Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] Batman-adv and routed subnets

Thanks for your answer Sven.

So, I've obviously misunderstood the part "mixing non-B.A.T.M.A.N. systems with batman-adv" [&]
I admit: the fact that batman-adv operates al L2 really confuses me a lot!
I'm a DIY nerd with no background training, so it's quite difficult to me.. But I won't give up! ;D

So, do you think that I should try to setup OSPF on every node, to keep the thing as-much-auto-scaling-as-possible?

But in that case I suspect I won't be able to use the "Gateway support" functions. Is it correct? [%]

Have a nice day,
Luca
