Coovachilli bridging just like cloudtrax

How can i manage to use the coovachilli software in bridgemode (without DHCP/routing and nat).
Just like the Cloudtrax accesspoints and ubiquiti unifi software does!

Modem <---> Router <----------------> Switch <--> AP <-------------> Client

Where the dhcp server is on the router and the client is receiving the dhcp directly from the router.. (192.168.200.X)
Where the AP is the Coovachilli network access controller which is communicating with an external portal server.
Where the Router is Gateway
Where the switch is a dumb switch

The reason that i want to use coovachilli at the AP's instead of using the Router for coova is that i want to know at which accesspoint a client is connected. Even when i'm meshing.

(we have a verry big network with point to point connections whereby i want to make roaming possible(1 big subnet??) but also want to limit users to a specific group of accesspoints(Coova on every AP???))

i hope someone can help me out!

Someone compile

Can someone please compile an IPK file for coovachilli with --enable-layer3
for OPENWRT (stable)

i tried but when i installed it, iti cannot start it.. The main.conf and hs.conf are created.. But when i try to start(in debug) "chilli --layer3 -fd" it gave me an error.

Thanks!!!

Try using --layer3

You might want to try using the relatively new layer3 only option available since 1.2.6. It will make coova run on layer3 only and will disable all layer2 features and the DHCP.

Here is the entry from 1.2.6 change log:
Added compile time option --enable-layer3 and run-time option --layer3 to enable a Layer3 (IP-Only) style captive portal - no DHCP

how does it work

Ok, tnx for your tip! But do you know where i can find documentation how that layer 3 thing works, or does nothing change for me when i compile en run the layer 3 mode?
