Trunking across a wireless bridge

Hello,
I have two 1240's and they are bridged together, is there anyway to trunk across their link? I wasn't sure if there was a way to set them up to do trunking.
Thanks,

Use this Wireless, LAN (WLAN) Configuration Examples and TechNotes. For wireless bridge trunk configuration purpose.

Sending specific Vlan across wireless bridge

Hello All,
I would like to know how I can send a specific VLAN across a wireless bridge. Currently, we have a building across the street from our main office that's connected via a wireless bridge (no physical cabling). One of the switches in building 1 has a port in VLAN 206 (10.20.6.0/24) which connects to the wireless bridge (10.20.6.3) on that building. The wireless bridge in building 2 is 10.20.6.4 and connects to a router on the same subnet. So both bridges, the switch in building 1, and the router in building 2 are all on the same subnet. I need to send VLAN 60 across this wireless bridge so that the workstations in building 2 can go out to the Internet. As a side note, VLAN 60 is unrouted and is it's own subnet which has it's own firewall and web filter. My thought on this is that if I can get the wireless bridges to send VLAN 60 to building 2, then all I would need to do is add the workstations to that VLAN on the switch in that building and all should be well. I'm just not sure what I need to configure on the bridges and how building 2 should be configured seeing that the 2nd bridge connects to a router instead of a switch. Any tips, suggestions, and help would be great!
Thanks,
Terence

assume that i have two bridges Br-root , and Br-nonroot and i want to send traffic from multiple vlans across the wireless link, all you need to have is infrastructure-ssid on the native vlan. Then define the required subinterfaces on both radio and ethernet of root and non-root.
Example: ( vlan 1 , 2 , and three )
Root(config)#dot11 ssid test
                 #authentication open
                 #vlan 1
                 #infrastructure-ssid
                #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11radio 0
                 #ssid test
                 #station-role root bridge
                 #no shut
                #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11rdio0.1
                 #encapsulation dot1q 1 native
                #bridge-group 1
               #exit

                 #encapsulation dot1q 2
                #bridge-group 2
               #exit
Root(config)#interface dot11rdio0.3
                 #encapsulation dot1q 3
                #bridge-group 3
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.1
                 #encapsulation dot1q 1 native
                #bridge-group 1
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.2
                 #encapsulation dot1q 2
                #bridge-group 2
               #exit
Root(config)#interface fa0.3
                 #encapsulation dot1q 3
                #bridge-group 3
               #exit
for the non-root , same config but the station-role should be non-root

Voice vlan priority across wireless bridge network

Hello,
If you have a separate voice vlan across a wireless bridged network, how could you configure qos to put the entire voice vlan in priority over the data vlan ?
Thanks.

Hi Antonis,
Have a look at these docs. Hopefully they will help get you started;
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Outdoor Access Point/Bridge Software Configuration Guide, 12.3(4) JA
Chapter 14 - Configuring QoS
This chapter describes how to configure quality of service (QoS) on your access point/bridge. With this feature, you can provide preferential treatment to certain traffic at the expense of others. Without QoS, the access point/bridge offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless of the packet contents or size. It sends the packets without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00804158a6.html
Giving Priority to Voice Traffic
This section demonstrates how you can apply a QoS policy to your wireless network's voice VLAN to give priority to wireless phone traffic.
In this example, the network administrator creates a policy named voice_policy that applies voice class of service to traffic from Spectralink phones (protocol 119 packets). The user applies the voice_policy to the incoming and outgoing radio ports and to the outgoing Ethernet port for VLAN 77.
Use the Apply Policies to Interface/VLANs drop-down menus to apply policies to the access point Ethernet and radio ports. If VLANs are configured on the access point, drop-down menus for each VLANs' virtual ports appear in this section. If VLANs are not configured on the access point, drop-down menus for each interface appear.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5861/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00804158a6.html#wp1047736
Hope this helps!

