MAC addresses
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Many devices don't have enough unique MAC addresses assigned by the vendor
|
|
(in batman-adv, each mesh interface needs an own MAC address that must be unique
|
|
mesh-wide).
|
|
|
|
Gluon tries to solve this issue by using a hash of the primary MAC address as a
|
|
45 bit MAC address prefix. The resulting 8 addresses are used as follows:
|
|
|
|
* 0: client0; WAN
|
|
* 1: mesh0
|
|
* 2: owe0
|
|
* 3: wan_radio0 (private WLAN); batman-adv primary address
|
|
* 4: client1; LAN
|
|
* 5: mesh1
|
|
* 6: owe1
|
|
* 7: wan_radio1 (private WLAN); mesh VPN
|
|
|
|
When you need another MAC address, e.g. for adding another Mesh-Interface,
|
|
pick an index from an unused feature on your device.
|
|
|
|
Example: if you don't have wireless meshing enabled on 5 GHz (mesh1),
|
|
you can go with index 5.
