Guest network and bridge mode

Hi,
my question is, why my guest network doesn't works, if my TimeCapsule works  in the bridge mode?
Someone an idea?
Thanks
Albrun

From the latest airport utility and firmware it does work.
I run the TC in bridge and setup the guest to try it.. seems to work for me.
I know there are other issues with using these .. perhaps that is what you mean.. but it does work.

  • Guest network in bridged mode (or other non-DHCP mode)

    Hello,
    I have the (Simultaneous Dual Band II) Airport extreme.
    I wanted to use it at work but creating a secure network (my printer, computers, and drives) and a guest network (no password so people can access internet).
    They already have a DHCP server (in the past I have a mistake by forgetting to turn off DHCP on a router which assigned other computers IP address (upstream) which conflicted with their DHCP server and all kinds of problems ensued).
    So I know that in Bridge Mode, the guest network is turned off.
    What are my options? I'm afraid to take if off bridge mode because of the DHCP issue. But I really want to use the dual network mode on the Airport Extreme.
    So I don't want to bring down the whole network, can i safely use something other than bridge mode? other ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any feedback
    (yes I have searched a lot for the issue but I'm not sure what to do)

    First, you question the policies about my work place (none of your business).
    Sorry for suggesting that you check the policies before you violate something that could get you fired.
    But then, you "would bet" that I hooked something wrong (could have asked).
    Sorry but that is certainly a higher probability than a router malfunctioning in that manner.
    It may not be your intention (just as it is not mine to be ungrateful).
    Not sure if you are showing that with your last post.

  • Guest Network in Bridged Mode?

    I'm wondering if you can use the Guest wifi network feature on an Airport Extreme that is in bridged mode. When I say bridged mode, I do NOT mean "extending" a wireless network (like many threads with a smiliar title seem to mean). What I mean is that I have a single Airport Extreme. I want to use it as a wireless access point, while continue to use my ISP's modem/router combo as the DHCP provider. The ISP box will have no wifi enabled. The Airport will connect to that box (via a large switch) and be convfigured as a bridge, instead of "distributing IP addresses" itself.
    I know that in this setup, a regular wireless network is not a problem. But I've never tried a regular and a guest network together, while in bridged mode. I'm hoping this is do-able, because I don't think the DHCP in the ISP box can be turned off. Plus we only planned for a single ethernet cable going up a floor to where this airport is going to live. If it is going to be the DHCP provider too, then there would have to be a second ethernet cable, so the airport can logically be between the ISP box and the switch.

    This is a valuable answer because it clarifies the one piece of the puzzle as to how this might (or might not) work.
    It is obvious that a device connecting to the base station informs the base station as to whether it is on the guest or private network through the SSID it connects to. It's obvious how one can create two overlaid networks through using two different (non-routable) IP address ranges. It's obvious how the base station --- AS DHCP and NAT HOST --- can allocate addresses in these two ranges.
    What was not obvious is how this can all propagate out to a third party DHCP server --- how would that server know to allocate IP addresses in one range rather than the other?
    But use of a VLAN tag answers that question. Very cute use of a (to home users) rather obscure part of the ethernet spec.

  • Guest access in bridge mode

    I want to set up a secure wireless network in our small office that will also allow clients to access the internet while in our waiting area. I also want to maintain our current wired network, which is connected to the internet through a Nortel router, connected to a DSL modem. Where would the Airport extreme be installed? - i.e., upstream or downstream from the router? Also, looking over Apple's network documentation, it appears that the Airport Extreme would be in Bridge mode when configured on an existing ethernet network with router, but the documentation is clear on the issue of setting up guest access in this kind of configuration.
    In case you have not guessed, I am not an IT guy, so will be grateful for any helpful suggestions

    Guest access and bridge mode are incompatible on AirPort base stations. I'd connect an AirPort Extreme to your DSL modem, connect your wired network connections to the Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme, and take the Nortel router out of service. Depending on how many wired connections you need, you may also need an Ethernet switch. Besides the WAN port, an AirPort Extreme only has three available Ethernet ports.

  • AirPort guest wifi in bridge mode v 6

    Oke... seems the configuration is a very limited to what Apple thinks are the basic needs...
    What I really miss is support for Guest network in bridge mode. It ALMOST workst in  6... a shame you can't configure a DHCP server for the Guest network when the main wifi is in bridge mode. You can enable Guest, the client just won't get any IP address... Please fix this! A really usefull function since the AirPort Extreme is used in situation where it isn't the NAT, DHCP or gateway device!
    Also it should be possible to configure the DHCP ranges for main and guest should indepently of each other... and simple disable the DHCP function for one or both. Also client isolation is a nice option.
    Please make it more Office friendly...
    Really make an more advanced view... the aiport is capable of so much more! A pitty it's potential is limited through software configuration issues...
    So make it so in the next generation of the configuration utility! Thank you

    Please tell Apple what you want here.  This support community is comprised of other users, just like you.  Apple is not here.

  • Lost my guest network and VOIP is no longer....

