Using wireless bridge shows all downstream clients on the switch port for the bridge

[JordanCN]

I have a couple of buildings that are to far apart for ethernet and can't dig a conduit for fiber so I am using a Wireless Bridge - The Ubiquity UBB. Every switch, AP, and my MX is Meraki.

The issue I am having is all my clients on the other side of the bridge are showing as being on the same switch port as the bridge device on the far side of the network instead of where they actually are on the various switches and access points.

Are their settings I need to change so the devices on my Merakis show on the proper devices on the far side of the bridge?

You need to pass all VLANs over the wireless bridge and make sure it participates in LLDP or CDP.  Do you currently have the wireless bridge using a single subnet?

[JordanCN]

I can confirm The bridge is passing all VLANs.  The wireless bridge settings do not appear to have options change LLDP or CDP settings so I am uncertain if they default to participate.  I will have to check the specs to see if they default to enable LLDP.

Is you switch setting set to:

Network client sampling > Exclude uplink interfaces 

[JordanCN]

After setting the option to  Exclude uplink interfaces, the client list seems to be more in order.  When I click on the details of the client, I get the correct device and port.  

However when check the details of either the upstream or down stream switch, the bridge ports still show a ton of clients on it, but I can just ignore that port in that view.  The rest of the clients are OK.

This should be good enough for my purposes since I would be looking up a client and checking where they are located.
