Howdy -
So if I deploy smartbridges in my network and then someday I have
to replace an access point, as far as I can see, _all_ smartbridge
customers are going to go down and stay down until we can come and
reconfigure their smartbridge. This is due to it's reliance on the bssid
of the access point, which I don't directly have control over as it's
based on that AP's mac address. So an AP failure is no longer a 1 or 2
hour outage proposal, now it's a 3 or 4 day long ordeal as we work
overtime running all over hells creations reconfiguring end stations. Is
there any way to fix the AirBridge so this horror story never has to
happen?
` Secondly, I've discovered an interesting bug. Using a cisco 350
access point, if I have an airbridge and a wet11 associated, if I enable
rts/cts, the AirBridge malfunctions and begins dropping frames while the
wet11 just keeps chunking along as if nothing happened. Why is this?
Thirdly, I hate it's stupid IP stack. It can't use it's default
gateway, which means that if you talk to the device, you have to have an
ip address in the same range as the device, which in my network is almost
impossible to do (clients are on public nets and radios/infrasturcture
equipment is on private ip's). Is this problem scheduled for a fix anytime
soon? I would love to begin polling these devices via snmp and charting
their stats.
Thanks.
