If you install the old firmware, it will
become a transparent bridge and work wonderfully for you. However, you
lose remote management. Not acceptable for most folks.
If you use the aBO with newer firmware,
all the traffic coming through it will be appended onto it’s own MAC
address. So…you may have some problems with accounting.
SCRATCH THE ABO!!!
I highly recommend you use an aP indoor or
aPPo in place of the ABO. All my repeater locations use aP indoor units (NEMA box) pointed back to
head end, then a switch, then an aPPo (differenet SSID and channel).
Works great…even with CHEAPO netgear switch.

Smartbridge Configuration Issue
Some say I need to
replace first ABO with APPO, since it allow more than 64 Mac & APPO will
not NAT.
On the ABO at the switch
, Do I need to install formware 0.09.10
???? or is 1.0.08 ???
Or maybe I should really go & install an APPO instead of ABO.
If I use remote management with 0.09.10 do I only loose it for
this AB or for complete network pass this ABO ???

Yes, option #1 is simple
in terms of implementation. However, please remember that in order to use PPPOE,
you have to "Allow non IP traffic" in the Advance Tab of each aPPO.

Is
this OK
???
1. Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - -
- ABO...(swich)...APPO - - - - - - - ABO...Client PC
or this 2. Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - -
- ABO...(router)...APPO - - - - - - - ABO...Client PC
I know
option #2 is good, but I would like prefer using #1 since no need to installed
PPPOE router at other tower.
Yes.
The current devices are (APPO & ABO) supports this configuration. We
have already tested this configuration and it is perfectly fine.

10.6.0.xx

Smartbridge Configuration Issue
I got a
tower in place that has 2 smartbridge radios hung on it. The first radio
is a Air Bridge Outdoor attached to a 24 dbi grid that is talking to a POP 3.5
miles away. On the other side of the tower, I have a AirPointPro Outdoor
attached to a 95 degree Sector Antenna pointing toward wireless clients.
The
radios are connected to each other using a 4 port hub and one client computer
is also connected to that same hub.
The
network looks like this:
POPàABOàhubàAPPOàclients
The
problem is that right now all the clients are using a common IP Subnet as the
ABO (10.6.0.12, 255.255.248.0, POP Gateway 10.6.0.1). I have several
devices behind the APPO and wondered if I could stick a Cisco 2514 (2 ethernet
ports, first one being on the 10.6.0.0 network, and the second on the
192.168.1.0 network) between the ABO and the APPO and hand the clients DHCP IP
addresses generated by the router in the 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 subnet
Technically
will this work using my current equipment?
Thanks,
Robin
