Transparent Networking help

Hello all,

i’m a new members in this forum, i have been reading the manual and succesfully create WDS between 2 network.

Network A:
ether1: 10.1.0.1
wireless-bridge: 192.168.0.1

Network B:
ether1: 10.1.0.2
wireless-bridge: 192.168.0.2

My question are:

  • How to NAT the network behind each router?
    i have try to use the out-interface=wireless-bridge or wlan1 or ether1,but none seems to work.

  • Should i use EoIP and how does it work? Please help me.

My purpose for this network are having network B to connect to network A’s internet connection.
Thank you so much for any reply.

Regards,
Nikolas

Looking at what you have provided… I have to assume you picked WDS for a reason - such as you want all the computers tied to it on the same network. If this is the case then WDS is the way to go. If this is not your intention, then you’ll need to expand your knowledge and learn about routing - less overhead traffic, better control of the network.

To answer your question below directly -

If you want them all on the same netwrok, setup WDS between your two radios. Create a bridge interface. Give the bridge interface an appropriate IP address. Take and add the WDS interface and ethernet interface to the bridge. You can now remove the IPs you have assiged to the WDS interface and the ethernet interface and just use the bridge interface IP. Be sure you have the correct netmask to allow all the IP addresses you want on your network. This puts ALL devices on the same network.

If you are just trying to use WDS for the wireless then don’t add a bridge. Your IPs should be on their respective interfaces. Src-nat the network on ether1 on network ‘B’ either using masq or src-nat to the IP address of your WDS. Set the default gateway on ‘B’ to point to WDS on network ‘A’.

In your Internet MT (network ‘A’) use masq or src-nat to nat your private IP space to whatever your Internet interface IP address is. Be sure to set you default gateway to the Internet IP address upstream IP (gateway).

That should get you going…
