AP-7522 Client Bridging Isn't Working

AP-7522 Client Bridging Isn't Working

I have two AP-7522 access points. Both have version 5.9.1.4-004R. Both receive their power and network through a Symbol AP-PSBIAS-2P2-AFR "brick". I set the country name to "United States-us" on both because I read the radios will not turn on until you do.

AP#1 - This is the "host" access point connected to the wired LAN with access to the internet. The internal network is 192.168.1.0/24. I've given this AP the IP address 192.168.1.101. I configured a wireless network with SSID "myWireless", Secure-PSK, WPA2-CCMP, and the key is "myWirelessKey". Radio 1 is 2.4GHz, radio 2 is 5GHz.

AP#2 - This is the "client" access point that I want to bridge to AP#1. I have AP#2 connected to an unmanaged 5 port switch, which also connects a desktop PC. It's this desktop PC that needs access to the internet. I've given this AP the IP address 192.168.1.101. For the bridging configuration I followed the directions here (https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000082884)

  • en
  • conf t
  • profile
  • interface radio 2
  • rf-mode bridge
  • bridge ssid myWireless
  • bridge vlan 1
  • bridge encryption-type ccmp
  • bridge authentication-type none
  • bridge wpa-wpa2 psk 0 myWirelessKey
  • no bridge eap username
  • no bridge eap password
  • bridge eap type peap-mschapv2
  • bridge roam-criteria missed-beacons 20
  • bridge roam-criteria rssi-threshold -75
  • bridge channel-list 5GHz 36,40,44,48
  • bridge channel-list 2.4GHz
  • comm wr

However when I run "show wireless bridge candidate-ap" it reports 0 candidate APs. AP#1 shows no wireless clients. The workstation can successfully ping AP#2 and vice versa. I am able to reach the web interface and ssh on AP#1 on the 192.168.1.0/24 network. But AP#1 can't ping AP#2 and vice versa. Nothing on the 192.168.1.0/24 network can ping AP#2 or the desktop PC. The desktop PC cannot reach anything on the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Right now both APs are in the same room, 10 feet from each other, no physical obstacles between them.

In my searching I also found (https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000063492) I tried the solution there but it didn't help.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or what I'm missing?

Additional questions:
1 - Do I have to configure any bridging properties on the AP#1 that is connected to the wired network with internet access? None of the guides I've read mention anything about configuration on the "host" AP, but since I can't get this working I'm wondering if some configuration is necessary on AP#1.

2 - Do I have to load a special firmware version to be able to access bridging configuration in the web GUI? Right now none of those configuration options are there and I have to do everything through ssh/command line. I know this was the case for some APs in the past that didn't have a web GUI at all and you had to download the firmware that included the GUI.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

yes, there is weekend support. Someone should be able to help you with that.

Apparently I have to be approved before I can download the latest firmware. Do you know if anyone is monitoring that over the weekend? I don't want to sit and watch my Inbox if nobody is going to get to it until Monday.

This all looks correct, Aaron. Hoping that the firmware upgrade gets things going at this point.

I'm going to start working on a firmware upgrade now.
