Hi –

I am having a problem getting alfred retrieve info from other nodes.  I am
running openwrt and alfred 2018.0.

I am able to start the alfred server with no errors both from boot and the
command line. 

root@OpenWrt:~# /etc/init.d/alfred restart
/etc/init.d/alfred: waiting 30 secs for br-lan address...
/etc/init.d/alfred: starting alfred
/etc/init.d/alfred: starting batadv-vis

I can see it with ps

4290 root       816 S    /usr/sbin/alfred -i br-lan -m -b bat0

I can issue a set and then a receive and I see the value I set but only
locally.  It does not get any info from the other nodes in my network.  They
are all running alfred servers as master.

I have added a firewall rule to open the port.

If I have 2 nodes running alfred and I run ‘tcpdump -i br-lan udp port
16962’ - I see packets from the other node:

16:21:49.279086 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:
UDP, length 4
16:21:51.907852 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe2e:f1bd.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:

16:21:59.282603 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:

16:22:01.907227 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe2e:f1bd.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:

16:22:09.285498 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:

16:22:11.919876 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe2e:f1bd.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:
UDP, length 4
16:22:19.288912 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:
UDP, length 4
16:22:21.916609 IP6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe2e:f1bd.16962 > ip6-allnodes.16962:
UDP, length 4

I think these might be the master announcements but when I issue an alfred
-r # - I do not see any new messages in the tcpdump.

Output of ‘netstat -tunpl’ shows alfred

4290/alfred
udp        0      0 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7:16962
:::*                                4290/alfred

This is the output of ‘ip a s br-lan’

12: br-lan: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state
UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:d0:12:00:f0:c7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.91/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global br-lan
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fd5b:763:2819::1/64 scope global noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::2d0:12ff:fe00:f0c7/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

I’ve rebuilt alfred, tried different versions from the repo, nothing works. 
I really would appreciate any help.
Beth