Wireless bridge - encrypting all VLANs

I'm bridging two VLANs across a wireless bridge link. I have the following configuration:
dot11 ssid bridge
vlan 1
authentication open
interface Dot11Radio1
ssid bridge
station-role root bridge
interface Dot11Radio1.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
bridge-group 1
interface Dot11Radio1.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
bridge-group 2
interface FastEthernet0
interface FastEthernet0.1
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
bridge-group 1
interface FastEthernet0.2
encapsulation dot1Q 2
bridge-group 2
If I want to encrypt this link with WEP on all vlans, which configuration would apply?
this?
int dot11radio1
encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 63D14E186CB92CC74122FD345E51 transmit-key
encryption mode wep mandatory
this?
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
or this?
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
encryption vlan 2 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 2 mode wep mandatory

if anyone's interested, it appears that this config is enough:
int dot11radio1
encryption vlan 1 key 1 size 128bit 7 803EC038BBEA5C207F4663056E3B transmit-key
encryption vlan 1 mode wep mandatory
apparently, all VLANs become encrypted just with this config. WEP configuration for additional VLANs is ignored. I configured mismatching keys for vlan 2 on both sides, I could still bridge vlan 2 traffic.
This of course applies to bridging only. AP configuraiton would require correct keys for all vlans.

WAP200E wireless bridge not passing data

Just setup two WAP200E's, the bridge is "Connected" as I look Status > System Performance in both WAP's. However, I cannot get to the LAN from one network to the next. Cannot even ping the WAP's from either side.
I already have two WAP200E's on this network, that have been working well for month (164 day uptime), and they are configured with a wireless bridge between them, both networks on the same LAN (same 192.168.2.x network on either side). The bridge names are different, different from the main WiFi in the building, too (if it makes a difference), and the static IPs the WAPs have don't appear to have any conflicts on the network.
This is actually three buildings, one is the main one with a Cisco SR520 for a router, and a Cisco SF 200-24P switch. So two WAP200E's go into this switch now, and I see them both fine when going into the management interface. Then each of the other buildings has one WAP200E, and a small Netgear 8 port PoE gigabit switch at each building to power the WAP.
The Netgear switches aren't managed, and I've made sure any features like STP, VLANs, etc. are turned off. And the Cisco SF 200 switch is set at auto and all the defaults mostly, particularly for the ports. I tried doing a SmartPort for this latest WAP200E and that didn't change anything, tried disabling STP for it too, and no change. The PoE port for the working WAP200E is identical in config to the PoE port for the new WAP200E, and both show forwarding, all VLANs admitted (none are enabled, no VLAN tagging, etc.).
So now I am wondering if I can have two WAP200E's into one switch? Or two bridges on the same LAN subnet? Or is there something else I am missing or should configure?

I just resolved this after reading through the community posts on people not pinging across a wireless bridge. After reading one of them it was suggested to try another channel. Seemed odd since I would see success in and packets and bytes being sent and received in the WAPs.
I ended up changing the SSID name to some a little different an changed the channel from 3 to 10 in both units. Worked instantly and has been rock solid now.

About Wireless Bridge Failover idea

I would like to set up 2 pair wireless bridge between two site . 1 pair wireless Bridge for normal use. another pair wireless Bridge is used when another pair wireless bridge link is fail
Building A
1 set Cisco Outdoor AP For Exising use (GB C AP)
1 set Cisco Outdoor AP For Back UP (GB D AP)
Building B
1 set Cisco Outdoor AP For Existing use (GB C AP)
1 set Cisco Outdoor AP For Back UP (GB D AP)
Building A
All AP (GB C & GB D AP)connect to cisco 2960 switch
Building B
As same as Buiilding A - All AP (GB C & GB D AP)connect to cisco 2960 switch
For this case, do you have what method for failover solution.
when GB C AP Link is down, data traffic can change to GB D Link to route.
Is it idea possible?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
See whether below post helps you, where I have posted a sample configuration for load balance traffic across two wireless bridge links.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4125800#4125800
I doubted you can configure etherchannel across two wireless bridge links. If you configure two independant bridges & pass same vlans then one end switch ports will be get blocked by STP.

Wireless Bridge Resilient Trunk Link

Hi Community folk,
I need some advice on how to set up a dual (resilient) wireless bridge link.

I have each pair of bridges configured trunking vlan 82 native and user vlan 570. Individually they are fine and I get management access on vlan 82 to both bridges and the switch at the remote end of the link, clients patched in to the switch at the remote end in switchport access vlan 570 also get the correct IP address and subsequent access to network resources, individually they are working well. rapid pvst is configured across the network as there are dual 1Gb connections to all access layer switches and this also works fine. My problem is when I enable the second bridge link, this seems to cause a network loop and essentially takes down the whole network, I have left it for a while to see if spanning tree convergence is taking a while but no luck, as soon as I disable the second link everything calms down and I have a good network again. I am posting my root and non-root bridge configurations here but only one of the pairs, the other pair is configured identically but has a different SSID, PSK and channel configured:

