Hello,
I’ve initially asked my question at
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-sdk/issues/93 but have been redirected to
this mailing list and I hopie this is the right place to ask.
I'm trying to figure one thing out and can't wrap my head around it - maybe
someone could help me with it.
I create a small mesh network (2-7 devices) and it works fine initially. I
connect with my PC to it and can ssh/ping and open LuCi over IPv4 and IPv6
addresses in IPv6 fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: subnet (which is shown in LuCi
under
http://thisnode.info/cgi-bin/luci/status/bmx6/Nodes ) and
2a00:1508:ac6:d000:: (which is my option main_ipv6_address
'2a00:1508:0a%N1:%N200::/64' in /etc/config/lime).
After around an hour of working the fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: address become's
unavailable and only 2a00:1508:ac6:d000:: works. This only fixes after I
reconnect to the Mesh Wifi network from my PC.
I'm totally ok with using main_ipv6_address but LuCi bmx6/nodes shows only
addresses from fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: subnet which makes it very hard for
end user to know what is the actual address of specific device (not to
mention obtaining it's IPv4 address). Is there a way around this, eg.
forcing Luci to show only the 2a00:1508:ac6:d000:: address or how to make
fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: not disappear after a while? For me this would be
ideal scenario because figuring the IP address of each node is difficult -
I understand how it’s calculated from MAC address but still looking for a
single place which would list all the nodes addresses
from 2a00:1508:ac6:d000:: subnet.

Target is ar71xx/generic and profile is carambola2. I can repeat exactly
the same for

when
flashed with
lede-17.01.2-lime-default-ar71xx-generic-carambola2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- just ping the 2a00:1508:ac6:d000:: and fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: and after
30-60minutes the fd66:66:66:7:c693:ff: will become unavailable but
2a00:1508:ac6:d000::
will work just fine.