    Hello peeps,
    So, this is what I DID have going on (sorry for any incorrect terminogly, I'm not overly techi)..
    Centurylink Lynx 220 modem, 3rd gen TC linked to that and from the TC I HAD my VOIP (voice over internet phone?) working just fine.  2 wireless networks, one as the household main and a guest network for......... well, guests lol..
    I have been spending a massive amount of time on the phone with centurylink just of late, we pay for 8meg downloads butwhen doing speed tests we were lucky to get 1meg.  So, we got a new modem....
    and this is what I have NOW....
    Westell 7500 Modem, 3rd gen TC linked to that, bloody VOIP is NOT working, LOST my GUEST network and for love or money I can't add another one, that option seems to have completely gone AWOL.....
    On the plus side, speed test now shows 7meg of download speed..
    Any idea on what has changed?  other than the modem change??  could that of made that difference?  Any idea on how to get my life back??
    We love the option of the guest network as we can turn it on and off for my Son.. Good boy = ON  Bad boy = OFF haa haaa haaa  how I love that power
    Any info would be great.. Thank you

    Guest network apparently.. (I haven't tested) does not work in bridge mode on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12853944#12853944
    As that is the case you must run the TC as a router. Update to latest firmware and latest utility if not already maybe a help.. or a hinderance if you are already there.. visa versa .. go backwards.. Apple don't get them right all the time.
    Secondly the modem should be in bridge and using PPPoE client on the TC so it is a full router. This may solve the voip issue as well since your modem may not be setup correctly for voip.

  • Extreme in WPA2 and Bridge mode

    Extreme (802.11n) that we want to use as Access Point. Latest firmware v7.4.1.
    Setting the Extreme up with no wireless security let me connect users wirelessly with the Extreme in Bridge mode. Using WPA/WPA2 only works when the Extreme is not in Bridge mode. Using Bridge mode and WPA/WPA2 causes complete loss to the unit, even with Airport Utility.
    Thanks

    The Verizon modem/router is already providing DHCP and NAT services for the network.
    If you have the AirPort Extreme that is connected to the Verizon modem/router also setup to provide DHCP and NAT, as you state, then you have two devices both trying to provide routing services for the network.
    You only want one device providing DHCP and NAT for a network.
    You are likely not getting DHCP IP address conflicts since Apple uses a different DHCP range than Verizon, but with both devices providing NAT services, it is easy to see why you are picking up the Double NAT error.
    All of your Apple devices need to be in Bridge Mode if you want to avoid the Double NAT error.

  • AT&T UVerse, Time Capsule, and Bridge Mode

    I know that this topic has been touched on, but I've yet to find a solution to the problem I'm having with my Time Capsule. I am an AT&T Uverse subscriber which means I have their big residential gateway (RG) modem/router/VoIP/TV box in my house. I also have a 1st gen Time Capsule (TC) and an 8-port gigabit switch to feed ethernet to the wall jacks throughout my house.
    What I'm trying to setup is to have the RG provide 802.11g, the TC provide 802.11n, for the TC to feed the gigabit switch to bring 1GB ethernet to all of my wall jacks, and for everything on g, n, and ethernet to be able to see each other. I originally was using the TC alone with DMZ+, but now that I actually have some wireless-n devices, I'd really like to separate the two networks (I have a wireless-g printer and a macbook that will slow it all down).
    I tried putting the TC in Bridge mode, made an n-network and a g-network, and turned off DMZ+. The result was that RG connected devices could see into the TC connected devices and had Internet access, TC connected devices could not see out past the TC or get Internet access, except Bonjour devices were able to see each other (I have a wired Mac Mini on the TC, which could see the MacBook even when connected to the RG by wireless-g).
    Basically, I'm trying to set up the RG as my router with 802.11g, and have the TC as a switch providing GB ethernet and 802.11n. Is this possible?
    If I had the 2nd gen TC then none of this would be necessary since it has the dual radios, but I'm trying to make due with what I"ve got!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    As I understand home routers/switches, even though the RG is only 100Mb ethernet, devices on the Gb switch will communicate with each other at GB speeds as managed by the switch.
    You are correct. I interpreted your statement to mean that you wanted Gigabit throughout the network. Devices connected to the TC would indeed have the benefit of Gigabit available.
    I have another idea. You are configuring what is known as a "roaming" wireless network. The requirements here are that the TC be in "bridge mode" (It is) and that you use the exact same wireless network name (you probably are), security and password.
    Can you check the wireless security settings on the Uverse router? ATT may use different terminology. For example, you might have WPA2 Personal selected as security on the TC, but maybe something like WPA-PSK (TKIP) on the Uverse. If the security settings on both routers do not match exactly, you really have two distinct networks and they will not function as one.
    That might explain why you see some devices from one router and but not the other. What security settings do you have on both routers?

