I have a RB750G with hotspot running on 3 Ethernet port each port has its own DHCP server and IP range. I want to move all the 3 Ethernet ports to use a single IP range (issue IPs from same IP pool. Is it possible and how do I do it?
either add those ports to switch (set master-port for slave ports) and work with master port, or add those interfaces to bridge and use bridge as main interface
If i bridge them or add them to switch, I cannot use the individual hotspot login html files since they are all different since each Ethernet port has a hotspot running and each hotspot has different information on the login page.
so why do you need the same IP pool?..
I wanted all hotspot users to get the similar IP addresses regardless where they connect from.
aren’t 192.168.N.0/24 for etherN similar? =)
They are similar. I was hoping if I could do away with many IP-pools.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I had a hotspot with multiple ethernet ports bridged together for a while, had constant problems, especially with Vista users. Never could figure out what the issue was, but I finally did as you and made each port separate ip/pool/hotspot server. Fixed most of the issues I was having. I don’t know if Master/Slave would have worked. Never tried that. The other nice thing about separate ip’s is that if I have an issue with one client, I immediately know by his ip which AP he is on and which ethernet.

Thanks for the heads up. I think i will just remain with the current setup. I can easily know where each client is connecting from.
