Point to Multipoint WLAN Bridging (1310) CFG Examples

wanstar42 · ‎01-23-2009

I've blown half a day looking for a rudimentary config example for a point to multipoint bridging design. Would like an example config for the 1310 root and 1310 non-root(a) and non-root(b). I hate to spend days developing this when I can stand on the shoulders of those who've died doing what they love before I came along. Any help AND url links would be appreciated.

Here are configs for the root and non-root. The only difference is setting the root to root and choosing a channel. The non-root do not get to choose a channel, only set them to non-root.

Here is the root config:

dot11 ssid Wireless

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa

infrastructure-ssid

wpa-psk ascii whateverkeyyouwant

!

username admin privilege 15 password setyourpasswordhere

!

bridge irb

!

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip address

no ip route-cache

!

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip

!

broadcast-key change 300

!

ssid Wireless

!

speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0

channel 2412

station-role root

cca 75

concatenation

infrastructure-client

bridge-group 1

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

!

interface FastEthernet0

no ip address

no ip route-cache

bridge-group 1

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

hold-queue 80 in

!

interface BVI1

ip address 10.100.8.35 255.255.255.0

no ip route-cache

!

ip default-gateway 10.100.18.1

Here is the non-root config, it is the same for all remotes, you only need to change the IP address and host names.

hostname Remote

!

enable password setyourpassword

!

ip subnet-zero

!

no aaa new-model

!

dot11 ssid Wireless

authentication open

authentication key-management wpa

infrastructure-ssid

wpa-psk ascii whateverkeyyouwant

!

username admin privilege 15 password setyourpassword

!

bridge irb

!

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip address

no ip route-cache

!

encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm tkip

!

ssid Wireless

!

speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0

Thanks. Didn't know if it would require different bridge groups for each root-to-nonroot connection. This looks simple enough. I noticed you made the station role of the non-root "wireless clients" as well. Is this feature to offer ap connectivity to clients behind the non-root? Thanks again.
