Outdoor Mesh AP Ethernet Bridging Problem
Hi All,
I've setup 6 X 1522 MESH APs.
Setup:
There is 1 RAP and the rest are MAPs. All APs have already successfully registered with the WLC (4402-50), with the RAP being the hub and all other MAPs a single hop away. APs are all in VLAN 10 (same vlan as the AP manager) and the WLC management interface is in VLAN 9. Bth VLANs are routable to each other. All APs are configured with Ethernet Bridging checked and all are configured with the same bridge group name. The switchports (Fa0/8) for each switch connected to each AP is configured to be trunk mode with native Vlan of 10. All switches are also configure with other VLANs such as VL20 - 30 besides the mentioned VL9 & 10.
Problem:We tried to bridge VLAN 20 across the wireless bridge by plugging a notebook(A) to a switchport (Fa0/1: sw mode access & sw ac vl 20) belonging to a switch connected to MAP1; and another notebook(B) also plugged in to a VL 20 access port whose switch is connected to the RAP. From notebook A, we were able to ping all relevant IP addresses (notebook B, WLC management IP, VL 20, VL30 ip addresses of equipment somewhere else in the network behind the RAP). This means the wireless bridge is already working as VL20 is already bridge across th MAP and RAP. However, when we tried to do anything else, such as ftp, IPERF, some other TCP dependent application, it doesn;t work. we setup a FTP server on notebook B and used notebook A to retrieve a file. ftp client in notebook A was able to perform login, list directory. But when a file is being pulled, it stopped after it downloaded exactly 1024byte of information. FTP will timeout after a while with only 1024byte transferred. However, using tftp, we were able to complete transferring the entire file. It seems that the wireless bridge or the switches which the hosts were connected to allows tftp (UDP) to go through but restricted big packets/blocks of TCP information to go through (since only file transfer or any other application involving larger data exchange fails, but logging in and telneting applications still works).
Very puzzled as we had previously configured wireless bridging before on the same model of APs and it was working.
Can any experts here offer any advise to our problem?
BTW, the WLC is on the latest version of the MESH firmware as of today. All APs gets their IP address dynamically from a router in VLAN 10 configured with the correct DHCP pool and option 43 parameters. DHCP should be working well as our APs are all registered with the correct range of IP addresses and all APs are pingable from anywhere in the network. LinkSNR between the RAP and the MAPs are very good ranging from 30-38 hence it should not be an issue of poor signal or interference or noise.
Thank you
Alvin
I've personally not configured the MESH gear to form a bridge, so I can't provide any "real world" expertise. Here is short document on how to set it up, so maybe something within it will catch your eye:

Hi all,
I'm running a 2106 with version 6.0.196.0. I'm running a couple indoor 1131s on it for regular client access successfully, but my problem is with trying to Ethernet Bridge Wireless Mesh two 1522s. I have placed the 1522 MAC addresses in the MAC Filter. I have Ethernet Bridging radio set on both the RAP and the MAP. I have the RAP and MAP connecting(They see each other as AWAPP neighbors, I can ping the MAP from the wired LAN, and it registers to the WLC, but I can't seem to bridge through these APs. I tried setting the Switchport attached to the RAP as an access port were the WLC and other APs sit as well as tried trunking it, making that same WLC vlan the native vlan. I also tried creating a separate AP group for the 1522s...no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?/* Style Definitions */

Indoor WLAN and outdoor mesh is not supported on the same WLC at the same time.
So you cannot mix 1131s and 1522s on the same controller.

WLC 2125 with 2x 1520 Mesh Points - Ethernet Bridging
Hi - I'm looking for assistance with a new Mesh set up we are deploying, the solutions consists of:
1x Wireless LAN Controller 2125
2x 1520 AP/Mesh Points
What we are trying to achieve is to bridge two networks together, I have followed the Cisco configuration guide and I simply can't get the traffic to cross from one side to the other. The WLC can see both 1520's on either side of the mesh network and I appear to have set it up right.
Here is how everything is set up:
- Local network (Class B, 10.0.0.0/16) connected to Port 1 on the WLC.
- 1520 is connected to Port 2 on the WLC via g0/0 with an IP address of 10.0.3.110 (management network, 10.0.3.111 for the wlan-management network) - this is set up as the RootAP, with ethernet bridging enabled and the bridging group set to rsqmesh.
- 2nd 1520 is around 800ft away set up as a MeshAP with ethernet bridging enabled and the bridging group set to rsqmesh. Small 5-port switch (non-cisco) connect to g0/0 on this 1520 with a device attached which has the IP of 10.0.3.37.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig.Bridging will not work if the RAP is directly connected to the controller. But CSCsk15792 is filed on this issue. If you put a switch between the controller and RAP traffic should start flowing.

