mac adress

[Vusumzi Ndzengu]

Hi All

I have strange scenario the mac addresses of the same devices appear differently on secn web page and under bat-hosts.

bat-hosts file

68:72:51:04:78:03 10.130.1.10 (gateway)

68:72:51:04:78:19 10.130.1.11

24:a4:3c:f8:81:c2 10.130.1.12

24:a4:3c:f8:81:bf 10.130.1.13

24:a4:3c:f8:81:28 10.130.1.14

24:a4:3c:f8:81:5c 10.130.1.15

24:a4:3c:f8:83:9c 10.130.1.16

here in the screen shot the ma the mac addresses start with 26 instead of 24 and 6a instead of 68

[T Gillett]

What does the ifconfig command show?

The SECN Status page is just displaying the output of the
    batctl o
command.

So 'batctl o' and 'ifconfig' show the same MAC addresses.

Hi Vusi,

Try changing the 24 prefix to 26 on the MAC addresses beginning with 24 in the /etc/bat-hosts file.

Hi

thanks for the help maybe so now i can have spud working ?

[T Gillett]

So it seems that bathosts file is being generated incorrectly.

[Vusumzi Ndzengu]

Hi 

tlg how can i fix that ?

[T Gillett]

I am not familiar with with the software that generates the bathosts file.

Hopefully Steve or someone else who is familiar with it can suggest something.

Meanwhile if you edit the bathosts file to make it correct, does everything work OK?

That will give you a work around at least.

[Song, Stephen]

For spud, the /etc/bat-hosts file has to be manually populated with MAC and equivalent IP addresses.    Vusi must have accidentally copied the wrong MAC addresses into the file.  

Regards... Steve

Hi

Steve those are mac addreses  thta were on the devices. is there any anyway to fix that?

[T Gillett]

I have done some general Googling on 'bat-hosts mac address'  and also searched the open-mesh.org wiki pages but haven't found a definitive answer, surprisingly.

However...

What is happening is that ifconfig reports the MAC address as per the label on the device, whereas batman-adv reports a MAC address that has been changed by adding 02 to the first octet.

Presumably batman-adv uses a different MAC address so that it can distinguish its interfaces from the hardware interfaces.

So the bottom line is that the bat-hosts file has to be built using the same MAC address as shown in batctl and not those on the label.

The difference appears to be simply the addition of 02 to the first octet, but it would pay to check.

I have not had the opportunity to evaluate the MP to date and did not look at your attached screen capture...

Vusumzi you need to remember a device with 3 network interfaces (IE Wi-Fi, wired and GSM)

Will have 3 different MAC addresses one each for Wi-Fi, wired and GSM respectively

Is that not perhaps why you see more than one MAC address on your MP?
