Question : Problem: Does anyone have a working sample config for wireless bridging?
|
|
I have a couple of Cisco 1300s here. I'm trying to test turning them into a wireless bridge to extend a LAN to a remote location. Right now they are under my desk. They are both connected to a switch along with my laptop so I have LAN access to them. I'm trying to get them to talk to each other to no avail. One thing I see is that on the workgroup bridge, the radio interface stays in "reset" state and whenever I make a change, the console logs this message: %DOT11-2-UPLINK_FAILED: Uplink to parent failed: Unsupported authentication type
Here are the current configs. I know IOS very well but I'm not too versed in wireless and APs. What am I missing?

Place the first bridge into root bridge (<--looks you have already done this) infrastructure only. Remove workgroup bridge from second and place into non-root bridge, infrastructure only. You said you have them under you desk, this is fine temporarily (though your future children may have "unique" genetic characteristics) but make sure they are both in the same polarity sphere (horizontal/vertical...essential that they are facing each other in mirror to one another).
