WDS Bridging with EPC2425 and EPC3925

I have a redundant Cisco EPC2425 that I want to use as a wireless bridge to connect to my current home router (an EPC3925).
I have got the channels/band/keys matching yet the 2425 is failing to connect to my home router. I have set the 2425 in bridge mode and currently can only set the wireless properties.
I have both ends of the supposed bridge referencing the other's MAC.
When I try to enter advanced settings on the 2425 I get a notice that the function has not been enabled.
What can I try to get these two boxes talking to each other?
Thank you.

Sam:
I only can help by providing the user guide for your device:
http://www.comhem.se/blob/view/-/14442/data/4530/-/manual_cisco.pdf.pdf
I can only see that you enable bridging and provide the other mac address/addresses your bridge should connect to. Nothing else.
Actually this section in the forum is not the one for your device.
You better put your question here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/small-business/wireless
Good luck

Bridging with AP1030 and Controller

Hi
I have a test enviroment with 2 ap1030 and i want to make a 5ghz bridge link with these two aps. this should be possilbe. but im not able to get it worked. i also didnt found a good documenation for this configuration.
do i need to make both aps in BRIDGE mode?
in the debugging i always get: LWAPP Join-Request AUTH_STRING_PAYLOAD, invalid BRIDGE key hash AP 00:0b:85:71:cd:a0
when i connect the "BRIDGE" ap to the lan. i set a key under zero touch config, and also tried to RESET the ap. doesnt work
anybody can help?
regards

It's pretty simple, just not well documented.
1. First, write down the macs of each AP, and connect them so they are both assoicated to the controller.
2. Enable Zero Touch Config on your controller
3. Goto the Security Page, under AAA on the left side, click on MAC Filtering.
4. Add a Mac Filter for each of the AP's Macs (Which you already wrote down)
5. Goto the Wireless Page. Select Detail on one of the APs. Change it from Local Mode to Bridge AP
and hit APPLY. The AP should reboot.
6. Repeat this step with the Other AP.
7. Once both AP's have rebooted, and reassoiated, and you have confirmed they are both in Bridge AP mode, you can unpluge one of them. Just apply power, and it should setup the AP bridge.
8 IMPORTANT You cannot do this from WCS (I've never seen the option there)
From the AP details screen, select Ethernet Bridging (check the checkbox) on BOTH of the bridges.
You should be able to plug a client into the RJ45 of your remote bridge, and pass traffic now.
THIS Step is only nessacary if you entend to use the ethenet interface on the remote AP.
If you continue to have problems, you can try this: (Try the above first, since I don't think you created the MAC Filter, which YOU MUST do)
From controller CLI "config network allow-old-bridge-aps enable"

1300 bridge with native and management vlan in different vlans

Hello,
We are going to set up a wireless bridge between two 1300 accesspoints. In our network the native vlan and the management vlan are different vlan's. Will we be able to manage the ap and switch at the "remote" site? Do we have to set up two ssid's, one for native and one for management?
regards,
Rutger

Too answer my own question:
I don't think it is possible. Things work fine by making our management vlan the native vlan on switches and ap's involved. Management IP address on the BVI1 interface and everything works!

Creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express

i am having trouble creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express. i got the airport express to connect to my network. Airtunes sees it fine. i have an iMac (running Tiger) connected to the airport express via ethernet which i was hoping to get internet on (the iMac doesn't not have built in wireless and i had a spare airport express). now the airport express is no longer visible to the airport setup assistant on that iMac. but, like i mentioned, Airtunes is working fine, and the light is green.
i'm new to the wireless stuff. i am sure i just missed a step. how do i get the iMac to connect to the internet via my airport express bridging to my airport extreme wireless network?
your help is appreciated.

You can do this with the equipment you have. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to act as a WDS main base station and configure the AirPort Express (AX) to act as a WDS remote base station. That will allow you to use the Ethernet port on the AX.
Unfortunately WDS also causes the available wireless bandwidth to be cut in half.

