RE: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible?

·         The airBridge with the firmware version 0.09.10 is a transparent bridge and supports only single PC. ·         The airBridge with the firmware version 0.01.04 and later supports multiple MAC addresses but does MAC translation of the PC’s MAC address when requesting for an IP address from the DHCP server, however if you see at the main packet level header you will see the airBridge’s MAC address and the Bootp level you shall see the PC’s MAC address. ·         The airPointPRO in CB mode any firmware just passes the PC’s MAC address while requesting for an IP address from the DHCP server, without doing any MAC translation while supporting multiple MAC addresses.   I hope it clarifies.       With Best Regards,   Vasu           -----Original Message----- From: The Wirefree Network [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 11:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible?   Wayland, You must be using airPoints (cb mode) on the client or the very old airBridge firmware.  Because the most recent airBridge firmware appends the airBridge MAC address to the client's IP address.  Therefore, only the MAC of the airBridge shows up at both the aPPo and the arp table within your gateway.   Sully   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayland Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 8:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible?     ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Oswalt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 3:06 PM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Who's Responsible?     > Just remember that he "could" request 2 leases depending on your setup; one > for the Airbridge and one from his computer.  Both would show the same MAC > (the Airbridge MAC) if using new firmware. > > By the way, don't use his PC's MAC as suggested below.  You won't see it on > your end. > > But this all depends on how you have your Airbridge configured.  You could > test and give the Airbridge a static IP, then see how many requests his > computer makes. > >   _____ >   Jeremy   I am not sure why you say that we can't see the actual PC MAC. On my set up we are seeing the PC MAC and successfully assign IP addresses to them using DHCP. The firmware in the AP is 1.4j.6   Can you explain further?   Regards, Wayland.               ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org    ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm   The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
