[B.A.T.M.A.N.] basic B.A.T.M.A.N-adv setup

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 928 bytes --]

Hi all,
i'm starting a B.A.T.M.A.N. mesh testbed, i've read some messages to find
some answers but no luck.
I'll try to explain what I've done and the errors i get..hope i get some
help in here.

From the beginning, I am using batman-adv 3.2 compiled along with batctl.
Only one wireless interface (wlan0) on each linux box (5 boxes by now)
Here are commands I fire on each node:

$ insmod batman-adv.ko
$ iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid BATMAN_NET
$ echo wlan0 > /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces
$ ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.xxx up
$ ifconfig bat0 up

I get a new bat0 interface, iwconfig shows nodes properly part of the ad-hoc
network.
I see correct $batctl o  output but i cannot $batctl ping $mac_address

There are no bridges between interfaces. I just want to run batman-adv  on
wlan0.
Do I need to set an IP address for wlan0, for bat0 or for both?
Or I have to bridge bat0 and wlan0 together?

There is nothing like batman-adv 3.2. Where did you got it from?

You must give bat0 also an ip to use IPv4(/6) over it... in most cases only 
bat0 as it is just the hardware interface the bat0 interface is using.
If you only want to test raw ethernet data over bat0 this should work.

Can you please give the originator table and send some small dumps (tcpdump -
w, batctl td) of both nodes when you try to send a batctl ping?
What mac address did you use?

Meant that wlan0 is just the hardware interface bat0 is using.

No, you should not bridge them together.

Ok now i have assigned ip addresses only to bat0 interface, i do ping nodes
with ping command.
here are some output:

$batctl o

It shows 4 of 5 nodes I have online at this very moment.

Say i fire ping from the box missing:

root@francesco-desktop:/home/francesco# ping 192.168.1.2

Everything ok. But if I try to batctl ping a node that I can see with
$batctl o:

root@francesco-desktop:/home/francesco# batctl ping 00:0b:6b:2f:53:03

There is no 0.3.2 release. batman-adv hasn't reached 0.2 yet. See 
http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/releases/ for the current releases of 
batman and batman-adv. The current version of batman-adv in development is 
<0.2-beta (it is not known yet if there will be real a beta or if the next 
release is simply 0.2). So the current snapshot of batman-adv would be 
"B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced 0.2-beta r1453 (compatibility version 8)"

If you say that normal ping over bat0 works I would guess that you are using a 
wrong combination of batctl and kernel module. Please use bleeding edge svn 
batctl only with bleeding edge svn batman-adv-kernelland module.

Just to highlight it:

batctl isn't compatible with batman-adv 0.1. It was called battool when 
batman-adv-kernelland 0.1 was released.

Hi Sven,now I see what was wrong, I'm really feeling so stupid.. :)
It was misleading that I reached the batman-adv download page (
http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/stable/sources/batman-adv-kernelland/ )
browsing batman 0.3.2 download page (
http://www.open-mesh.org/wiki/2009-06-13-batman-0-3-2-release ) and I got
confused.

Thanks for your kind reply.

I didn't read enough about batctl and its use against most recent batman-adv
version.
My fault.

As soon as i get back to the lab I'll try latetest version of both
batman-adv and batctl and see what comes out.

No reason to feel stupid. You aren't the first person which got confused by
the different implementations of the B.A.T.M.A.N. algorithm.

There is currently nothing like a stable branch. So if you want to have 0.1
with some backported stabilization patches you should look at the Debian
package of batman-adv-kernelland[1] and batman-adv-battool[2]. The source
packages of both packages include the separated patches[3].

But if you are currently in lab testing I would recommend to use both from svn
as batctl has some nice new features and changes in batman-adv-kernelland are
also looking quite interesting.

This unfortunately, does not work. The batctl sources has symbolic
links into the batman directory for the files hash.c, list-batman.c,
hash.h list-batman.h. 

Check out the complete trunk and then you will have everything you
need.

Hi Andrew,
it (obviously) worked, i got the trunk, make and make install batctl after
batman-adv.

Weird that:
$batctl o
BATMAN disabled - primary interface not active

I just run this script:

insmod /home/francesco/trunk/batman-adv-kernelland/batman-adv.ko
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid BATMAN_NET
echo wlan0 > /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig bat0 192.168.1.1 up

What is wrong?

I did the same in two mesh nodes with the same result..

I think that you found a bug in batman-adv. Please add the wlan0 interface to 
/proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces when wlan0 is up.

Ok, problem is that the interface starts as IF_INACTIVE, then switches to 
IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED when you activate it with ifconfig, but never reaches 
IF_ACTIVE.
It should get the IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED status in hardif_activate_interface and 
the IF_ACTIVE in schedule_own_packet. I would guess that this function is 
never called in that situation.

Following called-by tree:
- schedule_own_packet
  - send_outstanding_bat_packet
    - new_aggregated_packet (indirect over worker queue)
      - add_bat_packet_to_list
        - schedule_own_packet (who sees the loop here?)
        - schedule_forward_packet
  - hardif_add_interface

I would guess that either schedule_own_packet must be moved to 
hardif_activate_interface or the worker queue must be started otherwise when 
hardif_activate_interface is called in hard_if_event. I would leave the that 
to Marek as he knows what side effects are problematic in that situation

Best regards,
	Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] Start to send originator messages when interface gets active

[Sven Eckelmann]

The module gets in a inactive state when all interfaces are down. This
stops the sending of new packets. When a interface gets activated again
it must reactivate the module and then start the sending of new
originator messages.

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [batman-adv] Start to send originator messages when interface gets active

[Marek Lindner]

Please try this revised patch - it should avoid a race condition in which 
we may end up with 2 schedule_own_packet() running at the same time.

The module gets in a inactive state when all interfaces are down. This
stops the sending of new packets. When a interface gets activated again
it must reactivate the module and then start the sending of new
originator messages.

Hi all,

Add the wlan0 interface to /proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces when wlan0 is up
actually seems to solve the problem.

Thanks.

Hi,

batman-adv 3.2 ? I guess you mean 0.2 ?

The wlan0 device does not need an IP address. It needs to be up & running but 
the IP goes on the bat0 device.

Would you mind showing us the batctl o output and the batctl ping call plus 
error message(s) ?

No, don't bridge bat0 and wlan0. Imagine you had another wifi interface in 
managed mode for non-batman nodes to connect to (e.g. wlan1). Then you would 
want to make the mesh accessible for the managed clients by bridging bat0 with 
wlan1.
