Subject: RE: [smartBridges] A Real
Bridge
DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT remove the way there doing the mac
briding on the AB's god I would hate to go back to authenticating each friggin
clients Ethernet card.... Ye that's just great every new computer or new
hardware I have to update I feel like the damn Microsoft windows xp licensing
program in that case... at best I mean make it an option to show "Own Mac",
"Computer Mac", "Designated Mac"
Just like lucent does and WALLA problem solved for
EVERYONE

Also keep in mind that if you use an APPO in client bridge
mode it will not
pass any kind of trafic unless you
are using an APPO in AP mode that you are
trying to
associate to. I found this out the hard way ;-) it will allow you to
ping one or maybe both directions but that was about
it until I swapped out my
AP for an APPO instead of an
AP-1000
