Yes. The new firmware will work
with the following setup (ABT2).
3.
Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - - - ABT1...(swich)...APPO - - - - - - - ABT2...Client Router
You can connect ABT to the client
router and then you should able to connect many PCs behind the router. The new
firmware will definitely work with this setup. This method is good,
if you DO NOT want to pass the client�s MAC to the Miktrotik. Some times you may
need those MAC addresses for the accounting purpose. In this case, you can use
APPO in CB mode and it will provide complete transparent bridging which allows
client�s MAC to pass thru.
However, the new firmware will not
work with the following scenario and you need to downgrade to old firmware
(please go thru the link for the more details)

Are you saying that item 1 in your message below will work
with 0.01.07 formware? What if the client uses a router instead of a
PC?
3. Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO -
- - - - - ABT...(swich)...APPO - - - - - - - ABT...Client
Router
Will this work?

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.
Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - - - ABO...(router)...APPO - - - - - - -
ABO...Client PC
You can choose either ABO or
APPO, both will support PPPoE traffic, multi MAC and remote management
features.
Please let me know if you need
any further clarifications. Thank you
Kind regards,
Seeni

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 - - - - -

or this 2. Fiber...Mikrotik...APPO - - - - -

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.
POP�ABO�Router(DHCPserver)�APPO�clients
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:
POP�ABO�hub�APPO�clients
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
