Very interest case trying transparent bridge solution

Thu Jan 26, 2023 4:16 am

Dear friends,
Today I stumbled upon the following case
I wanted to enable a transparent bridge to connect a security camera and an access controller in an elevator car, exactly like this diagram shows.

Both cAP lite with no standard configuration, absolutely no configuration at all.
The first thing I did, was configure the cAP lite on the network side, using winbox via MAC calling it MA2 with this configuration.
MA2 https://mega.nz/file/ZEgVhQyJ#OUSpEhw8n ... ZmHYjFTlNs
Once this was done, I went to the elevator car and connected my laptop to the "dumb" layer 2 switch and with winbox to the cAP lite also via MAC and configured it like this;
CA2 https://mega.nz/file/gQJVHDCT#dhgZNul4n ... bNQ9gwidPA
both APs instantly locked successfully.
Simple, right?
Surprise!!!
After this,
I don't get dhcp address from the LAN still connected to the "dumb" switch
there was no way to reconnect to CA2 via mac
however from the LAN side I can reach the AC2 and even manage it, but I cant "see" anything beyond it, neither the camera nor the controller
Has anything like this happened to any of you? what do you suggest? What do you think it is happening?
