WLC 2106 and Linksys Bridge WET610N works with 7.0.116.0 release?

Hi all,
i'm having troubles with WLC 2106 controller and several wireless bridges, so i'd like to know if i can fix it in some way.
My environment is as follows:
1 WLC 2106 with 2 Aironet 1240G
I have a production appliance that needs an ethernet port to work, so i bought a Linksys Bridge WET610N to make it works via wireless.
The Linksys bridge connects to the 1240G as a client and works well, but the appliance connected to the ethernet port of the bridge is unreachable.
Searching for the problem, i found that the wlc act as a proxy arp for the wireless clients and being the ethernet appliance a "passive" client, the controller isn't aware of it.
My WLC is running the 7.0.98.0 firmware. In the release notes for the 7.0.116.0, in the "Non-Cisco WGB Support" seems to state that now also non cisco bridges can work using the passive client feature. I've already enabled it on my controller but this didn't solve my problem.
Can anyone tell me if the upgrade to the 7.0.116.0 can fix it?
Thanks in advance
Riccardo Coppola

I'm not sure what (cheap) devices can do the wgb feature that is inter-brand compatible.
The thing is that the WLC enforces the rule "1 wireless client = 1 client". Meaning you can't bridge multiple clients behind a wireless clients, that just screws up roaming mechanisms etc ...
Cisco WGBs have the IAPP protocol to tell the WLC "listen, I'm a WGB wireless client and those are the wired clients connected to me, allow them on the network".
What does "universal WGB" feature does is that the WGB forwards the traffic of the client (only 1 client supported in this case !) to the infrastructure AP but the WGB never sends anything with its own mac address. It uses the client mac address as source.
This means that the WLC has no way of knowing that there is more than 1 device. It just thinks that your wired client is a wireless client.
So it's more than mac cloning since the WgB has to be the one authenticating to the infrastructure (Wpa/wpa2 whatsoever) by spoofing the client mac. The WGB is still in charge of roaming decisions and so on and so on...
I hope it clarifies the situation ?

  • Trouble getting Dlink DWL-G820 wireless bridge to work with wrt610n

    I'm trying to get some dlink wireless bridges to work with wrt610n, but not having any luck.  I left Wrt610n router with default "192.168.1.1" IP address and configured bridges accordingly with "192.168.1.xxx" adresses.
    Wireless bridges not happy.  Any ideas ?  The bridges were working fine when i was using "192.168.0.xxx" ip addresses with wrt610n
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I'll give you full points for reading my question, but zero points for quality of answer.  If it was that simple I would have done it. 
    Unfortunately circumstances have changed and I have both a 192.168.0.xxx LAN & 192.168.1.xxx LAN now and the DWL-G820 (Dlink) wireless bridges must be part of the 192.168.1.xxx LAN (WRT610N Linksys router).  For some reason they won't work when I configure them to be part of a 192.168.1.xxx LAN.
    I'm beginning to think it's a diabolical plot by either Linksys or Dlink to prevent each other's equipment from working together.

  • The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size.  How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
    2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

    There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
    Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick.  I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download.  In non technical terms please!

    How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro?  I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time.  I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

    I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade".  So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it?  I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download.  I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
    I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

    i have lightroom 4 and it doesn't work with d4s raw images? what can I do?

    That model begin to be supported only in the very latest version of Lightroom, version 5.4. You will either need to upgrade Lightroom, or else use the latest version of the free Adobe DNG converter (version 8.4) to create digital negative copies of your raw images. Then you can import those DNG files into the Lightroom that you have now. The choice is yours.
