NS5 loco vs. Mikrotik CM9 L2 transparent link?

Hi folks,

At this moment link works as transparent bridge between NS5 ap-wds and NS5 client-wds, i need to migrate it to scheme MT AP - NS5 client.
And here is issue. Mikrotik is in classical ap-bridge, RB is a router. If i setup NS5 to “client wds” mode - it wouldn’t connect to AP (IMHO due to WDS mode). If i setup NS5 in pure client mode - i have an issue with default arpnat rule - client registered, i can ping the NS5 but a can’t ping any host behind it.


How can i configure tranparent bridge on nanostation5 loco? Resp. what i do wrong?

ROS 4.5 (tested with 3.30 - same result) @ RB433AH/CM9, NS5 XS5.ar2313.v3.4.4390.090521.1803 , tested with 3.5 - same result.

Note: i don’t need a transparent link between two networks:

(mt1-cm9) ----------------(ns5)–(mt2-ether1)

mt1 and mt2 are routers, so i need L2 transparent link between CM9 on mt1 side and eth1 on mt2 side (we are using routed network w/ OSPF)

Do you have WDS enabled on the MT AP?
