[B.A.T.M.A.N.] BATMAN ADVANCED KERNEL LAND LOOP
by cipollone 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hi, I'm testing BATMAN Advanced Kernel Land and I've found a problem. I'm using BATMAN-adv over OpenWRT. My test is: 3 virtual machine 2 Ethernet card for each virtual machine 3 Vlan So we have a loop and I hoped that BATMAN solve this but... What's happen is that each virtual machine can send message to itself using the 2 interface. It passes because the BATMAN message are re-broadcasted and at a certain point 1 of machine start to communicate only with itself, disappearing from the network. I need helppp!!! Paolo Cipollone

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] cherry pal with batman protocol
by M. Peterson 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

Hello Mr Seybold, would it be possible, that the cherry pal http://cherrypal.com/ has a wireless chip and this Driver pre-installed? that would allow to build a FON-like network, it is a routing mesh network and all cherrypals could connect wireless to each other. https://www.open-mesh.net/batman Thanks for a feedfback Max

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Fwd: Freifunk@FreeRunner: OLSRD

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Robert Schuster <theBohemian(a)gmx.net> Date: Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 12:01 AM Subject: Freifunk@FreeRunner: OLSRD To: List for Openmoko community discussion <community(a)lists.openmoko.org> Hi, you know we already have B.A.T.M.A.N in OpenEmbedded but now I gave good old OLSRD a try too. I added a recipe for the latest release 0.5.5 and tested it on the device. It is working nicely along with the ar6000 being in ad-hoc mode (the preferred mode for mesh networks ;) ). No luck with 0.5.3 though - it crashes when I want to view the page generated by the httpinfo plugin. I wanted to do some NATting between the wifi interface and the usbnet connection (effectively making my desktop computer an internet gateway for the Berlin Freifunk community). However this was impossible since OpenMoko does not provide the iptables package (you can get the kernel modules but not the userspace application). You can build it on your own and then everything is fine though. There are also some minor issues with the wifi driver. I reported this[0] a while ago already. I am already happy but I would be so even more if: - olsrd version preference could be set to 0.5.5 - iptables could be installed directly via opkg The FreeRunner as a wifi mesh-node is a nice use case for the time after being a mobile phone. It would be one of the very few nodes that have a screen attached. :) I would like to offer screen shots but there is nothing spectacular to see on them. But perhaps you like some console output instead: root@om-gta02:~# iwconfig eth0 eth0 AR6000 802.11g ESSID:"olsr.freifunk.net" Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.457 GHz Cell: 02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:on Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:168/94 Signal level:-183 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 (A fixed BSSID of '02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE' is what we use in Berlin to overcome some problems with ad-hoc mode specification.)

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Re: routing script
by freifunk＠ddmesh.de 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi Antonio, As I know you can not directly trigger to change the default route. batmand allows you to setup a ip address that should be used as gateway. <batmand -p ip> What the script does I don't know. Actually I do not use it as the routing that batmand-experimental does with its arguments works fine. > ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0 src 169.254.0.1 dev gate0 table 68 does setup a default route for dev gate0. gate0 is created by batmand and the ip is taken from a ip range that is never routed in internet. As soon as batmand detects a working gateway it creates this tunnel and the tunnel interface gate0. Depending on the routing parameters "-r" batmand chooses the gateway. If you specify the -p option to pass a ip of the network (not from range 169.254.x.x) and the gateway is working, it is used. If this gateway does not work, batmand chooses the gateway depending on the -r option. if you look at the router script you will see that it only prints the commands and does not really execute it. You have to remove the "echo" in front of the command or keep the line and add your own commands to add/del the rules/routes. If not no routes are setup at all and your network shouldn't work. When I remember right, if you specifiy a routing script batmand does not set rules/routes anymore and pass the complete control to the script. /Stephan > Hi Stephan > > I too am interested to capture the gateway-switching from application > layer, but looking at the log produced by a custom-policy-routing > script I can only see something like: > > ip route add 0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0 src 169.254.0.1 dev gate0 table 68 > > that is the initialization of the tunnel with a 169.254/16 IP address. > Any idea about triggering the gateway change? > > I've a bit edited the default script as included, hope this could be > useful. > > > Antonio > > > >

