Please can soembody help me with configuration for a Point to Point link using two MT with 200mW Prism?

I want to plug Device A and Device B at the end of the radios and A should be able to PING B and vice versa.

It was quite easy with senao bridge but not same with MT.

Thank you

see: http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/in ... ss.content
-> quick setup guide.

it's just configuring wireless interfaces (with appropriate band and frequencies), adding ip- addresses, ready.

regards.

I now have the following

The wireless interface and ether are both bridged in both cases.

The problem now is a laptop attached to the bridge can not ping the laptop attached to the station. But inside the MT I can devices attached.

Help needed!!!

The problem is that you can't make a "traditional" transparent bridge by bridging the ethernet and wireless interfaces. You need to use WDS to make this work. Ckeck the WDS docs for an example. I've still not heard if traditional transparent wireless bridges (without the need for WDS or EOIP) will be supported in the future...anyone care to comment?

So please how can I achieve a simple bridge to connect 2 networks?

Thank you

Use the WDS example. Then set up a bridge on each side with the ethernet port and WDS interface.

Use the WDS example. Then set up a bridge on each side with the ethernet port and WDS interface.

or build a routed connection (don't put the wlan interface into the bridge group) and use an EoIP-tunnel (with eth in the bridge group). there are examples in the manual.

remember to assign ip-address to the bridge, not to the interface.

Using EOIP works better for me. It may be all the VLAN's we use, but the WDS just doesn't seem to work as well as EOIP.

Thanks I was able to use WDS but EoIP never worked. I am using MT ver 2.8.11.

What can be done? DO I need an upgrade?

Thanks once more
