2802i Mobility express + Vmware Bridge mode - Passive Client.

sardarjion — Wed, 10 May 2023 18:52:01 GMT

I am trying to setup Passive client on 2802i Mobility Express (v8.10.151.0) so that when I set the bridge mode on vmware for client Windows 10, I directly get the IP from the router.

This worked fine on WLC 2504 as per my previous post (Solved: Re: WLC 2504+Vmware Bridge mode - DHCP dropping packet (no mscb) found - Cisco Community) and follwed the steps listed here: How to allow multi IP address from the same wireless client – CiscoZine

I followed the same instructions on 2802i Mobility Express but somehow vmware client (Win 10) is not getting the IP address. Strangely, it gets DNS IP address which I have configured on router.

Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Description: Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection #2
Physical Address: ‎00-50-56-21-09-95
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.239.254
IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
IPv4 Default Gateway:
IPv4 DNS Servers: 1.1.1.2, 9.9.9.9

Could someone please help how to configure it in mobility express? Thanks.

1. Upgrade to 8.10.185.0 just to make sure you have all the latest bug fixes. (there are a whole lot of bugs on the wave 2 APs - see Leo's list below.)

2. It must have got those DNS servers from DHCP (unless you configured them statically) so you can confirm that with a packet capture and then work out why it isn't using the DHCP supplied IP.
