Topic: OLSRD - not updating nodes 2 hops away!

The content of this topic has been archived on 16 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have OpenWRT Kamakaze 8.09 & OLSRD 0.5.6-r4, I am using the OLSRD daemon only.
I have Debian4 machines connected to the OpenWRT machine and are running OLSRD.
OLSRD routes do NOT update across 2 hops. And the updates are not complete.
If I connect the Debian4 machines together, OLSRD works great. I get all the updates.
What is wrong? What is missing in OpenWRT? The config is the same as the Debian 4 boxes.
I have 10 machines total, ony 2 show up!

Are your Debian machines running the same version of olsrd? I think, there were problems of that kind, when you were using different versions of olsrd in the same network.

The Debian machines run the same versions of OLSRD - 0.5.6-r7.
The OpenWRT is not 0.5.6-r7, it runs 0.5.6-r4.

Thanks,
Dave

Your debian machines probably run olsrd 0.5.6-rc7 (release candidate!), which is much older (July 2008) than the lastest stable r4 (March 2009).
I would recommed downloading and compiling r4 on the debian machines.

http://www.olsr.org/releases/0.5/olsrd-0.5.6-r4.tar.gz

Extract and run "make build_all; sudo make install_all"

Save your current olsrd.conf first, as it may get overwritten  ;-)

I'm running r4 on ubuntu and openwrt without such problems (within the funkfeuer.at mesh network in Vienna).
