[OLSR-users] olsrd and default gateway

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Bernd,

not sure, I understand. Let me guess two scenarios:

a) You live in Bogoland and your single mesh connection is through a tunnel. 
That tunnel is *not* an inet connection but a (slow and expensive) leased 
line. You don't want to have inet traffic through that leased line heading 
to the gateways offered in the mesh. Add a static default route on the 
border device to nowhere. To be polite, you may also add a firewall rule, 
that answers to such traffic with "-j REJECT". This is not a clean solution, 
because in this scenario you need to block that HNA4 0.0.0.0/0 messages from 
the other side completely from flooding your side (and vice versa).

b) You live in Bogoland and your single mesh connection is through an inet 
tunnel. Why not offer that inet connection as gateway on your side? Add a 
HNA4 entry to the border device, this will pull those default routes on your 
side to the next available gw - that's your border device. Of course, you 
may also want the other side (the border device in the mesh) to offer it's 
inet connection in the same way.

LG Sven-Ola
