871W in Universal Client Mode Bridging Issue

jennyjohn
Level 1
Level 1

I have a 1242 Access Point as root and a 871W Router as a non-root bridge (Diagram attached). I have a laptop connected to Fa 0 of the 871W router.

* I am able to ping from the AP to the Router and vice versa

* I am also able to ping from the router to the laptop and vice versa

* But I am not able to ping from the laptop to the AP

All bridging commands seem to be fine. Even tried adding route commands, but none seem to work. All suggestion are welcome, Thanks.

Please find the configuration below:

Your configuration looks like good for the further details and configuration guide for the AP follow the configuration guide which will help you:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_10b_JA/configuration/guide/scg12410b-chap5-admin.html

When station-role non-root is used, the router works in Universal Client Mode and it works in Layer 3. Hence Bridge-group commands on Dot11radio interface & Vlan 1 interface wouldn't work. Both interfaces have to be given an IP address and nat overloading needs to be done on the router to map the many router client IP address to the single dot11 IP address connecting it to the main network.

for more details:

I have the 871w router but I can´t change the station-role mode to non-root, I receive the following message:

can not disable station-role

Somebody know why i cannot change to station-role non-root?

thanks

Do you have that option when you issue a station-role ?

Thanks,

Scott
