Wolverine, thanks for the good message, but subnetting isn't where I'm having the trouble. I currently have 8 of my own class c's. I have subnetted them all to all my access points, but my problem is more with deploying my first mikrotik network. I have used waverider extensively in the past as well as breezecom, trango, and deliberant. They were all mostly a bridging type network. The Waverider was a routed AP with a bridged CPE. Static addresses had to be done via natting. They later came out with a switched AP so you could do something different.
Anyway, I'm now setting up a 3650 network with mikrotik and XR3. I have 9 sectors up so far, all with a routed AP and bridged CPE's using pseudo-bridge. I have been chatting with a fellow on this board and another about using OSPF and PPPoe to authorize the cpe's and to route ip's. I thought the PPPoe for cpe's sounded like a good idea, so have been trying to get it work. So far, all my testing isn't working out so good. I'm finding that I can't do PPPoe with a bridged cpe, so I have tried to go with the cpe in station mode, but then I get into a routing issue getting statics all the way to the customers.
I'm hoping that I can learn from others on who are more familiar with mikrotik wireless who have already been through this. The guy I have been chatting with has been very helpful, but I hate to keep bugging him for answers. I know we are all very busy.
Thanks,
Tom
