60GHz PTMP with 5gz Failover Sanity Check

joshhboss · Thu Jan 18, 2024 1:58 am

Now I did do my research !! and found this link here that kind of led me to what I feel is a working setup for these (3) 60G AC Cubes.. working as a 60ghz PTMP with 5gz FailOver..

viewtopic.php?p=998884#p998884

I did have some issues getting things to work with the Master side having "put-stations-in-bridge=none" but after putting station into the bridge (on all sides)it feels like it worked.. I disabled the 60g and noticed that the link failed over and noticed in the bonding tab that is was switching accordingly from 60 as the active link to the wlan1.

I believe the key that led this to work was only having the bonding interface setup on the client (station sides)

If possible id appreciate any insight to make sure my config is right.

Short answer: Yes. On AP side put all 60GHz and 5GHz radios in the same Layer 2 network (bridge/LAN/VLAN) and set up CPE bond to be active/passive (or active/backup, whatever it is).

This will also allow you to pass VLAN tags through, so long as the bridge/switch/router at the AP side has all VLANs tagged to all participating ports.
