Is the setup clear enough now? or am I missing the point as to what is unclear? Please ask whatever needs to be clarified.
Hello Nicolás,
I think I got your point. First, you are talking about the "normal" AP isolation feature that you can enable in hostapd, right? Because in batman-adv we have our own (Distributed) AP-isolation but it has different effects and behaviours.
The behaviour is correct: OGMs are broadcast packets. In infrastructure mode, whatever broadcast packet a station sends gets to the AP which will re-broadcast it again. In this way every station gets it and from the batman-adv point of view it is like the packet was received directly from the other sta (the MAC addresses in the packet say so). Therefore you must enable ap-isolation in hostapd if you want batman-adv to behave as you expect.
Cheers,
