Hi Pascal,   As you mentioned, you can use APPO instead of ABO and it will allow more MAC comparing to ABO.   The ABO does the Multi MAC translation and it is not a transparent device.   As far the APPO in CB mode concerned, it will act as a transparent device which means the client PCs MAC address will be able to pass thru the APPO. Since this mode supports more client and transparent bridging, you could try this solution for your deployment.   On the ABO at the switch, you can use the firmware 0.01.07 or 0.01.08(Multi MAC & remote management) which supports the PPPoE protocol using any PPPoE client including WinXP PPPoE client.   The firmware supports for the following scenario and no need to use 0.09.10 firmware(single MAC only). You may need this firmware, if you want to connect your router’s LAN port directly to the ABO. Since the APPO is connected to the router on the both scenario, the single MAC firmware is not required.   1.  Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - - - ABO...(swich)...APPO - - - - - - - ABO...Client PC   2.

However, please remember that in order to use PPPOE, you have to "Allow non IP traffic" in the Advance Tab of each aPPO.   Arasu sB Tech Support -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pascal Losier Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 11:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Smartbridge Configuration Issue       Is this OK          ???       1.  Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - - - ABO...(swich)...APPO - - - - - - - ABO...Client PC                        or this     2.

The current devices are (APPO & ABO) supports this configuration.  We have already tested this configuration and it is perfectly fine.   POPàABOàRouter(DHCPserver)àAPPOàclients  10.6.0.xx                                             à  192.168.1.XX     Kind regards, Seeni sB Tech support   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin McCaig Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 5:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] 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     --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
