Network interface specific options

Configure an ethernet port

Create a section named port2 for the network device lan2
Do not put any . in the section name.

config net port2
  option linux_name 'eth0.2'
  ...

Available protocols: apbb, batadv, babeld, bgp, bmx7, client, lan, manual, olsr, olsr2, olsr6, static, wan

manual

If you use the protocol manual do not specify other protocols, may result in an unpredictable behavior/configuration (likely you loose connection to the node)

WAN port

Configure an network ethernet port as WAN using the protocol wan or static.

wan (DHCP)

Use wan protocol to get Internet connectivity via DHCP

config net port1_wan
  option linux_name 'lan1'
  list protocols 'wan'

static (ipv4)

Use static protocols and specify the router 'IPv4/subnet' and the gateway IPv4.

config net port1_wan
  option linux_name 'lan1'
  list protocols 'static'
  option static_ipv4 '192.168.1.2/24'
  option static_gateway_ipv4 '192.168.1.1'

static (ipv6)

Use static protocols and specify the router 'IPv6/subnet' and the gateway IPv6.

config net port1_wan
  option linux_name 'lan1'
  list protocols 'static'
  option static_ipv6 '2a00:1508:0a00::1234/64'
  option static_gateway_ipv6 'fe80::1'

LAN port

Configure lan1 for users to connect to, not for connection to other nodes.

config net port1
    option linux_name 'lan1'
    list protocols 'lan'

Mesh only port

The protocol batadv:%N1 needs to be specified if the other node is in the same mesh cloud i.e. same ap_ssid.

config net port1
    option linux_name 'lan1'
    list protocols 'batadv:%N1'
    list protocols 'babeld:17'
