Operating multiple plutoplus at the same time #23

Open JWK0323 opened 1 year ago

JWK0323 commented 1 year ago

Hi. I am trying to operate multiple pluto-plus at the same time. so, i changed the ip address and host name in config.txt file each pluto However, there are some issues like recognizing the pluto devices and also do not operate even while ping command is running.. (The method in the multiple pluto guide does not work)

is it possible to recognize multiple pluto plus devices and operate at the same time?

I have two Pluto+'s on my network without any problems, Their config files look as follows,

First Pluto+

What is important is,

hostname = pluto
ipaddr = 192.168.2.1
ipaddr_host = 192.168.2.10

vs

hostname = plutoplus
ipaddr = 192.168.3.1
ipaddr_host = 192.168.3.10

They must be on different sub nets.

ipaddr_eth = 192.168.1.39

and 

ipaddr_eth = 192.168.1.40

Not really needed if you are happy with dynamically assigned IP address given by your network DHCP server, In other words and in that caseipaddr_eth Could be left blank.

In case it matters, I am using this firmware on both Pluto+'s.
