[MLB-WIRELESS] D-Link Bridging

[Matthew Hill]

Jason.

here are my plans

3 lans in seperated via wireless.

lan 1 ips 10.10.160.0/29* and 10.10.160.8/29**
lan 2 ips 10.10.160.72/29
lan 3 ips 10.10.160.64/29

* the ap for this subnet is connecting into a eth card in my linux server, not into a switch.
** these ips are for my lan

So for each ap in each lan, shall i just assign it an ip from its own subnet for each ap

ap in lan 1 10.10.160.1
ap in lan 2 10.10.160.73
ap in lan 3 10.10.160.65

All set in bridge mode will they see each other therefore all wired and wireless computers can see each other?

Thanks.

Matt

  I just used two free static IP's on the subnet as the class C subnet is
  the same in both premises.

  For example, you could do this:

  192.168.0.254   - internet gateway and firewall
  192.168.0.253   - wireless bridge 1
  192.168.0.252   - wireless bridge 2

  192.168.0.1-100 - IP's in one building
  192.168.0.101-200 - IP's in other building.

  DHCP works across the bridge too, so you don't have to partition the IP's 
  up like I did in the two lines above.  It'd be like one big happy subnet 
  spanning two sites.  As usual, don't have more than one DHCP server up.

  The bridges also figure out which MAC address lie on which side of the 
  link so it doesn't unnecessarily ship ethernet frames over that it doesn't 
  have to.