Well, i just bought a hawking Ethernet bridge. i set it up according to the manuel, and now i plue it into the back of my mac and it computer doesn't work. i try and set it up manually, but it won't connect. anyone have any ideas?
Hi,
Is it this model? Are you trying to connect to a wireless router / base station (if so, which model?) or directly to another computer/device? Has the correct mode been chosen? What about the security settings (WPA, if possible)? What about TCP/IP settings? You may have to provide us with more information to begin with.

WET11 Ethernet Bridge Problems
Hello! Quick question I hope... Approximately 6 months to a year ago I picked up an old G3 with the hopes of simply using for internet.
We bought a wet11 bridge and I got it all hooked up after literally 5 hours of toiling. (I'm not very expierienced with networking wirelessly especially with the different settings of a mac)
Long story short, we painted my sisters room and we unplugged her wireless bridge in the process and now when we plugged it back in the internet doesn't work. Could anyone either walk me through the process or at least point me in the right direction of an instructional website?
I'm embarassed to admit that I completely forget the steps I used to set it up in the first place.
The help I've recieved through these discussion boards has been really helpful and I appriciate any advice anyone has to offer.
Thanks again!a router should be easier to deal with than a bridge actually. linksys products all work in a similar way, you type in the default IP address for the device in your browser and that will connect you to the device. the linksys technical support page seems to indicate that itss http://192.168.1.1
One thing you might want to try is resetting the factory defaults on the router. it may have been previously set up different and that could be making things more difficult. There should be a button someone on the device you can hold down for 30 seconds or so that resets it. Once that is done, the default password for the router is reset as well, so you need to put in "admin" without the quotes in the password field (login name remains blank). -
Mesh Ethernet Bridging with VLAN Tagging Issue
Hi all.
I'm a little stuck with a 4400 7.0.220.0 + RAP 1550 + MAP 1260 Ethernet bridging issue. I'm using the VLAN tagging functionality and I'm finding that periodically a VLAN that I've tagged on the MAP will deregister from the backhaul and stop passing traffic. If I go into the Mesh tab on the MAP, select the wired interface, remove the VLAN from the list of tagged VLAN IDs and then add it right back to the list, its starts passing traffic again.
Has anyone else seen this? I can't find any relevant bugs.
JustinHi Saravanan,
It is one RAP and three MAPs. After a TAC call and 30 hours of monitoring, my VLANs have remained registered. I think the issue was mismatched VLANs to bridge groups an it looks like the mesh bridge may be stable for now. Here is what I was seeing on the RAP and MAPs when the VLANs were deregistering unexpectedly. Notice how VLANs 2 and 10 are mapped to opposite bridge groups on the RAP and MAP:
After I removed all the VLAN IDs from the Trunk configuration on the MAPs (through each AP's Mesh tab -- Ethernet Bridging config) and then rebuilt the VLAN IDs, I ran the same commands and now see this:
My very unscientific theory here is that the mismatching was causing consistency checks to fail, so the RAP was just tearing down the registrations after getting bogus or non- responses from the MAPs during the periodic VLAN registration maintenance checks (debug mesh ethernet registration).
If I have continued issues, I'll post back with updates.
Thanks for the response!