Hi Rockford,
This should be possible. Check the primary switch set to spanning tree root for your vlans & two different bridges connected ports having different STP port priority for vlan 82 & 570.
Since you are having STP loop I think ports get shutdown.
In case if could have L3 seperation between these two buildings, then you can load balance traffic between those two radio links. Here is a reference post which I posted some tested config for that scenario.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12041146/good-solution
If I get time I'll see whether I can do similar thing for your config requirement

Wireless Bridge no longer reachable

The mac-address for the BVI on the wireless bridge is not attaching itself to the interface on the 6513 switch. We recently changed the vlans at the campus. At first I thought I had a vtp pruning problem but ended up being a spanning-tree problem. This got fixed yesterday. Everything worked fine until this morning. Now I can't even ping the WAP. There are 2 vlans on the bridge. The other vlan has 3 mac-addresses attached at the interface. My BVI on the management vlan is not. I have tried resetting the port and even moving the cable to a different port. I still get nothing. When I do a show arp on the switch that does the routing for the school I get the mac-address but when I do the show mac-address-table I get nothing. When I console in on the WAP I can't ping out from it.
I attached the bridge config on both sides. The one I am trying to get to has the BVI 1 ip address 10.60.0.222.
When I check the interface to both the 6513 and the WAP both show up and up. And there are packets being sent over on that native vlan. But I think this is only because of the connection to the other side. It does show that both sides of the bridge are connected.
Any ideas?

I had to replace both WAP to recreate the bridge. Whatever was going on with the other 2 I don't know. I send ping and telnet traffic on my management vlan.
I am trying to send traffic on 3 other vlans but no success. A computer connected to one of these vlans can't even ping its default gateway even though it did get an IP from the DHCP server. The dot11radio0 sub interfaces are configured for each of the vlans and so is the fast ethernet sub interfaces on both sides. The vlans are allowed on the trunk.
When consoled into the switch I can ping the default gateways of each of the vlans.
Here is the config on both sides:

Print Sharing across a wireless network.

Hello fellow Macsters,
I am trying to share my HP printer across my wireless network. here is my network setup. I have a wireless network throughout my house. an iMac 20'' desklamp without an airport card is connected to a belkin router via an ethernet cord. That router creates my wireless network, allowing my iBook G4 to conenct to it wirelessly. The wireless signal is continued by an AX in WDS bridge mode, on the second floor of my house. Currently, I can share the printer connected to the iMac, but only when the iMac is on. I would like to be able to share it without leaving the computer on. I know there are multiple ways to do it, but do not know the specifics of them. Could somebody please tell me what they are. Thank you very much.

Well if its a non network HP printer it will have to be a AEBS. HP dosent make network operable drivers for thier non-network ready printers s and thos eprinters tend to only be PCL and not PostSCript. Since all the network print protocols on the mac rely on PS youre out of liuck unless its connected directly to MAC hardware.
If youre geeky and feeling ambitious you can probably finde a driver/ppd withh the support you need on linuxprinting.org but good luck trying to get it to work properly. I tried without success for a week to get our HP3500CLat work to work over any network protocol i could get my hands on with no luck. if you (or anyone else reading this) fares better please let me know...

Wireless Bridge needed. Will it work ?

Hi,
I need to run connectivity between two racks in a datacentre (about 10 metres apart). About 15Mbps b/width needed.
I have installed a CAT5e cable between the two racks (with two redundant switch-pairs in each). Only thing is, if that cross connect cable gets cut or the switches go down, I have no second path.
I need a second route:
I am thinking about running a couple of wireless bridges between the racks (and utilize Rapid Spanning Tree to "block" the wireless route). All done via Layer2.
1) I assume my design with RSTP would work ?
2) Despite both antenni's being inclosed in metal racks, I am hoping the signal strenth would be strong enough across a 10 metre distance.
(bare in mind it's a data centre with lots of metal)
3) Any suggestions on products, this need to do this on a budget
Many Thanks for reading.
Hope someone can help.
Kind Regards
Matt

Thanks for the response.
Not possible: I cannot run a second cable.
I am hoping 2x Cisco WET200 bridged will do the job, they are cheap (approx £80 each)
If it works it will be a nice reduundant layer2 path
Regards
Matt

Trouble with wireless bridge......

