You appear to be having two unrelated issues, and it's very difficult to work out what's going on from your somewhat confused descriptions. I would suggest first getting a pure mesh to work (without gateways), and only then to try adding your DHCP/NAT-ing stuff. > Once I restart the master machine (where I run babeld with "-C > 'redistribute metric 128'") either all the routes come back on all the > devices or all the devices get negative routes and they are never > fixed. (waited for half hour). That's most probably a DHCP issue. Most DHCP clients don't install a default route if there's already one, and will not install a new default route if the previous default route disappears. The basic issue is that that's not what DHCP is designed for -- it's designed for configuring end hosts, not routers. The right solution would be to have a statically configured address and route on your gateway; if you insist on running DHCP on the gateway, you could partially work around it by doing in ip 0.0.0.0/0 le 0 deny > Every few minutes, we keep getting negative routes in the routing > table and then routes correct themselves. Have you definitely ruled out your interfaces going down-up because of hardware problems? Babeld will flush all routes that go through a downed interface, and will take up to a dozen seconds in its default configuration to recover. You can work around the issue by reducing the hello interval. But there's only so much that can be done with unreliable hardware. Sorry I cannot be of more help, but there's only so much that can be debugged remotely. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
