Non-cisco bridge client

formosa — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 12:23:27 GMT

Hello,

FlexConnect Local switching mode with x3-SSID WPA2+PSK
Non-cisco Bridge device and PC are static IP address configured.

C9800 <--> [Core Switch] |<--> [Edge Switch] <--> [C9115] ))) ... ((( iPhone/NB are working fine.
|<--> [Edge Switch] <--> [C9115] ))) ... ((( [Bridge] <--wire--> [PC] is not working.

Problem:
Bridge can ping its own gateway and other devices on the same network segment.
PC can not ping its own gateway (SVI on Core switch), but cannot ping devices on the same network segment.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you for your reply and advice!

@formosa

Device is getting DHCP from the bridge?

On the client are you using the mesh AP as gateway?

Clients (iPhone/NB, Bridge Device, PC) are using Core switch's SVI as gateway.

I believe you should be able to get IP from DHCP.

I think you're trying to say you're using the 9115 APs as workgroup bridges with a non-Cisco wireless bridge?
This is not generally supported but you might be able to get it working.
If you're using static IPs then you'll almost certainly need to use the passive client feature:
