Hi Mark, Is there any benefit of trying to do it as (2) seperate l3/l2's vs the single l3/l2? (not sure that I think it would be easy to monitor thesingle L2) (and just thinking aloud here). With the bridge control utils or routing either is feasible.
i.e. is this farm lan2/subnet2 mountain lan3/subnet3 DC lan4/subnet4 any better / worse than lan2/subnet2 mountain lan2/subnet2 DC lan4/subnet4 IMO - think that monitoring / troubleshooting the l2 might offset the benefit of the single lan which hosts the repeater. (It's possible that you might get into a scenario where you would have to troubleshoot "lan difficulties" and not being able to tell where things happened would be a downer. Is there anything special required inband of l2 that would make bridging better than routing? (Like crazy .l2 (ipx or other) frames that you have to pass thru? ) --Adrian On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 1:28 PM, Mark Ter Morshuizen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I want to set up a wireless link between where I live and the nearest town. > There's a mountain in the way so I need a repeater station at the top of it. > > My setup and hardware looks like this: > > (farm) > PC Engines Wrap 2C > Miorotik R52H mini PCI card with atheros AR5413 > 5.8GHz dish antenna > > (mountain) > PC Engines Wrap 2C > 2x Miorotik R52H mini PCI card with atheros AR5413 > 2x 5.8GHz dish antenna > > (town) > Mikrotik RB411 > Miorotik R52H mini PCI card with atheros AR5413 > DSL modem > > I'd like to put OpenWRT on the Wraps. > > I would like to run my pppoe session on one of the boxes connected to the LAN > of the Wrap at (farm) so I can use dynamic DNS etc. > > What would be the best way to set this up?
