Wireless Link with a relay
Posted: Mon Oct 25, 2004 8:41 pm
Hi...
I have the following setup...Two LANs that are currently connected with a dedicated line. I need to replace the single line with a wireless link. The problem being that the wireless link is in two parts as the two LANs are not line of sight.
BR == Wireless setup as 'Bridge'
ST == Wireless setup as 'Station'
CS == Cisco
Current setup
LAN1 <<==>>CS<<================>>CS<<==>>LAN2
Proposed setup
LAN1 <<==>> BR <<===>> ST/BR <<===>> ST <<==>> LAN2
What is the simplest way of inserting the proposed setup, changing as little as possible on the two LANs?
I have got the link working by routing from RouterOS to RouterOS to RouterOS and back, but that requires the user to make changes to the setups on LAN1 and LAN2 (gateways and what not). Is there any other way that might be easier? What would be really nice is to put the link in and it just shunts traffic from one side to the other with no configuration, but I'm guessing that won't be possible...
Suggestions?
