01 will be authenticated by the main ROS hotspot on interface vlan01
at RB-02 side :
add vlan01 (id=1) on WL03
add vlan02 (id=2) on WL03
add vlan02_2 (id=2) on eth01? well, users
bridge vlan01 + WL04, second bridge vlan02 + vlan02_2 … no ip
now every client connected to WL04 will be authenticated by the main ROS hotspot on interface vlan01, and clients on RB02-ethernet will be authenticated by hotspot on vlan02
do not assign IP to bridge. assign it to eth01, and bridge will not interfere with it, it will just transport packets from WLAN to VLAN on main MT added: p.s. err… it’s only about RB-01 =) well, you should add IP to bridge on other RBs =)

thanks for your great help , and below is a block diagram of what i understood from your configuration :
there is only IP’s that i’m confused about ..
for RB01 we assigned IP to eth01 , wich subnet ?
for the rest of RB’s we will assign IP’s to the Bridge , is the bridge IP showen above is correct ?
so when i want to ping RB03 for example i’ll ping 192.168.2.3 ?
assign IPs to RB’s bridges according to vlan, in which traffic is transmitted, e.g. 192.168.1.3 for RB-01, 192.168.2.3 for RB-02, etc. this is because main MT performs routing, so these segments should agree with addresses, assigned to vlans on main MT
1- wht about RB01 IP ?
2- there will be more than one RB03, they will all work on vlan02 , is it ok ?
3- the wlan02 at RB01 is ap-bridge , RB02-wlan03 , RB03-wlan05 and the rest RB’s wlan’s linked to wlan02 mode is station , correct ?
if you don’t want to differentiate RB03 and others, you may use vlan02
if you do want - then you should add corresponding vlans on RB-next and RB-01
for example, RB-04:
add vlan04 (id=4) on WL06
add vlan04_2 (id=4) on eth01
bridge vlan04 + vlan04_2
and then at RB01:
add vlan04 (id=4) at eth01
add vlan04_2 (id=4) at WL02
second bridge vlan04 + vlan04_2
now every client connected to WL06 will be authenticated by the main ROS hotspot on interface vlan04
sorry, it seems like true, but I did not work with wireless networks =(
as written in the manual :
it is not possible to have VLAN put on a wireless interface in station mode bridged with any other interface.
so does this deny all the setup above ???
we suppose to put vlan on wlan which is in station mode !!!
main ROS :
vlan1 on eth1 , vlan1 ip=192.168.3.1/24
dhcp1 on vlan1
rb01 connected to main ros through eth1 :vlan1 on eth1
wlan1 ap-bridge
bridge1 = wlan1+vlan1
eth1 ip = 192.168.3.10/24
i connected to rb1 wlan1 with a PC wirless card .
now i can do the following:
1-getting ip from dhcp1
2-ping from my PC gateway , DNS , any web site , etc ..
2-ping rb01 from main ros or any other pc connected to it
what i cant do :
1-any kind of internet browsing !!!
