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)

Examples ​

WAN port ​

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

TIP

LibreMesh in the default flavor preserve the default openwrt WAN port.
This interface gets created by lime-hwd-openwrt-wan package in case an ethernet WAN port is detected.
Disable the default interface lm_hwd_openwrt_wan if you intend to configure a different port as wan.

Disable default ​

config net lm_hwd_openwrt_wan
    option autogenerated 'false'
  • autogenerated 'false' - Specify that the configuration of the WAN ethernet port has been manually edited.

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'
