Now batman advanced nodes behind the VPN does not get listet in the originator tables of nodes on the other side of the VPN. But do they get listed on the gateway list? Can Batman advanced choose a gateway behind the VPN?
No, because the gateway information travel with the OGMs which you don't have on your VPN. Sending dhcp requests via unicast also does not work because the VPN interfaces are not controlled by batman.
I just had another Idea but I´m not shure if this will work.
If we don´t use the Batman advanced gateway feature but run a DHCP Server on gateways only, would a client always choose the "nearest" DHCP server?
So if I´m connected wireless to a router that is a gateway and runs a dhcp server would my laptop always choose this router as defaultroute also if there are other routers in the network with a dhcp server running?
If this works I can not choose the "best" gateway, but I would always have the nearest gateway.
If this works, is it possible that all dhcp servers distribute the same ip range? Will a client/server notice which IP´s are already assigned to clients?
Thank you Clemens
