I cant find a clear answer to this online or in the documentation, so am throwing it open to this wonderful community! :)
Here is the situation - i have two areas of a building, one has existing infrastructure (switching, cabling etc.) and one does not. We are proposing to install switching etc in the untouched area and use 2 x IAP105s meshed to wirelessly connect the two areas. I need therefore to be able to bridge the ethernet connection on the IAP in the new area to allow traffic from the new switches to find its way back to the main network. I can get mesh to work fine, and have enabled ethernet bridging on the IAP in the untouched area, but if i say connect a laptop to the switch in the untouched area, using an IP address in the same range as the existing network, pings dont work. So it looks like the bridging element is not working.
Is this feature definately supported on the IAP-105 or would i need to look at using a different model?
Or am i completely misunderstanding the purpose of this feature and doing it all horribly wrong??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks folks
