[Bhat, Ishwara]

Thanks a lot Alex & Henning.


I will check how to retransmit packets through the same wlan interface. 

Thanks
Ishwar

it just tells all other node about you having that range. nothing more,
the local setup is up to your operating system.

so if you want to retransmitt traffic for that prefix, you need to
configure an interface on you node with that prefix.

if you want to retransmit it on you wireless mesh interface, the
mentioned interface would be an alias interface on you mesh interface.

this config is NOT done by olsrd, it has to be done by some other
entity, probably a script.

reading the documentation would help.
