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 ?

Hi,

if you would tunnel the traffic for VLAN 10, don't add VLAN 10 to the AP as interface. Just configure it under the WLAN, not at the AP. If you do this and configure tunnel for the WLAN with VLAN 10, it'S tunnel.

If you make vlan 10 local at the AP available, it bridge the traffic local.

But if you need vlan 10 local at the switch, you can configure VLAN 10 with IP at all APs remote and try to ping. With this you can check, if VLAN 10 works remote and the problem is the bridge.

Hi Timo

The wifi networks are tunnelled, To the RFS. The AP's and the Bridge are set for any VLAN 1-4094, on the trunk port or the Ethernet switch it is set as a trunk port with VLAN 1,10, On the RFS GE1 is also set as a trunk port with VLAN's 1,10

So from the AP in the remote building, I can ping the gateway on Vlan 10, But not from the remote AP, so it would seem something is missing from the Bridge setup

Ge1 is a trunk and the port on the Avaya is a trunk, VlLAN10 Its working in the main building just not in the remote building

Hi Phil

I think you might need a Trunk VLAN1, VLAN10 interface on the RFS assuming that WLAN10 on the AP is tunnelling traffic

Hi and thanks for all the replies,

The AP is now visible on the RFS, I can see the WLAN on VLAN 1 has clients attached which is great, I do have another WLAN on VLAN 10, VLAN10 works fine in the main building but although the WLAN is visible in the remote building the devices do not get an IP address. The IP is provided by an ADSL router in the main building so its not passing over the bridge, but it passes VLAN 1 traffic. Is there something else I need to check ?
