Hi all,
when we first tried to install libre-mesh (on a ubnt bullet and a
picostation, but that's not the point) we were confused by the fact
that the usual
ping6 ff02::1%eth0
that we do in order to discover the addresses of the available devices
in the net was NOT working as expected, it was like each device was
isolated from the rest of the net.
We identified the problem with the multicast mode of batman-adv, in
fact with
batctl multicast_mode 0
everything works fine again.
Can anyone reproduce this behavior?
According to
http://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-optimizations
it seems that batman drops the data when there are no listeners.
A multicast ping6 actually doesn't have registered listeners, so it
seems an exception to the rule, shall we file a bug in batman-adv or
are we missing something?

We also experienced this behavior. By default (if using lime-build) the
multicast feature is disabled to prevent this problem.
Not sure if the batman-adv guys will do something to add this
"exception" but you can try :)

It's an exception in the optimization code, but in general an
optimization shouldn't change the behavior of what it's trying to
optimize, imho.
I'll contact them soon and hope for the best :)

Well, take into account that Bat-adv is not designed to work according
the lime network architecture. We are doing many hacks to achieve the
objectives of our project (mix layer2 and layer3 routing).
Another example is the ARP cache plugin of batman-adv, I made us crazy
during the first implementations of LiMe until we found the ARP plugin
was messing everything ;)

Well in this case as ping6 ff02::1%interface is a supercommon practice accross
ipv6 folks they should fix this, moreover this can be a simptom of broken
ICMPv6 in batman.adv networks, and in IPv6 unlikely IPv4 if you break ICMPv6
you broke the whole stack ;)
So David I encourage you to send a report on batman-adv ML and keep us
informed ;)
Cheers!

New subject: [lime-users] How to get nodes ip's
hello libre-mesh team
I have flashed some routers with libre mesh
2 nanostation 2
1tp link mr3020
1 tplink wa5210g
I'd like to know how can i get the ips of each device, since i cant get them using
those ip tools available for android which tell you the devices attached to your network.
I'd like to make some adjustments through ssh but without the ip is impossible. the
main goal is to setup nodogsplash in order to show some terms but also to redirect to a
local server for services.
thanks in advance

the easiest way is to ask for a dhcp lease, connected by ethernet or by
wifi, and check who replies that.
ssh into that gateway, and work from there.
if you're inside one of the nodes and bmx6 is running on the mesh, you
can see an ipv6 of each node in
# bmx6 -c show originators
(Each node has many ipv6, but at least you'll have 1 of them for each)
cheers!

You can also use the web interface of any node. As Gui said, check the
IP of the gateway and go via browser http://IP_gateway, you will see the
DHCP leases (IPv4) and go to Network->BMX6 to see the IPv6 addresses.
You can also use IPv6 link-local to reach the nodes, check this [1]

New subject: [lime-users] How to get nodes ip's
many thanks for your answers, i will try them on the routers.
On the nanostations 2 and wa5210g i built a custom image without web interface,
that's why i am blind.
I am facing an strange issue. I plug one nano to the isp cablemodem, then turn on a second
node without internet. For a moment i have internet on the second node but then the
connection goes down and there's no internet, but there's mesh because i can see
the nanostation using the webinterface of the second node that is a mr3020. any ideas
what's wrong with this?
a second question. is it possible to setup nodogsplash on lime and get it working ?
thanks !!

New subject: [lime-users] How to get nodes ip's
well i came to understand what's wrong
As I told you before, I prepared myself a lime image for nanostations 2 without webgui, as
everyone knows those device have poor hardware specs. I selected on the openwrt image
builder lime-altermesh, lime-proto-batadv, lime-system. I didnt select bmx
without a webgui because it's not an option for the nanos, i ask you, what's the
proper package selection to ensure a working node with lime?
thanks in advance !

I did it. Linus (main author of the multicast part it seems) wrote
that many things about multicast were fixed in batman-adv 2014.4.0 and
asked to try it.
I can't try it right now, can anyone test it?