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] using routing script in addtion to batman routing rules
by freifunk＠ddmesh.de 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi, I'm using batmand-experimental rev 1066 and it works fine. The batmand sets all routes and rules as I have specified by arguments. But additional I need to run a script to detect any routing changes of the deamon. It is important that batmand still sets the routes as usual and also runs the "routing-script" in addition to it. I like to use this for other purposes. I have heard that you already have a similar functionality implemented in different batman branches. But this option will turn off setting the routes and rules of batmand. Can you please add/merge this functionality it to the exp-branch and perhaps add an option so that the normal route/rule setting is not turned off. The reason for this is that I like to detect the current gateway changes. Another questions is, why does the node that offers a gateway not be listed itself in its batmand -cd2 screen? It is possible that you add this. The web interface of the router displays the currently used gateway, but it does not list it if the router self offers the internet connection. I just grep for the "==>" of the batmand -cbd2 screen. Regards Stephan

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Batman doesn't add default route...
by thomas anderson 22 Jun '08

22 Jun '08

I can't understund why the batmand doesn't add the default route for go on internet. My configuration is: The fonera (192.168.9.1) has internet throught the eth0 interface with class ip 192.168.1.X/24 On fonera i start batman with this command: batmand -s 192.168.9.1 -g 9 ath0 And on the client computer (192.168.9.4) i start batmand with this computer: batmand -s 192.168.9.1 -r 3 -p 192.168.9.1 eth1 The problem is that when i start batman on the client pc it doesn't add the default route to 192.168.9.1 infact if i add it manually with: route add default gw 192.168.9.1 everything goes ok and i can surf on internet but without the manual add of the route i can't surf.. Can someone help me? Eidos

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Problems Multi radios
by Damian Ivereigh 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

I am duplicating Shane Chao's setup with three nodes - the central one having two radios on different channels - each one on the same channel as one of the other two nodes. node 1 node 2 node 3 10.232.0.1 10.232.0.3 10.232.0.2 ------ ------ ------ wlan0 <--ch 50--> wlan0 wlan1 <--ch 58-> wlan1 When they are all on the same channel (and the central node is just using one radio), batman works fine - node 2 relays between the two (node 1 and node3 can't hear each other due to an obstruction). However when I get batman to run on both interfaces, I can no longer talk between node 1 and node 2 at all. In fact even if node 3 is turned off, just running batmand on both interfaces of node 2 stops it working. What is wierd is that node 1 can't seem to get its routes organised so that when it tries to send packets back to node 2, its gets (-d4 log):- Error - can't send requested ip to client (10.232.0.3): Network is unreachable It can hear packets coming from node 2 just fine. More log:- Received BATMAN packet via NB: 10.232.0.3, IF: wlan1 10.232.0.1 (from OG: 10.231.0.3, via old OG: 10.231.0.3, seqno 5126, tq 255, TTL 50, V 5, IDF 0) [ 5187150] HNA information received (1 HNA network): [ 5187150] hna: 10.232.0.3/32 [ 5187150] Creating new originator: 10.231.0.3 [ 5187150] updating last_seqno: old 0, new 5126 [ 5187150] Drop packet: OGM via unkown neighbor! I am not so much looking for someone to help me to debug this, just a confirmation that multiple interfaces does work OK.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Securing batman networks
by Damian Ivereigh 15 Jun '08

15 Jun '08

Does anyone have any experience with securing batman networks (or more to the point the adhoc networks it is based on)? My setup will be a relatively planned infrastructure with all units controlled by myself, so embedding keys etc won't really be an issue. Can you use WPA2 with adhoc networks? How does this work with wpa_supplicant & hostapd (which are obviously designed for use with access point infrastructure). When I use the term "security" I am looking at it at several levels:- 1) Stopping rogue units joining the network. 2) Encrypting the traffic to stop eavesdropping. 3) Stopping others from hijacking the connections (either between nodes or via the gateways). I realise this is a different style from the community mesh network, open to everyone, that Batman appears to have been part of up to now. In Australia bandwidth is so limited (and expensive) that people here are generally not willing to share it, so there is almost no chance of a community arising of its own accord.
