[Olsr-users] [Babel-users] Mesh Network

[Sahana k.srinivas]

Hi,

I have setup HNA on olsrd as below
HNA4
{ 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
}
DHCP is enabled on the router for AP interface.
So
I cannot ping different mesh routers
I can ping between mesh router and its local client
I cannot ping AP client from different mesh router
I cannot ping two AP clients from different mesh router


Regards,
Sahana
