Wireless links for IP Cameras - Possible Bridging problem?

mrphreak · Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:04 am

Hey guys,

Have inherited this setup which is misbehaving. There are two remote site cameras, each with RB711-5Hn cards with the wireless and ethernet bridged linking back to a RB433 with the two wireless links and ether1 bridged.

When everything is running, there seems to be a bridging loop or similar happening which is feeding everything towards the Cam1 Link (The Bridge/Hosts tab fills up with Mac Addresses from ether1, whereas it should only have the Local mac and the camera.) which obviously causes a few problems. Apparently it used to work ok, and nothing has changed.

It looks as if you have the cams and Ether1 at the PC location bridged together with Ether1 & Ether2 at the PC location. Still not clear exactly which problem you are having though. Which table is showing which MAC addresses, and what is the actual operational issue?