Dual RAP Mesh Network vs PTP Wireless Ethernet Bridging to provide link redundancy
Currently looking at a few options to optimize a current point-to-point wireless LAN-to-LAN connectivity shot for a wired customer site for better redundancy (hardware diversity and/or logical path diversity). Currently the customer is fed via an older solution, using two Cisco 1522 APs with Cisco Aironet 14-dBi Path Antennas (AIR-ANT5114P-N) for a 5-GHz PTP wireless ethernet bridge (under 3km), in which one 1552AP hangs off a L3/L2 Distro switch and the customer's 1522AP hangs off a 3750X switch, which has another access switch hanging off it via a fiber run of about 2km, which is exposed in parts and can't be re-run again due some limitations.The customer doesn't utilize any wireless services. Due to their location, we can't connect them to our wired distro infrastructure directly via fiber.
Looking at setting up two wireless shots (instead of just one currently used); 5-GHz point-to-point bridges using upgraded gear: Cisco 1552EU APs with Cisco Aironet 14-dBi Path Antennas (AIR-ANT5114P2M-N) or straight Exalt r5005 solution. The PTP shot will hang off two seperate distro switches for redundancy purposes, pointing toward the customer site at two seperate locations, spaced apart by approximately 1 to 1.5 km, so that they aren't at the mercy of being isolated on one side if they have another fiber cut which connects their two main access switches together. If need be, we can hang two main APs on one distro facing two APs at the customer site, since this would create some redundancy, just not the same level as above.
The below is what I'm really unsure on.
Possibly looking at setting up a mesh network using Cisco 1552E APs with 2.4 GHz Omni-directional antennas (either a 2.4/5GHz Terrawave MIMO Omnidirectional antenna or Cisco AIR-ANT2547V-N antennas, which ever is best) with two RAPs, one RAP hanging off one distro and the other RAP hanging off another distro for hardware diversity, both under the same bridge group name and both RAPs hanging off the same WLAN management SVI subnet on the distros. The customer site will have two 1552E MAPs located at two seperate sites, as pointed out above. I don't think a third AP would be needed, since they don't use wireless services. Since there would be only two RAPs, not three, would it be best two set-up this with both RAPs on the same channel to minimize convergence time should the mesh transfer from one RAP to the other RAP, as long as both RAPs are spaced apart under ???? distance to avoid interference/other issues? Looking at some documenation, it appears you can have a MESH network, as long as your MAPs and RAPs fall within a 2 mile range area, preferably closer to a 1 mile range area (for better bandwidth & reliability). This solution has been brought up as possible dual-homed solution in theory, by virtue of having two more more MESH APs fall within the range listed above, to the RAPs. From a layer 3 perspective, I'm not sure what the most optimal idea to run with in this scenario set-up would be. Possibly set-up two seperate user SVI VLANs (for their data services), one placed on each access switches these MAPs will hang off at the customer site, & using the same management SVI subnets as the RAPs for the wireless managment side (for accessing the APs). From my understanding, the user data SVI doesn't matter from the perspective of when the mesh transfers from one RAP to another, it should be transparent to them. The distro switches will just have the management SVIs placed on them for the RAPs, the user SVIs will be placed local on the access switches only. And all APs will hang off access ports set to the management VLAN ID.
In my opinion, the PTP 5-GHz, dual distro homed solution makes the most since for wired client access, but since the latter option was brought up, it has to be weighed - plus I'm curious if it can work.The Exalt r5005 works great for redundancy PTP links. You have to use the sync cable between the two co-located bridges and also set the polarization on the bridges. You can then use routing or spanning tree to decide traffic path. With mesh, you will have to make sure you set the parent or else the maps will keep switching perhaps.

Hi,
I've a WLC 2106 and it is running IOS version 7.0.240. I am trying to setup a wireless mesh and used the ethernet bridge port on the MAP to extend the network. The wireless mesh works fine but I can not get the switch to work that is connected to the ethernet port on the MAP.
I'm using two different Access points. I'm using a Air Cap 3502i as the RAP and a Air Lap1142N as the MAP.
The switch port that is connected to the RAP and MAP is configured as the following:
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk native vlan 2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40
The RAP etherbridge port is enable and set to: normal
The MAP etherbridge port is enable and set to: Trunk,
native vlan is set to: 2
Vlan id 10
Vlan id 20
The wireless mesh between the RAP and MAP works fine. I can connect a device to the MAP wirelessly and access the network with no problem but I can not get anything to work that connects to the switch that is connected to the MAP ethernet port.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I would open a TAC case as this is a bug. I don't recall what code it stopped working but I know it doesn't work also in the v7.3 & v7.4

Ethernet Bridging - Client DHCP issue
Good Afternoon,
We are having a strange issue taht i am sure others have run into before.
Currently we have a WLC 5508 with 2 1552 Outdoor Mesh APs running code 7.4.100.0.
We one configured as RAP and one as MAP. This is essentially setup just as a backhaul (trunk link). We ahve the RAP setup as Normal and the MAP setup for Trunk. We have configured to pass all VLANs we need (pruning). The mesh link works as expected the only issue is when we try to connect a client to a access port (VLAN 18) on a switch the MAP side (ethernet bridged). We are unable to get a IP address assigned.
However. We can statically configure an address in that network and Unicast traffic works just fine. It appears the broadcast traffic is not making it across the Mesh link.
Thoughts?With mesh, you do not need to enable ethernet bridging at all. All the traffic should tunnel back to the WLC as if the mesh ap was a local mode ap. Make sure that if you are using AP Groups that the WLAN to vlan mappings are correct. The other thing is that you should be on v7.4.121.0 and also make sure you have uploaded the latest FUS 1.9.0.0 onto the WLC for stability. I have mesh networks on both v7.4.121.0 and v7.6.120.0, working just fine.

