The LAN for each mesh node should belong to a seperate subnet. LANs of different nodes talk to each other using the mesh routing. | The LAN for each mesh node should belong to a seperate subnet. LANs of different nodes talk to each other using the mesh routing. | ||
The OLSR setting is in the format X/n where 'X' is the network ID of the LAN and 'n' is the subnet mask. | The OLSR setting is in the format X/n where 'X' is the network ID of the LAN and 'n' is the subnet mask. Eg. 192.168.3.0/24 | ||
WLAN is the interface that actually communicates with other nodes in the mesh as well as the non-OLSR users who are logged in through their wireless interfaces. WLAN IP should be kept static and all the WLANs should exist on the same subnet as they directly link to each other. The 'freifunk-dnsmasq'package adds a facility to allocate DHCP IPs to the WLAN interface in order to allow wireless laptop users to use the mesh. | WLAN is the interface that actually communicates with other nodes in the mesh as well as the non-OLSR users who are logged in through their wireless interfaces.
