Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] My proposed network - is it ok?

Hi again,

I've been trying to test this idea a bit but I'm a bit concerned - does BATMAN only work with AdHoc wireless NICs?

I have a server with an Ethernet NIC with an IP 5.0.0.1/8. I've got a transparent AP bridge with an IP of 5.1.0.1/8 and normally I can ping it from my server.

But when I enable BATMAN on the ethernet NIC I can no longer ping 5.1.0.1 -

Maybe this is due to an IP2 rule/route? I can see that this is due to a IP2 rule "from all to 5.0.0.0/8 lookup 67" and routes for table 67 is "unreachable default proto static"

So I'm wondering if it's possible to have part of the network as Ethernet rather than AdHoc wirless? (in my case with a transparent wireless bridge in the "middle" of the ethernet but that doesn't matter)

thanks for any info

Derek

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to install a BATMAN based MESH node (10dBM omni) in a housing estate connected via a 2KM transparent bridge 5Ghz wireless link to the data centre.

Is it OK to have my base station(s) MESH openwrt boards have BATMAN running on two interfaces? the Ethernet NIC (to bridge) - & WIFI omni.

The reason I'm asking is that I'd like the base station(s) to find their last hop to be the datacentre server (running BATMAN).

I want to keep the Internet NATing in one place (datacentre gateway server) - this would ensure I'd have no problem with flapping routes once I have multiple base stations up.

Does this sound ok to you? Its the BATMAN on two interfaces thing I'm concerned about - will it work I wonder?

thanks for any info
