- Wired mesh (Mesh-on-WAN/LAN)
- ============================
- In addition to meshing over WLAN and VPN, it is also possible to
- configured wired meshing over the LAN or WAN ports. This allows
- nodes to be connected directly or over wireless bridges.
- Mesh-on-WAN can be enabled in addition to the mesh VPN, so multiple nodes
- in the same local network that is used as VPN uplink can also mesh directly.
- Enabling Mesh-on-WAN should be avoided if the local network is also bridged with
- a WLAN access point, as meshing over batman-adv causes large amounts of
- multicast traffic, which will take up a lot of airtime.
- Enabling Mesh-on-LAN will replace the normal "client network" function
- of the LAN ports, as client network ports may never be connected (so care must be taken to always
- enable Mesh-on-LAN before connecting two nodes' LAN ports).
- Configuration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Both Mesh-on-WAN and Mesh-on-LAN can be configured on the "Network" page
- of the *Advanced settings* (if the package ``gluon-luci-portconfig`` is installed).
- It is also possible to enable Mesh-on-WAN and Mesh-on-LAN by default by
- adding ``mesh_on_wan = true`` and ``mesh_on_lan = true`` to ``site.conf``.
- Commandline configuration
- -------------------------
- Mesh-on-WAN
- ...........
- It's possible to enable Mesh-on-WAN like this::
- uci set network.mesh_wan.auto=1
- uci commit
- It may be disabled by running::
- uci set network.mesh_wan.auto=0
- uci commit
- Mesh-on-LAN
- ...........
- Configuring Mesh-on-LAN is a bit more complicated::
- uci set network.mesh_lan.auto=1
- for ifname in $(cat /lib/gluon/core/sysconfig/lan_ifname); do
- uci del_list network.client.ifname=$ifname
- done
- uci commit
- It may be disabled by running::
- uci set network.mesh_lan.auto=0
- for ifname in $(cat /lib/gluon/core/sysconfig/lan_ifname); do
- uci add_list network.client.ifname=$ifname
- done
- uci commit
- Please note that this configuration has changed in Gluon v2016.1. Using
- the old commands on v2016.1 and later will break the corresponding options
- in the *Advanced settings*.