I am having extreme difficulty setting up Cisco Aironet 1310 series devices. here is an overview:
We have our main network with an ip scheme of 10.1.1.0/24 on one side and an office across the street that is on 10.1.2.0/24.
I want to connect these 2 networks via wireless bridge. We do have a PTP T1 between the 2 sites that is used to carry VoIP traffic and data, but I want the data moved to the wirless bridges.
I put the bridges on their own network of 192.168.1.0/28 and I am using 2 switches with their own VLANS on the same network as the bridges.
No matter what I try, I can't get traffic to flow properly.
does anyone have any suggestions or can they point me in the right direction. It is driving me crazy!
thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the response.
AP's are running in "root" and "non-root" mode and they are able to talk to each other ok. Just can't get the traffic to flow from point A to B (the main network, through the wireless bridges, over to the remote network and back again), then back from B to A. The traffic either loops or bounces back and forth between the firewall and the switches. I suspect I need t tweak the gateways on each of AP's as well.
Right now, the gateways are set to point to the VLAN set on the switch of the opposite side. This way, traffic hits the AP and is forwarded through to the opposite VLAN.
I am using seperate VLAN's to seperate the traffic but have not tried to associate with a specific SSID as of yet.

Wireless Bridge between 2 building

Hi !
I need a wireless bridge between a second building (across the street, about 100' direct) to our main building and a switch.
Can anyone recommend me a good products/solutions.
The purpose of this bridge is to connect the remote office via a small Cisco Switch with 6 computers, and 6 IP Phones w/video.
Thanks !

The 1300 comes in two flavors, one with internal antenna and the other with external antenna connectors. For the distance you indicated I would use the internal antenna model, it is rated for up to 1.25 miles and requires less accuracy in alignment than the YAGI antenna. I believe the spread of the signal is 15 degrees on the built in antenna.
The YAGI could be used with the external antenna model but will limit your exterior coverage for users other than the remote bridge.

Vlan traffic is not passing through Wireless Bridge

Hi,
Recently we have placed wireless bridge in our network (Cisco AIR-BR1410A-E-K9 model). Now after installing the bridge we are facing the issue like only the management interface traffic is reachable through bridge, but not able to reach other vlan traffic.
like management range is in vlan 1 (which inlcudes AP' Switch and router) and the bridge IP's are also in Vlan 1.
Switch port is kept in trunk mode both ends of bridge. still other vlan traffic is not reachable, do we have to place any special configuration for this ?
all the business users are in Vlan 3
all the sale team users are in vlan 123.
now problem is other end switches are reachable for me through bridge that is in vlan 1, but vlan 3 and vlan 123 are not reachable for me.users are not getting IP's, when we assigned the static ip address and tested still it is not working.
i am attaching my wireless bridge configuration in the discussion, please help on this issue.
Root Bridge ---- Non--Rootbridge--- Cisco Switch--Cisco Switch..
now i am able to those two switch also, but not able to reach the vlan 3 users who are connected to that switches.

Hi,
infrastructure-ssid has been placed at both end still not able to get IP's to the devices.
I am not able to attach txt files in the reply, could you please let me know your email ID so that i will send the config files to your ID.

1532i Wireless Bridge Confusion (CAPWAP)

I'm working on setting up a wireless bridge between two buildings that currently are connected via fiber. The fiber needs to be pulled back and re-run so we want to use the bridge as the L2 trunk while that work is being done. Right now I'm labing up the two 1532i's we will be using for the project and am running into some snags. These APs are CAPWAP, connect to the controller fine, and (finally) are able to see each other, but not pass traffic. I've got one of them connected to a test switch that I can remove from the rest of the network to validate the mesh bridge comes up, the other is in my main switch stack.
The issue I'm having trouble with is the VLAN tagging. I've set the native vlan on the AP (under the AP's mesh tab) to that of the primary data VLAN (700) and have allowed a few other VLANs to pass (705 and 706). I've configured the switch uplinks to the APs as trunks - this is where I'm having a hard time. The documentation says that I need to have the trunk's native VLAN be 1 (i.e. no native vlan) - the issue is when I do this, my RAP loses connection to the wireless controller because it's BVI is not tagging the packets (I believe) for VLAN 700 and we don't use VLAN 1. If I set "switchport trunk native vlan 700" on the switch trunk interface, all is well but I get a ton of spanning-tree errors on my switch.
I know the solution is going to be a simple oversight, but MAN am I stumped. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I found that the issue is that I had the APs on the same VLAN that my user / device data was using. I found out this needs to be a "management" type VLAN as it won't pass traffic, only connects the devices. Once I changed the native VLAN off my user network and allowed that network though, all was working as expected.
