Wireless bridge static IP

[Gary.M]

OK, so that config is in and working but how do I set the Relay IP address to be what I want it to be?

I've used the primary routers static dhcp facility to assign an ip address of 192.168.0.103 to the bridge via the mac address seen by the primary router, rebooted the bridge, but the relay ip address still comes up at 192.168.0.154.

The Relay ip can’t be set from the bridge. It is assigned by the AP.

What you are doing is correct. Maybe your bridge has an existing lease with the AP?
If it doesn’t resolve in 12 hours, a reboot of the AP might be wise to flush the cache

You were right. It's where it should be this morning. The 1.9x install looks great on my phone screen.

Thanks for the assistance.

No worries glad it all came together

I've manually set a static IP to my wireless bridges (i have two repeaters), if that's any help i'll leave the etc/network cfg below.

Code: Select all

config interface 'lan'
	option ifname 'eth1'
	option force_link '1'
	option type 'bridge'
	option proto 'static'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option ipaddr '192.168.10.1'
	option gateway '192.168.1.1'
	option dns '192.168.1.1'

config interface 'wwan'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '192.168.1.254'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option gateway '192.168.1.1'

config interface 'bridgecfg'
	option proto 'relay'
	option network 'lan wwan'
	option ipaddr '192.168.1.254'

set via command line or GUI?

[d3fz]

I've done it via WinSCP, actually. If i change anything via GUI at this point, it will probably override my settings.

[Lantis]

That’s a good tip.
I’m not sure it should be added to the UI, but it’s a good advanced use case.

Quick question.

I've set up a wireless bridge properly, clients can access the internet with no problem, but when i'm connected through the repeater (wireless/ethernet), i can't access/ping the GUI using the Relay IP.

But if i'm connected to the main router, i can access the repeater GUI using the Relay IP, without a problem.

I also have a very similar setup with another device that's running LEDE (also using relayd), which i can ping (no GUI) normally whenever i'm connected to it.

The only thing that seems to differ from one configuration to another, is the firewall settings, which i haven't touch. They're both default.

Is this the correct behavior when using wireless bridge ?

You’re supposed to be able to.
Does the relayd process say it is binding to your Relay ip?
