Suggestions for network topology improvements needed

In Ventura County, our backbone is primarily made of Ubiquiti AirOS radios.  They link the AREDN nodes on 10 sites together via DtD (in a dedicated VLAN2).  The AirOS nodes look like a mesh network to the AREDN nodes with a path to each AirOS node, and all of them almost equal LQ/NLQ DtD links.
The issues with how the current implementation of OLSR handles route flapping lead to frequent periods where the mesh network is unusable due to routes failing back and forth between the various (virtual) paths on the backbone.

Connecting to MySQL DB on the mesh from outside the mesh

Maps
I have a Pi running MeshMap within the Mesh.
I also have MeshMap installed on my 192.168.1.x outside the Mesh. I am trying to connect from this copy of MeshMap to the MySQL database running on the Pi.
I have a Netgear GS105Ev2 between the 192.168.1.x network and the 10.64.x.x network. The switch is using VLAN. I have a tunnel server on one of my local nodes and it is functioning A-OK.
How do I get the port 3306 routed between 192.168.1.x and 10.64.x.x ????
Thanks,
Tom

Nodes co located at high RF sites

Hi all,

I am gathering info to appease/placate a very particular RF engineer who also happens to be a gateway to multiple great sites for backhaul or longer-range urban fringe mesh sites.

What nodes do you have deployed in high RF sites, such as co-located with repeaters and or commercial installations? 

Do you have any details on your install? ie external antenna? or all in one?

Cheers

Sight Analysis

Good afternoon AREDN Team,

I just got word that we may be granted access to our first mountain top tower sight. If that is true I want to make sure our team really hits the mark on this one. I would like to consult with someone and have them review the facts and help layout a solid hardware package based on lessons learned. The last thing I want to do on this one is go make a bunch of rookie mistakes.

Link.ui.com compared to real results?

I now have my first 2 perm mesh nodes setup in Maine (3rd one on the way). One at my house and one that I just installed on Oak Hill in Brunswick Maine at the top of a 250 foot tower. The signal strength is not even close to what link.ui.com shows. here is a shared url for the full details  ​https://link.ui.com/#p=4b9c07a2225f43d5a259ca2ef3fb49ed

Looking at this path link.ui.com shows that I should be at -70dBm for signal strength at both locations. Here is what I am currently seeing:

Monitoring Options

Normally I would just use SNMP to monitor. I did setup Cacti and running on a Raspberry PI and polling a few nodes. Right away I can see that only interface stats and basic memory/CPU data is available. What I really want to do is monitor SNR (signal levels) Looks like this is not something thats available via SNMP? I also read that SNMP is not apart of the standard build and every time you upgrade you will need to reinstall SNMP. If SNMP is not a good fit to monitor the mesh what are others doing to monitor/alert?

Thanks Bill NG1P
 

First Attempt at a Go-Kit

GoKits

I wanted to share my first attempt at a “Go-Kit” for Aredn Mesh equipment.  This is very much a work in progress, but I thought sharing it here in it’s current form might solicit a little advice, and maybe give some ideas to other newbies like myself that are just getting started with Aredn.

Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-5AC Gen 2

      Hi,
I'm very new to all of this. Have done some reading and wanted to get the ball rolling. I was wondering if the Ubiquiti PowerBeam PBE-5AC Gen2 would be suitable to deploy a AREDN Mesh network with for use on Field Day. I live about 5 miles from my Club's site and could provide internet access via my home's cable modem network for the computers doing the logging.  

My Stanley Go-Box - Version 2.0

GoKits

With time to kill with CoVid-Stay-at-Home, I decided to rebuild my Stanley Go-Box.  I had a couple of objectives for this iteration:

(1) Incorporate a dedicated laptop computer
(2) Incorporate a dedicated Raspberry Pi
(3) Incorporate a managed network switch
(4) Improve flexibility by incorporating a patch panel
(5) Incorporate a MikroTik hAP router/radio and a Grandstream VOIP phone.
(6) Configure the Bo-Box as a desktop workstation - plop it on the table, open the lid, connect the cables, and get to work.

Another Go-Kit Example(s)

I posted this as a reply on another thread, but I'll list it separately also.

I have basic GoKit in a 22" Toolbox I purchased at Walmart.  This is my 3rd time (Ver 3.0) doing this and previously used a 20" box that just needed a bit more room.
