RE: [smartBridges] What is going on here?!?

[sB Tech Support]

As long there is Access Point as the head-end, the setup is workable and only 1 Mac is being seen from that AP. You can’t have the AB at the head-end to get to internet due to Mac translation occurs.   For your reference, please refer to this FAQ: http://www.smartbridges.com/new/support/faq_ab.php#155   Alex sB Tech Support [EMAIL PROTECTED]     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Wells Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 10:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [smartBridges] What is going on here?!?   Yes you need to have the APPO on the side that the most MAC addresses are coming from (the internet) because the ABO will only "see" 64 MAC addresses on the ethernet side.  I have a temporary link setup for a customer APPO-->>ABO<<ethernet>>ABO<<--APPO that works well with the ABO's talking ethernet.  I don't have to worry them about the 64 MAC address limit on the ethernet side because the ABO's will only see the MAC address of each other.  At least this is my understanding.  I wouldn't do it this way for a permanent fix, but I only need this until I get their tower up.  I haven't had any trouble with my APPO<<>>APPO ptp link.   -Scott Wells   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eje Gustafsson Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2003 3:35 PM To: Rick Kosick Subject: Re: [smartBridges] What is going on here?!?     Yepp.   NOC->> APPO ~~~~~~ APPO (in client bridge mode)   Or aPPO (ptp mode) ~~~~ aPPo (ptp mode)   Just keep in mind in ptp mode you have no usable alignment tools so best is to setup then in AP and client mode and align one side then switch around AP and client and align the other side. Then when that is done set them to ptp mode. However I heard people that have had unreliable performance with aPPO in ptp mode. Granted I not heard this from anyone in a longer while now so it could been a issue that gotten fixed in the later firmwares.