Can you use a 3600 for an Ethernet bridge??
Can you use a Cisco 3600 to do a P2P bridge? Using the MAP's ethernet port to connect to a remote LAN? On that remote LAN can you have lightweight APs that connect to a controller on the RAP side?
Can you use a 3600 for an Ethernet bridge??

Check - Converting Indoor Access Points to Mesh Access Points
Ethernet bridging has to be enabled for the following two scenarios:
1. When you want to use the mesh nodes as bridges.
2. When you want to connect Ethernet devices such as a video camera on the MAP using its Ethernet port.
Wireless Backhaul:
In a Cisco wireless backhaul network, traffic can be bridged between MAPs and RAPs. This traffic can
be from wired devices that are being bridged by the wireless mesh or CAPWAP traffic from the mesh
access points.
Guidelines For Using Voice on the Mesh Network
• Voice is supported only on indoor mesh networks in release 5.2, 6.0, 7.0, and 7.0.116.0. For
outdoors, voice is supported on a best-effort basis on a mesh infrastructure.
other factors to note:-
#you would be running on backhaul using A radio which is prone to DFS.
#CAPWAP may not tolerent enough with AWPP convergence on MAP roaming.
#CAPWAP is more latency sensitive than voice. -
Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge not recognised
I have an original Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge (TEB) for my brand new MBP 13" retina Mid 2014 edition and I am running Yosemite 10.10.2. I connect to the internet via ethernet regularly to play online video games. I recently plugged in my TEB and found that it wasn't connecting me to the internet. I checked network preferences and tried to run diagnostics but in the network preferences it says there is nothing plugged into the Thunderbolt port. However, when I go to system information and under the hardware tab I selected Thunderbolt, with the TEB connected there is a little drop down menu named Thunderbolt bus and under it it says Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If I remove the TEB, this drop down option is not there, which gives me the impression that the computer is recognising the TEB, but somehow something is wrong with the software that isn't allowing me to connect.
Further information before any of you suggest something simple because I've tried all the simple solutions
I went to the apple store with my TEB and asked them to check if it was working, they confirmed that there is nothing wrong.
I've also used a brand new ethernet cable, one that I know is working to connect to the modem. And obviously my internet is working because otherwise I wouldnt be writing this.
So if anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem please help!
I've used the app EtreCheck and here were the results, doesn't seem like anything is wrong

