ePMP Force 180 mode Router

Tengo un problema en mi configuración Force 180 mode Router, no puedo tener acceso a internet. Adjunto mi topología

y mi configuración del Force 180.

Is AP (192.168.1.10) configured as bridge or router ?

Remove/Disable static route on F180 (is there one on AP ?).
Is IP on laptop being assigned by radio or are you setting it static on the laptop ?

You can simple:

Router ISP configured as router LAN 192.168.1.1 doing DHCP/NAT —> AP bridged —> Force 180 bridged ---- switch ---- Laptop configured to DHCP (receives IP from ISP Router.)

Or slightly less simple:

Router ISP configured as router LAN 192.168.1.1 doing DHCP/NAT —> AP bridged ----> Force 180 router (wireless interface configured to DHCP force 180 receive IP from ISP Router / LAN configured to do DHCP / NAT like it is now) —> Laptop receives 192.168.100.# IP from Force 180.

As brubble1 explained but here is another way to think of it.

on the SM:
Nat mode makes the radio act like a home router, but no wifi.
Bridge mode makes the modem into basically a network cable / network switch.
Router mode is more involved where you route a subnet of IP addresses to the radio and it acts like a general gateway, no nat. This is the function you use to give a client a public IP to use, generally a /29 subnet is standard for IPv4 addresses. This is also the default mode for IPv6 in these radios, where you actually assign subnets not addresses anyway.

All three modes are vlan aware and you should keep your management traffic away from your client traffic by using vlans, just do not use vlan 1 as that one is special and it is best to not use it.

Hola, tengo un problema similar, parece que el ISP ASIGNA IP DINAMICAMENTE A LA PRIMER INTERFAZ QUE LEE CON SU MAC ADDRESS, SI TENEMOS CONFIGURADO EL ENLACE CAMBIUM COMO BRIDGE COMO NATURALMENTE SE DEBE CONFIGURAR, NUNCA NOS ASIGNARA IP AL ROUTER O PC CONECTADA EN EL EXTREMO FINAL DEL ENLACE YA QUE LO HARA A LA INTERFAZ QUE “VE” Y NUNCA PASARA IP AL OTRO EXTREMO DEL ENLACE POR MAS QUE ESTE CONFIGURADO COMO BRIDGE, TAMBIEN ESTOY BUSCANDO UNA SOLUCION DEL TIPO AP QUE TOME LA IP DEL ROUTER DEL ISP POR LA INTERFAZ LAN Y ACTUE COMO UN WIRELESS ROUTER PARA QUE EL SM EN EL EXTREMO REMOTO RECIBA EL SERVICIO NATEADO DESDE EL EQUIPO CONECTADO DIRECTAMENTE AL ROUTER DEL ISP… AUN ESTOY BUSCANDO UNA SOLUCION. GRACIAS.

Google Translate:

Hello, I have a similar problem, it seems that the ISP dynamically assignes IP to the first interface that reads with its mac address, if we have configured the cambium link as bridge as naturally it must be configured, it will never assign IP to the router or PC connected in it end end of the link since it will do it to the interface that “sees” and will never pass IP to the other end of the link because it is configured as bridge, I am also looking for a solution of the AP type that takes the IP of the ISP router through the LAN interface and acts as a wireless router so that the sm at the remote end receives the natated service from the equipment connected directly to the ISP router… I am still looking for a solution. Thank you.

Factory reset both radios

On the radio that will be the AP:
Setup the frequency, the distance, the ssid, the management IP, enable management via both ethernet and wireless and the wpa passcode. Touch nothing else.

On the radio used as an SM:

Set to bridge mode, save and reboot.
Set your management IP and set the wpa passcode used in the AP.

Under monitor-> wireless, make sure you are connected to the AP and use another tab to ensure you can access the AP web page.

If the SM is being connected to the isp modem then you must enable dhcp server below sm on the sm configuration. Else this stays disabled. The AP will pass the dhcp properly to the SM ethernet port.

Done.

Hola, gracias por , aquí nuestro ISP tiene una configuración especial para evitar que podamos transportar el servicio por medio de un bridge parece, y el modem solo asigna IP a la primer MAC address que ve conectada al mismo, la tipología de red es la siguiente:

Hello, thanks for, here our ISP has a special configuration to avoid that we can transport the service through a bridge it seems, and the modem only assigns IP to the first MAC address that it sees connected to it, the network typology is as follows :

in that picture you MUST enable DHCP below SM, but this is totally the wrong way to use these radios for this purpose.

swap the AP and SM positions, set the AP management address to an internal IP (192.168.1.???) enable management vlan ( set it to say 10, just not 1) and enable access from wireless. On the SM, do the same but leave the client vlan unconfigured. At this point you need use a managed switch that is vlan aware to set your uplink port to trunk mode and native vlan to 1. Use two more ports, one set to access vlan 1 and the other to access vlan 10. Place the router wan port on vlan 1 access port and the client side port to access port for vlan10. This will allow you to access the radios remotely from inside your network but still have all of the functions you want.

Even better, place your router between the ISP modem and the first radio and just assign new management IPs to each radio. If the SM is on the ISP side of the radio link, ensure you enable DHCP below SM and you can ignore all vlan configs.

Simplicity versus functionality. Do not over complicate things and think in terms of flow paths. This will help you determine the best way for you.
