I have a small mesh I'm testing on. 2 hAP AC2 and 1 hAP lite.
hAP AC2 'A'
hAP AC2 'B'
hAP lite 'C'
a single mesh identical and default settings on all, A set to mesh portal.
All 3 have Ap Bridge configured on 2.4Ghz with dynamic WDS and the mesh interface as the WDS target.
A & B have 5Ghz configured the same way.
A & B have an ethernet connected on ether5 which is not part of any bridge etc, but added to the mesh.
ether5 on both A & B basically refuses to work. It either doesn't show up in the FDB, or when it does it's stuck on 'outsider'
The cable is good, negotiates at 1G etc. Only if I disable the Wireless interfaces can I force traffic to go agree ether5.
ether5 has a cost of 10, the5Ghz wds interfaces all come in with 50 or 60.
traffic never automatically migrates to lower cost interfaces. Only disabling an interface will move the traffic. Seems to completely ignore cost.
I just don't get what isn't working right.
