Hi Martin

Thanks you, I have seen the description and I think that your patch is what we are looking for. I'm gonna try to test it, but I'm a totally newbie in patches issues. Could you tell me superficially what I have to do for rebase the patch before to build it and add it to our nodes?

Thanks you

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

And then, should I install ebtables in all the nodes(now we have 9 nodes, and only 1 have internet access to install it directly) It seem a little difficult for me :-)

Could I try another method?something like set paths manually? In 802.11s we have a usefull comand for block links undesirables: iw dev INTERFACE_MESH_NAME station set MAC_ADD plink_option block nothing similar like that in batman-adv?

Hi Esteban

You can try my patch to filter OGMs: http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/shortlog/refs/heads/hundeboll/filter

The commit message tells how to use it. Unfortunately, its base is quite old, but it should be easy to rebase. Otherwise I can rebase it when I return from Canada next week...

Cheers, Martin

PS: Sorry for top posting. This Android client want let me change it :(

Hi list

Is there any way to block some links between nodes in order to force a specific network topology in batman-adv?

Por example, if y have 3 nodes A, B, C and I want to create a string topology A <-> B <-> C, where A can not connect directly with C, how could I get it without move far away the nodes?

You can try to add a your interface to a bridge (only one interface per bridge) and add this bridge to batman-adv. Now you can filter packets using ebtables (and therefore drop packets from specific hosts).

Kind regards, Sven

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.

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.
