I am trying to set up an Internet connection on one of the 2 nodes I have under test without success.
I have a PTP network running 3.16.1.1 on both nodes. One of the 2 nodes has the following mesh gateway configuration:
- mesh gateway is enabled
- WAN config:
- static IP
- 192.168.1.4
- 255.255.255.0
- gateway 192.168.1.1
- DNS 1 & 2 the defaults
The WAN address shows up on the status page and the default gateway is shown as 192.168.1.1 The node with the gateway is connected to a Netgear GS105Ev2 configured exactly as shown in the "how to" on setting up VLANs. The VLAN10 ports clearly work as the laptop has a DHCP address from the node and can reach the other mesh node over WiFi also. However, I have no Internet connectivity. When I ping 192.168.1.4 from a laptop on the node's LAN, it works, but any address beyond 192.168.1.4 gets an immediate ICMP not reachable message back. This includes 192.168.1.1. If I try a traceroute to an Internet address from a laptop on the node without the gateway, it is rejected immediately by the node it is connected to. This implies to me that the mesh gateway node is not being advertised on the mesh (perhaps because the Internet is unreachable?) becuse it never tries to forward it to the other mesh node. Am I correct that the mesh gateway is being handled entirely separate from the OLSR routes? There is no advertised route there (again, maybe becuase it is not reachable?). The Netgear utility shows that port 5 is sending and receiving packets, and it shows as "up" on the status page. I am going to work on mirroring port 5 to 4 as another VLAN 1 port to see what is happening on the VLAN, but this is my first time trying to diagnose a VLAN issue (assuming it is one) so this is a shot in the dark. Not sure where to go next. Any suggestions on what is wrong, where I should look, or how to get more info to diagnose this? Thanks. 73, Rob

The switch has IP 192.168.1.4 and the mesh node has IP 192.168.1.4 ip address which is in conflict.
Being the switch is in between the mesh node and the router(192.168.1.1) I would expect the switch to get the packets first and discard them.
Have you reset the switch and node (WAN) back to DHCP to simplify the scenario?
Laptop - port 3
WAN - port 5
As noted in my previous post, setting the WAN port to DHCP on the node results in no connection at all, which seems to be telling. I have not tried running the GS105 in DHCP mode but I will try that and report back if that changes anything. BTW, I did do a factory reset and re-config yesterday on the GS105 with no improvement. Only other thing I can think of is that there is something wrong with the GS105. I will try a different VLAN config just to ensure it passes traffic. Rob
On XW NanoStation's the LAN is on port 1 (and only the lan is on port 1) while the WAN and DTDLink are on Port 2 of the NanoStation
