OK, I know: "friends don't let friends bridge networks". But at what if the
networks are small?
The reason I ask is I'm wondering if I'd have anything to gain by setting up
static routing (now that the new UBNT beta added this to the gui).
What I have is a satellite internet modem going to an MT box. The MT box is
wired to an 802.11g AP/wired switch (which has wireless clients). Also wired to
that switch are two backhauls with clients at the far ends. One backhaul is a
pair of PS2's (the one closest to the switch is WDS Station and the far end is
WDS AP with clients). The other backhaul is a pair of NS5M's running Airmax
(obviously no clients) and wired to the far NS5M is a Bullet 2M running as
802.11b/g/n AP with clients. All the hardware is in the 192.168.7.x/24 range as
are most of the clients, though I give some clients addresses in the
192.168.0.x/24 range to keep them isolated from the hardware and other clients.
The MT box doesn't allow traffic between the 192.168.7.x and the 192.168.0.x
net.
---PS2~~~~~~~PS2
with clients (192.168.0.x)
/
Sat modem---MT box---switch/ap with clients 192.168.7.x
\
----NS5M~~~~~NS5M----Bullet2M with clients 192.168.7.x
I'm assuming now traffic for all clients transit all segments of the network
i.e. traffic for a client wirelessly connected to the Bullet2M is also
transiting the segment of the network comprised of the PS2's. Is that right or
does the gear (in this case the switch joining the different segments of the
network learn who's where and route the traffic accordingly? I'm assuming not.
So if I made it so the clients on each AP were in a different subnet and static
routed then traffic would only travel the pertinent network segment?