Can't get ethernet bridge to connect to network
Hi
I am trying to connect my old iMac G3 (10.2) to my airport express network with an Aeropad Mini (an ethernet bridge powered by USB hub on my mac - made by Macsense).
The network is seen successfully by an iMac G5, an Intel Macbook and a PC. The connection occasionally works but more often than not it does not see my airport express - instead it connects to a self-assigned IP. Sometimes it connects then drops off halfway through. Other times it just will not connect at all.
There are no drivers and you set it up via your browser. I can connect to the status and set-up page (192.168.1.50), after entering all the Aeropad info manually, and most times it can see my Airport Express (via the Site Survey on the set-up pages). but sometimes it does not even get that far. I reset the aeropad and restart the mac many times, and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
I'm using channel 11 and it's WAP-encrypted.
Things I've tried:
updating the firmware from the macsense website
checking it's on client mode
manually entering the DNS address of my router - 10.0.1.1.
Trashing the internetconfig preferences from the library
making sure that ethernet is at the top of my network port configurations
Plugging it into a powered USB hub
Trying it on my MacBook (running Leopard).
Still can't connect - just a self-assigned IP - even on on the new macbook.
Any help would be appreciated as I really can't get this to work and it's beginning to take over my life!. I thought it was working after I entered the DNS address but it just went down again the next day.
Thanks.
Message was edited by: Joanna LeapmanThis is probably repeating the steps which you have taken already, but I thought I'd put them in one place just in case.
Problem:
If you're able to see other wireless networks but not your own. (And it works with AppleTV version 1.x)
It can be any of the following:
1. No wireless signal/out of range (check your multicast setting and put this as low as possible, check the range with other wireless devices/moving your appletv closer)
2. The wireless SSID is set to invisible/private (use "Other" on AppleTV and enter the SSID manually.)
3. The AppleTV doesn't support the channel used. (Tune the wireless to use a lower channel such as those under 10.)
4. The AppleTV is not supporting the security of your encryption.
Troubleshooting:
1. First try setting up a basic wireless network with no security, no frills such as a high multicast rate or high channel number and as a basic wireless b or g network. Position the AppleTV next to the basestation and then attempt to make the appletv connect to it. (Do not use an AdHoc network with your mac, as the AppleTV doesn't see these.) At this stage you're just trying to see if the AppleTV is even able to connect to your hardware. If this doesn't work there is possibly a larger problem at hand.
2. If this works, then move the devices to their desired locations. (This checks that it's not a range/interference issue.)
3. If this is still working, then the problem lays in a configuration setting. Firstly enable a security protocol, avoid WEP. Keep adding settings, keeping changes from the default to a minimum.
If you can't get past step 1, then it could be an issue with your wifi base station. Try getting the AppleTV to connect to a different wireless basestation (perhaps borrow one from a friend or a neighbour's unsecured network.) -
Web-based utility will not load on new wet54g ethernet bridge
I just got a WET54g ethernet bridge to connect my bluray player to my existing network (wrt54gs router). I cannot get the setup cd to recognize the bridge connected to the laptop or the router. I thought that it would be no problem, just use web-based set-up. When attempting to access 192.168.1.226 I have to enter the password three times and then a blank page is loaded. Chat support ended up getting disconnected, so no luck there. Supposedly some of the steps chat wallked me through updated the firmware through ftp download, but I feel like nothing was done since you can't access the set-up page. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm running vista if that helps.
Start it from Scratch...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WET54G(ethernet bridge), wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Follow the link here to re-configure the WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Also under the configuration type select Static IP Address : For IP Address enter : 192.168.1.226, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and save the settings...
After doing these you can unplug the Ethernet Bridge from the router and power cycle your router and the ethernet bridge both...Connect your ethernet bridge to your bluray player and test for active connection... -
WRT610N v2- Which Ethernet Bridge to buy to go with it for LG BD370 BluRay player?
I have a WRT610N v2 router, which I LOVE. I need an ethernet bridge (to connect a LG BD370) Blu-Ray DVD player. I've spoken with Linksys tech support & I'm sad to say, got misinformed. I'd actually ordered a PLS300 (which I cancelled) when I found out there weren't any updates for it. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The tech support person first told me I needed a WET610N & then changed her mind.
The WRT610N is located in the office about 15 yards from where I need to connect the ethernet support to the entertainment system. I also have a wireless printer (Lexmark Platinum PRO905 that is about 5 feet from the LG Blu ray player. Is the ethernet bridge going to interfere with the Blu ray player?
I'm just wanting to get connected to NetFlix. I've paid for this service since last spring but am just now getting around to sorting this out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIAThanks, Gollum! I've now got the WET610N ordered & the EZXS55W ethernet switch. They both should be here by Friday.
The WRT610N router is in my office, hardwired to the HughesNet modem & HP Desktop running Windows XP Pro. The two new laptops (HP dv7-3078nr and HP dv8t-1000 (both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)) and the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 AIO are in my den (about 30 feet away). Right now, the dv8 (my main laptop I keep on continuosly & the Lexmark Pro905 are both here in the den, connected wirelessly to the WRT610N.
Here is the configuration of the entertainment system:
LG 50PS60 Plasma HDTV
LG LHT854 Surround Sound
LG ACC97WK-R Wireless Rear Speaker
LG BD370 BluRay DVD Player
I have DISH network with a 722K DVR
Do I need to connect the WET610N first? Then add the bridge? This is where I am afraid I am going to mess up.
Right now, everything is working GREAT.
Do you think I need to hardwire the Lexmark printer into the switch?
Could someone please advise (in very simple steps) what I need to do to get the WET610N & ethernet bridge connected?
All I want to do is be able to download NetFlix movies! I am scared that the (((HughesNet))) is going to be the problem due to their low FAP cap. Due to my location (I am 25 miles from the closest town with wireless (Verizon, Sprint, etc) offices & have already tried 3 different wireless cards here (none of which worked due to our location).
I'm beginning to think it would have been simpler to just buy the LG BD390 (wifi already installed) & put my BD370 on eBay! LOL
Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA -
Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge
I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room. Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info. The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Problem solved and improved on
Thanks Klatch,
The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz. I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router. This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands. (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars). The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is. Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge. You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port. The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled. I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player). All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands. The first floor coverage is excellent. I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!! The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet! So.. If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router. Anything can be done with a little effort. Thanks
