Change the root after stack installation in mesh.cc

[Amira Bezzina]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a way to change the root of the HWMP proactive mode in the scenario mesh.cc after this line:

meshDevices = mesh.Install (wifiPhy, nodes);

Can anyone help please?

Thank you in advance

Looks like if you can get to the MeshPointDevice then you can access its hwmp routing protocol and call SetRoot.  So you can search for the device with maybe the address you want or some other criteria then do:

// assume mpd is the Ptr<MeshPointDevice> selected from meshDevices
auto proto = mpd->GetRoutingProtocol ();
if (proto)
  {
    auto hwmp = proto->GetObject <dot11s::HwmpProtocol> ();
    if (hwmp) hwmp->SetRoot ();
  }

Good luck,

Jared.

You also might want to call hwmp->UnsetRoot() on all the other MeshPointDevice hwmp routing protocols.
