WNDAP360 in Bridge-Mode - no DHCP
Hi,
i setup 2 Ap360 in Bridge-Mode. The AP's are configured with static IP's. VLANS etc. are working as expected. The Clients behind Bridge should aquire IP from DHCP-Server (Stand-Alone DHCP, not from AP). But the Clients got no IP. I run Wireshark and i can see that the Client send DHCP-Discover, but i could not see them on the other Bridge-side. it seems that the broadcasts are not send over bridge.
can anyone help?
We have made a fix and beta firmware is available. Please reach our support team to get this firmware.
Thanks,
Raghu

Hi Danielhainich,
In order for us to assist you better with the issue, kindly provide us additional information. I have summarized my questions below:
- You mean that the devices that are trying to connect to the APs won't receive any IP? Is that correct?
- How about if it is standalone and no bridge is configured?
- Have you tried connecting an ethernet cable and directly attach it to the AP while set on bridge?
- Do you have any VLANs? If you do have, does your stand-alone DHCP set to trunk?
Please also update it to the latest firmware.
You may download it here.

hi,
i have installed latest firmware.
when i connect to ssid for client-acces all is working. dhcp is assigned from dhcp-server.
but when client is connected to bridge, than dhcp is not working. the request are not sent over the bridge.
With static IP all is working.
AP1 and AP2 are bridged with WDS -> DHCP-Request ends at AP2 (checked with wireshark and mirrorport)
DHCP-Server --- Switch --- AP1 ....... AP2 --- Switch --- Client
AP1 as AccessPoint -> DHCP is working
DHCP-Server --- Switch --- AP1 ....... Client
May you be able to try a link test?
Note: You should be able to ping the IP address of both APs from a connected client. Failure to ping one of the APs means that the wireless signal is not traversing the bridge. Failure to ping both IP addresses means that the clients is not connected correctly.
