Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] link alternation when radios are not on batman-adv router?

Hi Guido, In both configurations described, there's one router running batman and the other connected via ethernet which is not. The function of the latter is just to forward batman packets between ethernet and wifi. That way the batman routers see alternative paths to their neighbours

You can try taking eth0 out of the bridge and adding it to bat0 that way you wouldn't need to mess with ebtables? As there would be no bridged interfaces, batman would be the only one forwarding packets between eth0 and wlan0. With hop penalty. On 7/13/12, gto...@inti.gob.ar gto...@inti.gob.ar

Ah, i missed this sentence In the normal configuration with batman managing eth0 it doesn't work. why? How was the setup? Which batman version? I came across something like this (reported in a previous thread) but so far i haven't had spare time to reproduce it again to debug it. On 7/14/12,

Hi. We've been trying two different configurations to use link alternation with two routers conected via ethernet. In both cases in each pair of routers one runs batman and the other only forwards traffic between ethernet and wifi, as Simon suggested: 1) First in the forwarding routers we

I have an interesting hardware setup I'd like to explore. Basically, I would like to take commodity ubiquiti and/or openmesh hardware and build a mesh with two different node types, some having just 1 radio and others having multiple radios, a standard node and a super node. the standard node

sorry if I wasnt clear, ill explain in-line: If i got your setup right, you plan to flash openwrt on all the nanostations that belong to the supernode, but install batman-adv only on the 'central' router, with a single eth nic. In that case, batman-adv has no (manual or automatic) way of