RV220W and RV120W WDS / Bridge

Have been using an RV220W for over a year and now need to create a bridge. Have wireless and wired clients in the same building but on the level above. I cannot run a wire, which was my first choice but that is forbidden. SInce there are wired clients, I wanted to create a bridge with the RV220W as the 'root'. Tried this with an aironet 1231G but got nowhere (slowly). Came across a post suggesting that one would have to have another RV220W's or RV120W, so I figured I'd give that a shot.
I've been trying to set up the RV120W but don't seem to be having any success. Maybe this isn't really supported.
Both are using the latest firmware (1.0.4.17 for the RV220W and 1.0.5.6 for the RV120W) . Both have the same 'Basic' settings in the wireless configuration section:
     2.4GHz
     G/N - Mixed
     20MHz
     Channel 6
Same SSID using WPA2 with same Encryption (AES) and Key. Only one SSID.
Both have WDS enabled with the same WPA key (same as the SSID key). Both have the other one set as a peer MAC in the WDS.
The RV120W has DHCP disabled, and has a fixed IP out of the DHCP range of the RV220W. The RV120W cannot ping the RV220W and likewise with anything behind the RV120W.
Can't find much info on this, outside of how to enter the info on the config screens. Can't figure out what to even look for in the logs...

1. Do a factory reset of your Airport Express to get it back into a known state per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
2. Make sure your Powerbook, Airport Extreme Base Station, and Airport Express are all - for now - in the same room.
3. With your Powerbook connected to the wireless network of the Airport Extreme Base Station (prove it by making sure you have internet access) run the Airport Admin Utility. We are going to have you clean up some settings on it first:
- make sure the Base Station is running firmware version 5.5.1. If it is running 5.6, post another message.
- under the Airport tab, make sure you have NOT checked the box to "create a closed network"
- under the Access Control tab, remove ALL table entries
- under the WDS tab, remove all entries and uncheck all boxes
Then update settings to the Airport Base Station.
4. Make sure you have the Airport 4.1 update installed on your Mac:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport41formacosx.html
5. Now run the Airport Setup Assistant. Use its guidance to configure the Airport Express as a new base station that "extends" the existing wireless network created by the Airport Extreme Base Station.

Use WAP4410N as combined AP and WDS Bridge

Can I use a couple of WAP4410N's as follows.
One unit configured as an AP, so that wireless devices can connect to it and a second configured as a WDS Bridge where I can hang a switch and a couple of wired devices in a room where ther is no hard wiring avaiable, but has direct line of sight to the AP. These devices don't have wireless capabilities.
If not, what other options might be available for this scenario.
Cheers.

After playing around with this, I think I have it working. At least in a lab environment because (see my other post) it looks like only WEP security works.
In setting this up, it appears that in the AP mode, for Access Point, you have to set the check box to allow the signal to be repeated (BTW, the manual has this 100% switched around, as it describes the check box as allowing *this* AP to act as a repeater).
However, once this checkbox is selected it looks like the AP can only be configured for a single SSID as in the Wireless Basic Settings screen, the remaining SSID fields are greyed out. Is this in fact the case, or do I have something else configured wrongly, as yet again, there are no restrictions mentioned in the manual.
Cheers.

Developing: Endless loop in Adobe Bridge with and Adobe Drive CMIS Connector

Hi
Currently I’m implementing a CMIS-Server for the dam system of my company, using the apache chemistry framework. One of the main requirements is that adobe drive works with it.
At the moment I implemented only the navigation services (getChildren, getObject, …) and the repository services and test them against adobe drive. It’s already possible to navigate through folders and read assets with ad4 and the finder. So 3 days ago I installed adobe bridge (CS6) and test my server again.
My test environment is very easy.
root(1 object)->test1(0 objects; empty)
First I’m opening my repository with adobe drive and then I switch to bridge and connect it. Bridge shows me the folder test1 with no errors. So I double-click it and now bridge is in an endless loop. The notification switch between ‘Keine anzuzeigenden Elemente’(No elements to show) and ‘Einen Moment bitte, die Suche läuft …’(Searching, please wait …). This only happens in bridge. When I open the folder with the finder it just works, without the loop.
So I logged all requests, which were send by adobe drive, and get this list.
Connecting with adobe drive
getRepositoryInfos
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document)
getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes (Why two times?)
getTypeDecendants (cmis:document) (Why two times?)
getRepositoryInfos (Why two times?)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/.hidden) (Why so often?)
getObjectByPath (/DCIM)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.Spotlight-V100)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel) …
Open the Cmis repository in bridge and doubleclick the repository
getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
Then I double click the test1 folder
getObject(cmis:folder,127)(test1)
getChildren(cmis:folder,127) -> empty list
… (endless loop)
I already checked getObject and getChildren against a reference implementation (FileShare Repository of apache Chemistry) and it returns exactly the same structure. Only the name and the timestamps are different. So my second though was to check the repository capabilities and as well they are both equal. Now I’m a little bit desperate because I spend already 3 days in try and error bugfixing but nothing worked. So here are my questions.
Is there a logfile for bridge because I thing this refreshing happens after an exception. I already checked the adobe drive log and it contains only asset not found errors for (e.g mach_kernel …).
In which circumstances does bridge reloads a folder?
Debugging of adobe drive: I already read http://forums.adobe.com/message/3928595 but it doesn’t work in AD4 any more, I only get info/error/fatal messages.(I changed the log4j config files in AD4ServiceManager.) Does something changed or did I forget something?
Why does AD4 make 2 or more times the exact same request? (Look table above).
I hope my English is good enough to understand.
Thanks

