Hi,

I'd like to use a configuration in a batman-adv openwrt mesh network in which the batman gateway relays the DHCP messages to and from a non batman-adv router. I think that's not a typical configuration right? Should it work? Do I need some additional packages? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it should work just fine, you should set gw_mode=master in the correspondent batman-adv gateway, but turn its dhcp server off.

So, when dhcp packets get to that node, it will naturally relay them over br-lan and they will reach the non-batman-adv router.

That setup is more typical than what you might think of :)

(we have used it this way in at least 4 or 5 different cases)

cheers!
