Hi, Marek. Every nodes run the same version of batman. I attatch the topology of my mesh network.When b0:c6:9b:80:01:53 is on (working),b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f can reach b0:c6:9b:80:01:43,and the hole network is ok.b0:c6:9b:80:01:5b's nexthop to b0:c6:9b:80:01:43 is b0:c6:9b:80:01:57 or b0:c6:9b:80:01:6c, and sometimes b0:c6:9b:80:01:53. But when I shut b0:c6:9b:80:01:53 down,it seems b0:c6:9b:80:01:5b can't reach b0:c6:9b:80:01:57 neither b0:c6:9b:80:01:6c,as I mentioned in my firt email. When I turn b0:c6:9b:80:01:53 on again,the hole mesh is ok again. Marek,can you tell me what the problem probably is.

Hi,
I saw strange batman logs while testing a batman-adv mesh. Batman-adv module was continuously generating the same logs including a " Creating new originator: b0:c6:9b:80:01:43". But b0:c6:9b:80:01:43 never appears in the output of 'batctl o': admin@HND-Mesh:~# batctl o [B.A.T.M.A.N. adv 2012.0.0, MainIF/MAC: wlan0/b0:c6:9b:80:01:5b (bat0)] Originator last-seen (#/255) Nexthop [outgoingIF]: Potential nexthops ... b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c 0.010s (255) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c [ wlan0]: b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f (209) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (231) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (227) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c (255) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c ( 0) b0:c6:9b:80:01:45 3.830s (223) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f [ wlan0]: b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c (209) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b ( 0) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b ( 0) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f (223) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b 4.520s (255) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b [ wlan0]: b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f (206) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c (245) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (255) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (251) b0:c6:9b:80:01:3b 1.570s (237) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f [ wlan0]: b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c (226) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b ( 0) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b ( 0) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f (237) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f 3.520s (255) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f [ wlan0]: b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (231) b0:c6:9b:80:01:6b (227) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5c (244) b0:c6:9b:80:01:5f (255)
Now I can nerver reach b0:c6:9b:80:01:43. Anyone tell me why this happens?
according to your logs OGMs from b0:c6:9b:80:01:43 are received via nodes that are not in your routing table either:
- b0:c6:9b:80:01:57
- b0:c6:9b:80:01:6c
Therefore you see the warning: Drop packet: OGM via unknown neighbor! Batman-adv can't create a route to a an originator without having a next hop.
Do all nodes in your network run the same batman-adv version (2012.0.0) ?
Regards, Marek