After two months I'm a little bit smarter so I can answer some of my question by my own.
No there is no logfile for bridge, but I was able to debug the scriptcode from the ad plugin, which is installed in bridge.
If an error occures in the plugin
I was able to decompile the cmis connector. That helps a lot when ad logs with weird exceptions.
Because AD maps the actions of the filebrowser(finder,explorer) to cmis and this one does sometimes the exact action two or more times.
Unfortunately is wasn't able to fix my main problem, but I found a workaround to use cmis in bridge. I deactivated the ad plugin in bridge and after that action, bride display the cmis volume as normal volume. Sadly some actions like to manage relationships etc. are with this workaround not usable but for me this is alright.

My i7 sandy bridge with optibay harddrive is running slow in diablo 3 in low setting. Before I can run ultra settings on Starcraft. It lags now even I run log in sc2!!! It gets slower and slower in game that is like slow motion!!! Computer gets hot.

Hi everyone, I been noticing my MacBook pro getting very slow in games like diablo 3 and Starcraft. This MacBook pro was bought a year ago. It is running i7 sandy bridge with a 128 Ssd. I did install optibay with a monetux xt hard drive in it.
It could run ultra setting on Starcraft no problem and is very smooth when I first got it. Lately I got diablo 3, and it gets very slow. I had to change all the graphics setting to low. It is not slow in the beginning, but it gets very slow after a while. It is like slow motion!!! Even when is low, it is still very laggy in game. I tried to repair the disk and clean up the laptop with onyx and still doing the same thing. I even try to reboot when is slow, but same thing after I reboot. I guess the MBP still hot.
Also I am running in lion!

If it's a 13" MBP you don't have the more powerful dedicated graphics and there is nothing you can do but be mad at Apple for deceiving you that the 13" MacBook Pro was capable of extreme graphics.
Only the 15" and 17" have the more powerful dedicated graphics in addition to the CPU graphics.

Working with Lightroom and Bridge

I have been using Lightroom for my photos, but was thinking of doing the following:
- Use Bridge to import files, and sort and tag them
- This has the benefit of allowing me to categorize movies, etc.
- Then open and use Lightroom for editing, etc.
Q1: LR is non-destructive. If I add a tag to an image in Bridge, does that write it to the file? Is it non-destructive.
Q2: If I import files into Bridge, do I open LR and import them in there too, or can I simply share the photos between the 2 programs?
Q3: Does LR read the keyword tags from Bridge?
Thoughts?
Thanks...
John

I use Bridge exclusively for culling, editing, keywording. It is faster at those tasks, since it does not require importing everything into a database in order to edit them and then export them. I also already have a DAM that I presently prefer to LR, and likewise for slide shows and printing. I do maintain a 20,000 image test catalog in LR so that I can thoroughly test each of its trial versions, so I am very familiar with it from the first Beta testing to the present.
As long as you write your metadata to sidecars--or directly to tif and jpeg files, or DNG-- both Bridge and LR can see the changes made in either. However, if after you have imported files into the LR Library--and you must do that in order to use any of the features of LR on images--and subsequently delete them, then you must synchronize the folder they are in(lightroom menu item)to clear those image references from Lightrooom's Library. Same goes for adding files to a folder from outside of LR. There are a few things you must remember to do. It is not an entirely automatic process.
If you do a lot of work in PS on your images, you will likely find that working in Bridge with its very fast connection to PS will be faster. If you also do a lot of video--or mixed video,graphics, and image work, you are also likely to find Bridge faster and more workflow effective. LR is strictly a Photographic image management and editing application, from which you can do basic printing, very basic slideshows, and web work.
On the other hand, if you do little editing beyond what ACR provides (same features as LR) and need a DAM that manages only photographic images, and you find the LR Print, web and slideshow features satsifactory, then LR will overall be the more effective workflow.
The only way to determine which is right for you is to give your workflow a thorough test with LR and compare that to Bridge. LR 2.3 appears to be free of significant bugs, is fast and smooth, so this would is a good time for comparison. Bridge CS4/ACR 5.3 have been significantly upgraded as well, as you know. Workflows differ, sometimes significantly, as do machine configurations, so thorough individual testing is a must. Use the tools that will do the best job for your requirements.

