Greetings all,

I am having problems remotely accessing a CPE unit that is set up as a pseudobridge. Any thoughts?? I have tried winbox and mac-telnet, neither of which seem to work. Is there any way to gain access to this unit remotely?? It is functioning correctly, I just can't seem to log into it.

Thanks in advance

If its functioning properly, is there a device past/through it that you can get access to and try to access from the other side?

There is a Linksys router on the other end, but it is not setup to be remotely accessed. I am not very familiar with the pseudobridge setting, can someone tell me if you are supposed to be able to remotely access a unit that is configured this way? I am not sure if the wlan1 interface has an IP address assigned to it, so the only IP addresses may be the ethernet (192.168.x.x) and the PPPoE session (10.x.x.x). The PPPoE is connected, and as I said before, the unit is passing data like it is supposed to, I just wanted to change a setting.

Thanks

goto ip neihbors and look and see what ip it has if it has the 192.168.x.x on the ethernet you can add an address in same range to the wlan interface and access it that way since its bridged you can ping the ethernet ip. You may have to turn on discovering on the wlan interface under ip neighbors discovery interfaces to get it to show up.

If the ip that it shows is 192.168.1.1 then add 192.168.1.5/24 or something in same range to ap wlan interface and should be able to ping it, and telnet into it. Its better to add a private range of ip,s for bridged cpe's on the wlan side and put the private ip on the cpe on the bridge interface, and add a gateway on the cpe to point to the ap. example 172.172.172.1/24 on ap
and 172.172.172.5/24 with gateway of 172.172.172.1 on cpe since you cant mac telnet to a pseudobridged cpe.(it changes the mac)
