-SYNOPSIS +\subsection{SYNOPSIS}

-DESCRIPTION +\subsection{DESCRIPTION} You can start batmand without specifying options, but you have to choose at least one interface batman runs on. $ batmand eth1 If you have more interfaces, then you just add them behind the first. $ batmand eth1 eth2 eth3 The batman daemon can also run on alias interfaces. Note that we use alias interfaces to separate batman routing protocol and olsr routing protocol. $ batmand eth1:test1 eth2:test2 eth3:test3 Note that the batman daemon will take the ip address and the broadcast address from the given interfaces. Note also that you have to check whether your essid, channel or wifi mode is correct or not.

Node A can announce more than one network. To announce two networks execute the following command: $ batmand a 192.168.100.101/24 a 192.168.200.201/24 eth1 Note that node A has to have a route to connect the node or network. s visualization server Since no topology database is computed by the protocol an additional solution to create topology graphs has been implemented, the Vis Server. Batman daemons may send their local view about their single hop neighbors to the Vis server. The Vis Server collects the information and provides data in a format similar to OLSR?s topology information output. Therefore existing solutions to draw topology graphs developed for OLSR can be used to visualize mesh clouds using B.A.T.M.A.N.
