[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv coexisting with olsr?

[Ryan Hughes]

Hi.  Is it possible to get batman-adv to coexist with olsr, working with 
different network prefixes?

Cuz it seems to me that the olsr traffic would all get routed by batman, 
and every node would think it could see every other node, and olsr would 
add all kinds of nonsense to the routing table.

Thanks.

Are you running olsr on bat0? You should run olsr on the phy device
(i.e. eth0, the same you added with batctl for batman-adv)

batman-adv provides a virtual layer 2 switch which can be used through a 
virtual interface and olsr provides an ip routing table. So you can just start 
olsr using an interface which is _not_ the virtual batman-adv (aka bat0) 
interface.

This was explained a year ago during the Wireless Community Weekend 2010 [1]. 
Maybe you can find somewhere an example firmware which was made after that 
discussion.

Kind regards,

Hi Ryan

This is also how the WBM4 was setup, with OLSR, BMX6, Bable all
running in parallel with different subnet ranges.

The configuration files for OpenWRT are around somewhere. Try
searching the WBM site.

Aha.  I didn't find the scripts that were used in WBMv4, but I found the 
one from WBMv3.

Thanks, I'll check this out.
