Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] How to force a specific network topology

I have looking for a solution, but I think that it is imposible do this for this way.

This topic talks about it: https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2011-July/005167.html

and Sven talks about two diferent ways:

change the driver of mac80211 in order to be compatible with 4addr mode or make a transparent bridge(that I don't know how do it)

Other solutios would be simulate the network, or add a OMG filter patch to batman-adv.

Am I correct?

Hi again

I'm still having problems with this issue

I can not bridge wlan0 for use ebtables.Now I am bridging without eth0, only with the wireless interfaces. With the device freshly rebooted and with empty /etc/rc.local :

brctl addbr bridgeWlan brctl addif bridgeWlan wlan0 brctl: bridge bridgeWlan: Operation not supported

I searched for this I found that you can set this if you do:

iw dev wlan0 set 4addr on

but you only can do this if your wireless interface is in mode ap, and mine is on adhoc. So I can't set the bridge with batman (batctl if add bridgeWlan) This is my wireless device configuration in /etc/confiog/wireless

config wifi-iface option device radio0 option network lan option mode adhoc option ssid netmesh option encryption none

¿Do you know how could I set the bridges correctly for ebtables filtering?

Thanks! Regards

Esteban

Thanks you very much Gui and Sven

Now I understand the configuration and install ebtables has seem quite simple.

Hi Sven

I don't understand very well what are you meaning. Now I have 1 bridge over with batman-adv:

batctl if add wlan0 brctl addbr mesh-bridge brctl addif mesh-bridge eth0 brctl addif mesh-bridge bat0

Then, should I add a bridge to wlan0 and after bridge it again with the eth0?

brctl addbr bridgeWlan brctl addif bridgeWlan wlan0

batctl if add mesh-bridge brctl addbr mesh-bridge brctl addif mesh-bridge eth0 brctl addif mesh-bridge bat0

Not quite. I think he meant:

brctl addbr mesh-bridge brctl addif mesh-bridge eth0 brctl addif mesh-bridge bat0

batctl if del wlan0 brctl addbr bridgeWlan brctl addif bridgeWlan wlan0

batctl if add bridgeWlan

and from there, ebtables.
