Hi All, I have my router setup as follows:
Hotspot on ether3 removed from bridge local 172 subnet
pc plugged into ether 5 with 192.168.88 subnet
wireless radios plugged into ether3 but subnet 192.168.88
I need to understand how to allow browser access from the pc on ether5 to the wireless radios on ether3 thru the different subnets...
I want all hotspot users to be on the 172 subnet....and keep the radio gui access on the 192 subnet and be able to control them with the pc....
any help would be extremely appreciated...
Re: Router route config question
The router will automatically route traffic between any subnets you have on your router. If you want multiple ports on the same subnet then you need to either have them all port members of the same bridge or use the switch settings if available on your hardware.
If your traffic leaving your router to a public router then you'll need to masquerade the traffic under NAT or the remote router won't have a return route for your traffic.

Re: Router route config question
Well this is not the case....because when i try to ping the radios from the pc on ether 5 to ether 3 thru the hotspot subnet it does not work....
dont forget that ether 3 has been removed from the bridge local...
When doing a hotspot on an ether port is it required to remove the port from the bridge for it to work??? As this is the only way that i could get it to work....
route is like this....
ether5 (subnet 192.168.88.0)>ether3 (subnet 172.16.0.1)>wifi access points connected to ether3 (subnet 192.168.88.0)
cannot ping radios at all....

Re: Router route config question
If two interfaces are bridged then they are in the same layer two network and devices can ping one another when they are in the same subnet. If the interfaces are nt bridged then they need to be in different subnets and use the router as a gateway between the two layer two and two layer three networks.
The hotspot may be filtering traffic which may be your issue. If you have the interfaces and ip subnets setup as desired then you may be wanting to use the walled garden features of the hotspot.
