.SH EXAMPLES
Let
.B $IPv6
be one of your node's IPv6 addresses, and suppose that
.B eth1
is a wireless interface. You can participate in a Babel mesh network
by simply running
.IP
# babel $IPv6 eth1
.PP
In order to gateway between multiple interfaces, just list them all on
the command line:
.IP
# babel $IPv6 eth1 eth0 sit1
.PP
If you wish to be reachable by all of your IPv6 addresses, just inject
them into the routing domain as zero-cost external routes:
.IP
# babel -X $otherIPv6 0 $IPv6 eth1
.PP
On an access point, you'll probably want to redistribute the default route:
.IP
# babel -x ::/0 256 $IPv6 eth1
.PP
