Hi,
I was able to make bridge beetwen two SXT-5hnd going step by step throught this…www.wispforum.net/entry.php?5-How-to-Connect-two-Mikrotik-SXT-5D-s-In-Bridge-Mode-Part-I
I would like to use this bridge to send my internet connection to server. What i should do to be able to ping internet or any other network devices connected throught SXT-5hnd?
My RouterOs is 5.6
It is all about routing. You could also create bridge with ether 1 and Wlan 1 as ports of the bridge. This must be done on both SXT. This will create transparent bridge, functioning similar to a lan cable, however, routing is the way to go if you ever want to use this for more than just a simple link.
ok i know how to do it. But how to gain functionality similar to WDS? I heard that WDS with 802.11n causes with lost of speed, so possible it would be better to made transparent bridge. Do i must to add every network that i want to use to eht1 for example?
You don’t need to use WDS, that said, yes, if you use bridge, any interface you want be in bridge should be added as port for the bridge.
According to the link provided by barp21, I think he wanted something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XXn97SFH9SM#t=398s
I’ve done the same configuration and all is working fine using WDS. Turning off it, it doesen’t work.
Make sure that the firewall on the PCs doesn’t drop any packet. I’ve used Comodo and even if it was disabled, ping didn’t work. This was a very strange thing. Here is my situation
Configuration 1 without SXT. PC linked with ethernet cable
PC A: 192.168.1.11
PC B: 192.168.1.12
Ping OK
Configuration 2 without SXT. PC linked with ethernet cable
PC A: 192.168.2.11
PC B: 192.168.2.12
Ping KO
Configuration 3 with SXT.
PC A: 192.168.2.11
PC B: 192.168.2.12
Ping KO
Configuration 4 with SXT.
PC A: 192.168.1.11
PC B: 192.168.1.12
Ping OK
IT WAS THE FIREWALL!!!
