Wireless Bridge ( AP7532 to AP7532 )

[Phil_storey]

I have two AP7532 setup as a wireless bridge, The bridge is working, On the remote side I have installed an ap7131 - I can see the SSID and connect units will get an IP, however the AP is not checking into the RFS7000, If I connect the AP to the local network it does check in

On the AP I have 3 SSID's 1 on vlan1 ( same as the RFS7k ) and 2 on Vlan 10 which leaves the network via a different route.

I can connect to the SSID on VLAN1 and get an IP, the two wifi networks on VLAN 10 are not operational at present as I have to add the VLAN info to the network switch where the AP is

Have I missed something when setting the bridge up ?

What VLANs you use for local traffic?

VLAN 1 -> controller and wifi
VLAN 2 -> wifi (bridge or local?)
VLAN 4096 -> for what?

If you use VLAN 2 local, you need to allow this on the switch and bridge. If you use it as tunnel, you don't need it on booth.

For adoption, do you use the DHCP or static?

What neighbors you can see from the AP7131? show mint neighbor

[Phil_storey]

Still not working, So the Bridge AP's is set as a trunk with allowed Vlans 1,4096

On the Ethernet switch ( Avaya 5520 ) the port is set to Trunk with allowed vlans 1,10

the controller is on Vlan1. At the remote site there is another AVAYA 5520, The port the AP is connected to is set as trunk with allowed vlans 1,10, The AP on the Ethernet port is set to allow vlans 1,4096. then on the wifi side there are to wlans one for vlan1 and the other for Vlan 2

I tried setting the adoption on the AP with the IP of the controller, but as its not checking in I'm not sure it would pickup the change ?

Thanks Timo for the clarification - Level 2 is intended for centralised deployments so I was wrong about L2 being needed

[Timo1]

It's just L1 adoption, not L1 traffic.

Enter the IP and do level 1, if it's local RF Domain. Not mix L1 and L2.

Alternative you can do DHCP adoption
Option 191=pool1=,;level=1

Configuration>System Profile>Adoption: scroll down to Controller Hostnames and add the address of the RF7X and set to use Routing Level 2. Obviously if this works and it gets adopted you will need to mirror this in the AP Profile is receives from the RF7X.

Alternatively CLI to the AP:

enable

config self

controller host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx level 2
