Need Support for Two Different Networks in the Mesh #1058

Open DaviReisVieira opened 9 months ago

DaviReisVieira commented 9 months ago

Description: I am currently working with Libre-Mesh and I have a requirement to set up two different networks within the mesh. This is important for my project because I need to isolate certain devices and services from each other while still using the same physical mesh infrastructure.

Expected Behavior: I would like to see support or guidance on how to configure and manage two distinct networks within the Libre-Mesh framework. It would be great if there could be clear documentation or examples to help achieve this.

Additional Information:

Please let me know if you need any further information or clarification. Thank you for your support!

Thanks for the question @DaviReisVieira, it is certainly a very useful network setup, but I never tried to achieve it.

Maybe someone else? @spiccinini @G10h4ck @nicoechaniz @digitigrafo @a-gave @altergui @dangowrt @javierbrk @pony1k @aparcar

In the meanwhile, you can set up a VPN between the clients of one half of the network, the most sensitive one. Without doing any special configuration on the mesh nodes, setting up the VPN only on the clients to be kept isolated.

Hi, I am not an expert, but I've been doing a review of the BATMAN protocol and found this article.

https://cgomesu.com/blog/Mesh-networking-openwrt-batman/#mesh-vlans

It has a specific section about vlans. The article is very didactic and clear. Hopefully you will find it useful.

Best regards Javier
