Using an AP Bridge on Aruba IAP-205-US system.

Trying to use Trendnet Wireless Bridge with an Aruba IAP-205-US as the AP.

I have a small office in a warehouse that we want to run a few desktops off of using  Trendnet TEW-740APBO connecting to a ceiling mounted Aruba IAP-205-US.

The Trendnet connects and If I assign a static IP to the devices, it passes traffic, but DHCP does not work.

I can't find anything in either side Trendnet or Aruba that should block or allow this.

this should be possible, lots of little things to check.

What mode is the Trendnet in? Client Bridge + APMode? Assuming you are assigning the IP address in the same subnet as the wifi? Is the aruba providing DHCP or some other device on the network? Is there DHCP address space available?

Depending on these answers, you may need to change the DHCP or DHCP relay agent settings on the aruba
