Will AP allow me to pass data to any device in and all STATIC IP network with NO Router

Will AP allow me to pass data to any device in and all STATIC IP network with NO Router
2023-05-14 00:31:29
Model: EAP225  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version:

I have a network with NO internet

and no DHCP access.

 

I have setup a OMADA EAP225 V5 with a static IP in same subnet.

 

Will I be able to configure it to allow data pass through to my other STATIC IP devices on my network with NO router?

 

thanks

Yes.  You just need to properly configure the 3 devices to make it happen, actually you just need to properly configure 2 devices :)

 

As long as the source and destination are properly configured, ie in the same subnet, and using each other as the default gateway (which actually doesn't go anywhere) you should be fine.  The AP acts for all intents and purposes like a basic ethernet switch once the devices have joined/authenticated to the WiFi SSID (network)--so Layer2.

 

Device A:  192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.20

Device B:  192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.10

 

The AP can be anything but for the purposes of easy management put it in the same network

 

AP:        192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.10 (or .20 it matters not)

 

All three devices should build up ARP tables (mapping IP's to hardware addresses).

Issuing the command "arp -a" on the end devices should show a table with the IP's it recognizes

 

You should be able to ping the AP and the other device.  If you can't ping, something is wrong.  

For instance if you are on DeviceA (192.168.1.10) and you issue the 'ping 192.168.1.20' it should respond once both A and B are joined to the wifi network.

I have 2 APs on network

i have 3 60Ghz wireless on network

i have 8 cameras on network

i have 1 Server on network 

 

no gateways are being used 

 

All devices are on same 192.168.10.* net

 

when I log onto network with either AP, I cannot get to devices.

 

when I plug direct into the 60Ghz I can get to devices 

 

what should I check for?

How are the 3 x 60Gs connected?  I assume the APs, 60Gs and server all attach to the same switch?

 

If not  what do your wired segment(s) look like?

AP to TP Link unmanaged 5 port Switch.

Siklu TU also connected to 5 port switch.


AP is 192.168.10.201 

 

Siklu is 192.169.10.4

 

 

Connecting direct yo switch we can see silly with laptop.

conndcting through AP unit we cannot see it.

silly is SIKLU 60Ghz 

 

So laptop direct into 5 port unmanaged switch we see SIKLU and all other units.

 

laptop logged into TP AP connected into same switch, and we see nothing

There is no router on this small setup.

169 in IP is a typo

When plugged into switch, can you access AP web interface?

 

When connected wirelessly to AP can you access AP web interface?

 

What is netmask and def gateway configured on AP?

YES

YES

255.255.255.0

No Gateway

 

all other devices have no gateway and we can still hit them with a laptop connected to a switch

What do your arp tables look like when the laptop is connected to the switch vs connected via AP (output of "arp -a" command, win or linux)?

 

When wireless connected via AP, what does the output of "tracert 192.168.1.4" (Win) or "traceroute 192.168.1.4" (Linux) look like?

 

Did you set a gateway IP on the AP in the STATIC IP (not Fallback IP) section or not?

Did you set the VLAN for the SSID to 0 (I assume the 225 also uses 0 to disable tagging?)?

 

Something seems to be interfering with the ARP process...you ask for 192.168.1.4 and your OS translates that into a L2 ARP message saying who has IP 192.168.1.4...please respond with your MAC address. (That's the reason I am asking for the arp tables above).  Across a switch this is working, for some reason, across the AP it is not.

 

I'm trying to see if there's a setting somewhere...ie gateway or no gateway set, no VLAN tag, I'd be curious if when wirelessly connected you can see the MAC address of the 5port switch.
