SF VPN over WifiWAN

Everything Else
1

I would like to make a SF VPN between two B-Ones that both are WAN-wise in the same Wifi. The wifi has no client seperation. I set up remote ID and password and set the respective IPs of the Wifi-WAN-Interface. It does not connect.
Is this scenario possible at all? Or not because I am going thru a private network?
Or do I have to make a SFC and go over the Cloud?

Hi, @mixmexmax

Are you trying to do a WiFi bridge or a WiFi extender?
Also… Are you using same tcp/ip address network at both sides/devices?

I guess you would called it a wifi-bridge. I´ll explain the situation: we are an AV-company and have an event coming up on a site with multiple buildings. At this event we have two stages in different buildings. We want to connect our tech-network in the second building to that in the main building, so that we can reach the fileserver that has all the presentations on it. There are no cable-connections possible between the buildings. But there is a campus-wide Wifi that also provides internet access. So the idea is to have both B-Ones connected to this wifi as WAN and then set up a tunnel between them, so that we can route traffic between the two LANs, each having a different IP-space.

ahhh… okay…

Some steps to test…

This WiFi network… allow devices to see one each other?
so…
connect the first b-one at this wifi
connect the second b-one at this wifi.
Check the tcp/ip address at the wan in each b-one
can they ping one each other?

May this WiFi network have a flag called Layer 2 Isolation, enabled by default.

Why not ask their IT department to reconfigure their network ports and create a vlan for you? It happens all of the time. They can also probably create a temporary ssid and wireless network

@mystery: As mostly, we must work with what we get. Of course we asked for specific things for us, but the location owner was not able to supply any of our requests. The event is next week and I am trying the setup in my office.

@Marcelo: I just setup the two routers again for further testing ( somebody packed them away) and magically they connected. So problem solved, although I do not know what kept them from connecting the last time.