  • Guest network and multiple VLANs

    Hello all,
    I have installed a pair of 5508 controllers in our network. One controller sits inside the network and APs are configured to associate with that controller. The second controller sits on a DMZ interface off the ASA. I have a guest network configured and it works great. I would like to configure additional guest networks at remote locations. Each guest WLAN will have it's own SSID. Is it possible to map all of these to the same VLAN? Or do I need a seperate VLAN and subnet for each SSID.
    Thanks

    Scott,
    Thanks for the reply. I have created different SSIDs and mapped them to the same VLAN. Everything looks good but I'm getting some strange behaviors on the new SSIDs. It appears that users don't authenticate but I've verified the credentials quite a few times. I wanted to make sure that you could map multiple SSIDs to the same VLAN before I continued troubleshooting.

  • HOW TO CONFIGURE GUEST NETWORK AND LIMITE BANDWIDTH

    Dear all,
    Please help me how to configure internet access rule and limited the bandwidth for guest network via TMG Forefront 2010.
    Thanks you & best regards,
    Hung Viet 

    Hi，
    First you can create the new network set which is mapped to guest subnet, after that you can create access rule for this network set.
    If you want to control bandwidth, you may need 3-party tool like this:http://www.bsplitter.com/

  • X3500 "RFC 2684 Bridged" and "Bridged mode only" at the same time

    Is it possible to achive this? With some older modem i could configure one ethernet port for Bridged mode only, so that i could connect directly to Internet through that port with own ip given by my ISP, and at the same time have the modem handle NAT internet connection for WLAN and other ethernet ports.
    I really need this feature, is it possible with Linksys X3500?

    Hi, the router does not have that feature. You can only select one internet connection type at a time. You may need to check on business class modem/router; perhaps they do have that feature.

  • Specific differences between AP and bridge modes?

    I've RTFM'd everywhere but cannot find anything definitive regarding the differences between AP+client versus bridge+bridge modes.
    Presume you have a pair of AP1200's. First test case: One is in AP mode and the other is in WGB mode. Second test case: One is in root-bridge mode and the other is in non-root-bridge mode.
    In both cases traffic will pass bidirectionally from one Ethernet port to the other. What, then, are the technical differences between these two situations? Do the "bridges" place less load on the AP1200's CPU? Does AP-based operation yield more diagnostic data? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each mode?
    I can't find anything that digs into the details. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. A few comments, and then a question:
    * Looks to the AP just like a standard client, so it interoperates with all APs
    What does? A 1200 in WGB mode? If so, then yes it looks like a standard client to the AP but Cisco explicitly states it will only associate with other Cisco AP's. It is not compatible with "all APs".
    If you mean a non-root-bridge looks like a standard client to an AP, that's true but the AP must be in "AP with wireless clients" mode which is not one of the test cases I was asking about.
    * No configuration required
    Of the WGB? Mine need configuration: SSID, encryption keys, etc. It's just like setting it up as an AP except for the mode you select.
    Of a (non-)root-bridge? Mine have needed configuration in that mode, too. Same as above.
    Not sure what you mean by "no configuration required".
    # Disadvantages:
    * Supports only a single wired client
    Nope, in WGB mode pre-1200 units supported up to eight wired devices. 1200's and later support up to 250 clients. Cisco docs are clear on this.
    In bridge mode I'm not aware of any wired client limits. The device is simply passing traffic between the two interfaces.
    * WGB itself is not manageable
    Not sure what you mean by "not managable".
    Back to my question: What is the difference between AP+client mode vs. root-bridge+non-root-bridge mode? Does the AP+client mode make more decisions about traffic routing or prioritization, while bridge-based operation is less "intelligent"? Something else?
    My tests show no discernable difference in throughput, even with multiple clients/nonroot bridges. When multiple users consume bandwidth simultaneously, it is shared among them just as you'd expect.
    So... what ARE the differences, as far as the decisions IOS is making, between the different modes?
    Thanks!

  • CSM route mode and bridge mode can exist at the same time?

    I'm using CSM on ver 4.x,and I used to the bridge mode for firewall load balance,for a new requset,I have to create a new server/client vlan,but the original firewall load balance was effected when I issued the server vlan command,and I'd like to use route mode for the new server farm,I'm wondering that route mode and brige mode can't exist at the same time,because it seems it doesn't make sense.Any reply will be very appreciated.

    you can use bridge mode and route mode at the same time.
    Traffic with desintation mac address being the CSM will be routed, otherwise it will be bridged.

  • Guest Network and iTunes DJ

    Is it possible for users connected to the guest network to use iTunes DJ for an iTunes library which is on a Mac connected to the main network?

    The MAC address filtering is for the main wireless network and not for the guest network.
    The guest network is different from your private wireless network.  This is very convenient especially if you always have guests in your home who would like to access the Internet.
    When guests connect to the Guest network, they can connect to the Internet but will not have access to computers and devices which are connected to your Valet or Linksys Wireless-N Router.  The Guest network is a virtual network within your private network.
    The Guest network operates on a different IP address range (192.168.33.x).  This allows your guests to connect to the Internet without becoming a part of your private network.
    The guest will need the password to the network if they want to access the Internet.

  • OpenVPN and bridge mode tunnels - Wiki'fied.
