Normally, you don't any specific rules to make it work - it works as-is out of the box unless your system configures a firewall. If you tell your system to disable the firewall entirely everything will work. What distribution are you using ? OpenWRT ?
I am using OpenWrt Backfire. One sign that I am using nonstandard setting is that a non-batman node will end up in a throw route of the batman nodes. But if it should work without firewall, then I will be happy with my current setup.
The gateway handling (i.e. gate0) is documented: http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/InternetTuning Feel free to ask questions that the documentation does not answer. :-)
Thank you for the link. What I am seeing is that traffic from local wifi net does not "go down" to the tunnels, but goes through the batman nodes untunneled. Maybe I have to set up some routes from the local wifi net? For your reference here is the network setup again (N is the node number, ip of the node/netmask len): backbone batman network: 10.42.0.N/24 (for batman nodes) local wifi net: 10.42.N.1/24 (for non-batman users, dhcp served from the node in force mode) local lan: 10.43.N.1/24 (for wired users, DHCP served from the node)
This is why I try to figure out whether my config is sound enough before I give it to my village (some 8 thousand people).
Wow, sounds interesting. Where will that be ?
Páty, Hungary. We are experimenting with participatory democracy, and this is one of the side effects:)
