Hi

I'm new to OpenWISP and found it very useful. I'm building a test environment with few OpenWRT wireless Access points (BT Hub 5 Type A) and OpenWISP2

I have successfully deployed the OWISP2 on a Raspberry Pi using the Ansible module and have the OWISP2 up and working.

I managed to installed the openwisp-config-openssl_0.4.6a-1_all.ipk on the OpenWRT device , did the configuration on the ini file to point to the OWISP2 server with correct Shared Key, SSL verify set to NO .

The AP successfully registered to OWISP and I was able to create some basic templates for assigning the DNS.

My aim is to create a template to manage the WiFi SSID , password.

my OpenWRT devices already have (existing) :

Radios:

radio0 (5ghz)

radio1 (2ghz)

Interfaces :

wlan0 : Default SSID for 5ghz radio0

wlan1 : Default SSID for 2ghz radio0

br-lan (LAN) : which is a bridge for all RJ45 ports and the wlan0 and wlan1 interfaces and has a static IP address for management

WAN : Not Used

ADSL: Not used

I tried to create a Wireless Interface in OWISP2 template, tried calling it "wlan5" and assigned it to the network "LAN(br-lan)" but after the openwrt downloads and applies the configuration it loses its IP address and I think it somehow destrys the existing br-lan.

in this situation, I can only revert to factory setting by pressing the reset button on the device.

may I please seek help to understand what is the best way to create and manage SSIDs (wireless interfaces) with OWISP and such existing configuration on OpenWRT?

Thanks

Reza

Hello Reza,

I have not used OpenWISP with a real OpenWRT device only with a Virtual device. But have you tried entering the value of the IP address in the IP address field? I think that might be the problem. The default is from a DHCP server. If you don't have a DHCP server, then sending the default value will result to an empty IP address.

Hi Noumbissi

Thanks for your reply.

actually I managed to figure out. I was setting the network field in interface section, however I just found there is a section called "Attached networks" , I added the new Wireless to "lan" attached network and everything worked very well now.

Just going to get more access points to be managed by owisp2.

Best Regards

Reza
