Setting up an IPv4 network for use with Babel
*********************************************
1. Choose an IPv4 address for every node
========================================
Unless you already have a numbering plan in place, you will probably
want to choose adresses in 192.168.0.0/16:
IPv4=192.168.19.68
Of course, the IPv4 address for each node must be unique in your network.
2. Set up the interfaces
=========================
$ iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc channel 11
$ iwconfig eth essid "my-wireless-network"
You will need to manually number all of the interfaces that
participate in IPv4 routing -- unlike IPv6, IPv4 routing doesn't
support unnumbered interfaces.
# ip link set eth1 up
# ip addr add $IPv4 dev eth1
You don't need to set a netmask -- the default netmask of /32
(255.255.255.255) is fine for use with Babel. Also note that you may
set the same IPv4 address on all interfaces of a given node.
2. Start the routing daemon
===========================
# babel -4 -X $IPv4 0 $IPv4 eth1
On a network gateway, you will want to redistribute the default route:
# babel -4 -X $IPv4 0 -X 0.0.0.0/0 128 $IPv4 eth0 eth1
Note that ``-x'' doesn't work for IPv4 yet; use ``-X'' instead.
Setting up a dual-stack network for use with Babel
**************************************************
Babel is designed to efficiently route both IPv6 and IPv4 at the same
time; a single route update may contain both IPv6 and IPv4 routes.
On an ordinary node, you will run Babel as
# babel -4 -X $IPv6 0 -X $IPv4 0 $IPv6 eth1
on an IPv6 gateway,
# babel -4 -X $IPv6 0 -X $IPv4 0 -x ::/0 128 $IPv6 eth1
on an IPv4 gateway,
# babel -4 -X $IPv6 0 -X $IPv4 0 -X 0.0.0.0/0 128 $IPv6 eth1
and on a gateway to both the IPv6 and IPv4 Internets,
# babel -4 -X $IPv6 0 -X $IPv4 0 -x ::/0 128 -X 0.0.0.0/0 128 $IPv6 eth1
If you use ahcpd, you will want to add the following to
/etc/ahcp/ahcp-babel-options:
-4 -X 192.168.19.68 0
