My setup looks like this:
About 3-4 seconds after the Wifi connection is established, ether4 goes into discarding state. This only happens when both bridges are set to RSTP.
Why does that happen? Is it supposed to happen?
No, it is not supposed to happen…
But certainly something is causing it…
Can you try station mode instead of station pseudobridge and see if the problem persists ?
If I just switch the wifi mode to station the same thing still happens.
Is there any RSTP option on your netgear?
If yes disable it…
if the port still goes in discarding state, post the configurations of both hex and wap, /export hide-sensitive
I’ll be on site in two weeks, then I’ll get some more information. Then I’ll also export the configurations, remove sensitive data and post them.
