Batman can announce these network addresses (also known as HNA) which tells every other batman node to send the data for this network segment back to the announcing host (assuming this host knows how to reach the destination). + +All following examples can also be applied as startup parameters. For the sake of simplicity we assume there is a running batman daemon on the system that we can connect to. + +Adding the announcement for e.g. the local network: +batmand -c -a 192.168.1.0/24 + +Adding multiple announcements in one go: +batmand -c -a 192.168.1.0/24 -a 192.168.100.123/32 + +Removing an announcement: +batmand -c -A 192.168.1.0/24 + +Removing multiple announcements in one go: +batmand -c -A 192.168.1.0/24 -A 192.168.100.123/32 + +It is worth noting that globally announced networks always give precendece to locally announced networks. + +Batman 0.3.2 (and later versions) allow multiple nodes to announce the same network segment. You may have one non-batman network but several entry points to it. All border nodes can announce the same network. Receiving batman nodes choose their entry point based on the best TQ value available. +
