Create WLAN Bridge with AP6 420

GernotMeyer

Hi all,

I created a mesh network with AP6 420 APs. Works fine now.

I AP is not connected to LAN but to a seperate LAN network that should be bridged into the main LAN though WLAN mesh.

How to configure that?

Internet<->LAN<->AP1<->WLAN<->AP2<->same LAN segment.

Also described here: https://docs.sophos.com/central/customer/help/en-us/ManageYourProducts/Wireless/SSIDs/SSIDBasic/Mesh/index.html#mesh-netzwerktypen

Should it work when simply configure mesh?

Any hints?

Best Gernot

    Basically if you create a Mesh Network, the AP6 will offer the same network(s) like you have on the root AP6. 

    This means, if the root AP6 gets an IP from a network, it will extend this network as well to the mesh AP6 RJ45. 

    No configuration is required here.

    I did not test the VLAN part of this one, so if you have a  SSID with a bridge to VLAN, it could work as well.

    Hi and thanks for answer.

    It's easy: AP is available during the creation of the mesh network (it is connected to LAN). 

    Then my AP get's in a POE Switch without LAN connection. It boots but get no connection to LAN/root AP.

    Keeps being offline in central.
