Not Supporting Multiple Gateways

[aberam]

This firmware is exiting since it boots faster and meshes faster. But i have come across an issue with a test network that I put in two gateways. The network becomes unstable and internet comes and goes pretty often. When I took off one of the gateways it cleared up.

Which version are you using ? Did you notice that a new version was released yesterday which contains various fixes (also regarding gateway handling) ?

Where can I get the updated firmware? I downloaded one from open-mesh.com and updated my nodes and it still shows the version as fw-ng-r223 batman-devel and I still have the problem.

If you can give me a link with the latest build I'll appreciate it.

The current version is 235 and can be downloaded here:  http://dev.open-mesh.com/downloads/testing/firmware-ng/

Thank you. I upgraded to r235 version and the unstable issue is resolved but there is another issue. I have this network on two dsl's with different public ip's. Now the network is using either one dsl or the other, but not both. One of the gateways sends all of it's clients to the other dsl.

Was hoping to have users especially those on the gateways use the dsl directly connected and if there is a failure of any of the dsl, all the traffic would be sent to the surviving dsl. (That's how I have it working with Robin on a live network).

Could you explain a bit more how your network is configured (especially the LAN setup is of interest) ?

* You have 3 nodes, 2 of them are connected to a separate dsl line and also to the same LAN ?

* Do you have bridge mode enabled ?

* Looking at your network each gateway seems to have a different public IP - why do you think they use the same line ?

Cheers, Marek

Ok let me try.

DSL1 LAN 192.168.2.1 public ip 186.45.79.167 connected to conferenceroom3rdfl

DSL2 LAN 192.168.1.1 public ip 201.238.78.202 connected to dd3fl

The third node is a repeater on the network.

On the dashboard and also when I connect to any of the nodes on ssid and I whatismyip.com I get 201.238.78.202 even on the gateway conferenceroom which have a public ip of 186.45.79.167.

I also have prtg monitoring traffic on the dsl's and all the traffic is on the dd3fl dsl and the other is idle. I know there are users on the DSL1 but the traffic is being routed to DSL2.

I do have bridge mode enabled and the same duplicates there also.

I hope this helps.

Strange,

I disabled ssid2 and left for 30mins and now everything is working fine. I renabled ssid 2 and after 2hrs it's holding perfect. Will monitor.

[marek]

Thanks for your explanations.

I'd like to stress you LAN configuration a bit more: Are the routers directly connected to the DSL lines or did you connect them to a LAN which has 2 DSL lines? If so, how can you LAN work with 2 DSL lines ?

FYI: The bridge mode on SSID2 bridges the wifi into your LAN which means that your LAN is responsible for the load balancing because the routers just forward all the traffic.

[aberam]

They are directly connected to DSL modems.

Still up and running.

Guess you can close this ticket.

Ok, feel free to open a new ticket in case you encounter a problem.
