WGB can not associate with Root Access Point

[Davy Ad]

Hello All,

I have Root  Access Point ( AP) in used and configured Wireless Group Bridge (WGB) , that can be used for wired connection device away from the Building.

My problem is  , WGB can not associate with the Root AP and no ip address for the wired device .

Here are the two configuration attached.

Can someone help please?

I can speak for bridge connections, but not for WGB, although I think some of the same things will apply

1. What is the EAP method set on the auth server? I think you might need to use LEAP. I see that you don't have "authentication network-eap" on the USER SSID. Try adding it on both sides.

2. On WGB side, you need to specify username and password for authentication under dot11 ssid: authentication client username test password test

3. While leaving "authentication open eap default" and "authentication network-eap default" on the WGB, remove ALL (yes, all) AAA commands from WGB

4. I don't believe you can use any VLAN commands and trunking on the WGB. The only command to leave is "workgroup-bridge client-vlan 30", but remove "vlan 30" from SSID, remove "int Dot11Radio0.30", remove "int FastEthernet0.30".

on Root, add:

dot11 ssid USER

   authentication network-eap eap_methods

also need to figure out why your dot11radio0 is reset/down on the root. Can you resend the root AP config, something is wrong with the Interface configs in the config you attached, there is some overlapping output.

Also, you should only have one dot11radio0 and gig0 interface with a "native" encapsulation.
