Hello I have two questions which most of you may find very novice.
I set up a batman mesh network between 3 nodes..all running B.A.T.M.A.N. adv openwrt-2018.4-0 on batman V protocol. And also installed alfred which version 2016.5
node-1 ( 00:30:1a:4e:aa:20 ) connection IF Neighbor last-seen 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 0.190s ( 15.8) [ wlan0] 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d 0.050s ( 8.9) [ wlan0]
node-2 ( 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 ) connection IF Neighbor last-seen 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d 0.420s ( 22.7) [ wlan0] 00:30:1a:4e:aa:20 0.520s ( 15.8) [ wlan0]
node-3 ( 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d )connection IF Neighbor last-seen 00:30:1a:4e:aa:20 0.500s ( 9.0) [ wlan0] 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 0.180s ( 22.6) [ wlan0]
No clients connected to any of the nodes. Only one of them (node 1) is connected br-wan port to my internal gateway. And all others are reachable via this node (node1)
alfred output does not show any neighborhood on this case.. alfred config is ; config 'alfred' 'alfred' option interface 'br-wan' option mode 'master' option batmanif 'bat0' option start_vis '1' option run_facters '1'
node-1 digraph { subgraph "cluster_00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" { "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" } "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "6c:4b:90:61:e3:d6" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "02:b9:87:a6:4f:66" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "28:d2:44:68:bd:1b" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "90:6c:ac:51:b9:dc" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "34:29:8f:74:59:c9" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "50:7b:9d:56:43:08" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "00:30:1a:4e:aa:21" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "02:b9:87:a6:4f:66" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "00:25:36:c1:13:3a" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:20" -> "00:24:9b:53:55:62" [label="TT"
node-2 digraph { subgraph "cluster_00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" { "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" } "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "32:21:1f:29:72:04" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "00:30:1a:4e:aa:24" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "32:21:1f:29:72:04" [label="TT"] }
node-3
digraph { subgraph "cluster_00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d" { "00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d" } "00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d" -> "3a:ed:c5:16:bb:e6" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d" -> "00:30:1a:4e:aa:1e" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d" -> "3a:ed:c5:16:bb:e6" [label="TT"] }
Even after adding an ethernet client to node 2.. the output replaced as digraph { subgraph "cluster_00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" { "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" } "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "32:21:1f:29:72:04" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "00:30:1a:4e:aa:24" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "32:21:1f:29:72:04" [label="TT"] "00:30:1a:4e:aa:23" -> "00:24:9b:53:55:62" [label="TT"] This client traffic is normally passing from eth port of the node-2 to node-3 via wifi, and then node 1 via wifi and then eth of node-1 to internet.
but didnt see an update on other nodes even node 1 has all the traffic carrying to the new added client. Is it something expected? Or am I missing something?
By the way.. on batctl tg output.. the client appears on the list Client VID Flags Last ttvn Via ttvn (CRC ) * 32:21:1f:29:72:04 0 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 ( 2) (0x3e5717a8) * 3a:ed:c5:16:bb:e6 -1 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d ( 1) (0x10f0fbd0) * 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1e -1 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d ( 1) (0x10f0fbd0) * 3a:ed:c5:16:bb:e6 0 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:1d ( 1) (0x2eef010b) * 00:30:1a:4e:aa:24 -1 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 ( 2) (0xcfe8055b) * 32:21:1f:29:72:04 -1 [....] ( 1) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 ( 2) (0xcfe8055b) * 00:24:9b:53:55:62 -1 [....] ( 2) 00:30:1a:4e:aa:23 ( 2) (0xcfe8055b)
Second question is valid only after I see the neighborhood information correct.. Which tool can I use on openwrt to visualize this relation between nodes.Any ready tools for luci?
