Re: [lime-dev] bmx6 basics

It is probably because the network interfaces you are trying to use are down. You can make a very simple test like this (from scratch): 1) Remove the current configuration: mv /etc/config/bmx6 /etc/config/bmx6.old 2) Start bmx6 daemon without configuring any network interface: bmx6 3) Now you can use "bmx6 -c" to talk with the daemon 4) Bring up a network interface, for instance: ip link set eth0 up You can also use an existing WiFi network device or also the br-lan, do not worry, bmx6 won't remove any IP already configured in such devices 5) Add the network interface to bmx6: bmx6 -c dev=eth0 6) Check the current config status with: bmx6 -cp Bmx6 has added a new IPv6 address to your network interface, you don't have to worry about it. Check it with: ip addr show eth0 You'll find something like this inet6 fd66:66:66:2:120b:a9ff:fe7b:23c0/64 scope global So if you connect another device to the network interface and you do the same, both nodes will be already connected via bmx6 (check it with bmx6 -c links). You can add as many network interfaces as you want. If you want to save the configuration, just execute: uci commit bmx6 And you will see the changes made on /etc/config/bmx6 Cheers.