Speed issue with TC and Airport Express 802.11n in WDS mode...

Here is my problem.
I replaced my older base station / Express duo with
a new Time Capsule (1TB) and a new Airport Express (802.11n).
I set up the network with the TC as base station running a WDS network (WDS main) and the Express is the WDS remote.
When I check the wireless clients from the TC, I find my iMac running at 130Mbits and the Extreme at 54Mbits.
No other wireless clients are connected to the network (I kept my slower network as a parallel one for my "older" Macs).
The only other connected device is my Dish network DVR that is connected via an Ethernet cable directly to the Express.
So my question is why does the Express not communicate at >54 speed rate with the TC?
And, why does my iMac connect with 130 and not with 300Mbits?
Any thoughts?

Instead of using WDS, you should take advantage of the "Allow this network to be extended" option that is available for the 802.11n AirPorts including the TC. WDS only operates in the 802.11g radio mode.
Here's the basic setup:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

Bridge network to capture connections from VM with Arch and VirtualBox

Hello everyone,
what I am trying to do is capturing the connections from a VM for malware analysis. It turned out to be a little harder then I thought because I'm absolutely new to arch.
So what I thought of: Just have a normal host adapter and sniff. But it turned out that the VM does not have a dedicated adapter.
So the obvious next step would be to create one. I did that via the Host-Only-Adapter menu.
The problem is, that this is not connected to the internet as it is for the guest only. So what I thought to do was bridging it to my wls1-interface wich is connected to a WiFi.
My normal way would be:
brctl addbr capture
brctl show
brctl addif capture wls1
brctl addif capture vboxnet0
But that does not work with wls1 (it is refused to be linked to that bridge though enp0s25 works well).
The second thing I thought of was using netctl to build a bridge. This is what I put in /etc/netctl/bridge
Description="vmbridge"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=(wls1 vboxnet0)
IP=dhcp
## Ignore (R)STP and immediately activate the bridge
#SkipForwardingDelay=yes
But the command "sudo netctl start bridge" is just crashing my internet connection.
So how could I do this in the possibly best and most stable way?
Thanks for your help

As you have found out, you cannot create a (Ethernet) bridge with a wireless interface. That is not going to work, whether you use brctl directly, or netctl.
If you would like to setup everything quickly and do not mind capturing everything (including host traffic), then just run dumpcap/tcpdump on the wireless interface.
If you are not stuck to VBox, try QEMU. Example command:
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -hda disk.qcow2 -net dump,file=dump.pcap -net user -net nic,model=e1000
-enable-kvm: enable KVM virtualization acceleration (requires Intel VT-x or the AMD equivalent). Remove if your machine does not support it.
-m 2G: assign 2GB RAM
-hda disk.qcow2: disk image created with qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.qcow2 16G (16 GB disk image)
As you need to tap on the network, let QEMU create a hub network with three devices:
-net dump,file=...: hub network with
-net user: the host connection (you could also use tap, bridge, etc. if needed)
-net nic,model=...: the guest network connection
See the manual page qemu and the wiki for further details.

Kernal Panics with CS2 and Bridge?

I have had the Mac Pro for two weeks.
This AM I sent it back to Apple for a new one.
From the day I took it out of the box I experienced
K.Panics. More so while in CS2 / Bridge.
Did an erase and install to no avail - ie. ruled
out software.
Anyone else having these types of issues with
CS2 and Bridge? On another note - while doing
nothing the machine is reallllly quiet, however,
once I start working on it the drive make a
sound like a subtle static, frying rice, etc.
Is this normal?
Many thanks.

Is it possible to get wireless with AX and router?

Is there a way hook up with a wireless connection for my Desktop PC (Win Vista) with an extra airport express and a wireless router?
There is a cable internet hooked up with a router in the other room.
If possible, I don't want to buy another internet adaptor.

In order to enable the AX's Ethernet port so that the PC can connect, the AX would need to be reconfigured as a remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with the Speedstream wireless router. Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not WDS-compatible with the AirPorts ... so it is very unlikely that you will be able to create a WDS between the two.
Your options would be to: 1) Run an Ethernet cable between the PC and the Speedstream router, 2) Use a wireless Ethernet bridge product, like the Linksys WET54G, or 3) Get a replacement wireless card for your PC that is compatible with Vista 64-bit OS.
