Todolist

• published what the network setup should be so people can behore hand setup their nodes:
• IP
• username / pass / ssh key
• a way to gather statistics (for example snmp, syslog) nico suggests wprobe (IP layer 2, wprobe tool) -- visualisation using cacti.net
• lot's of beer

Agenda

06/10: irc meeting h 21:00

preliminary schedule all activities take place at okno (http://okno.be/node/194)

• tuesday: 13th / 19h30: techtuesday at okno ? / welcome nico / checking out tmplab nodes / discuss network setup
• wednesday: 14th / 19h30 openwrt install party / setup config, management tools
• thursday: 15th / 19h30 : dev intro to kamikaze ?
• friday: 16th / 19h30 : telephony/sip reseaucitoyen setup (cedric)?-- hostilewrt dev-hacknight
• saturday: 17th / 10h : start battle-mesh / finish the install-on-site / start tests
  • saturdayevening: concert at okno
• sunday: 18th / 10h till 18h

Nodes you can bring

• HSB: 18 asus nodes
• Ninux.org : at least 2 Fonera
• tmplab +-60 nodes
• zoobab: 8 foneras
• <add yours>

We need to divide all the hardware in 3 groups so each protocol has the same hardware: make 3 piles, each consisting of equal hardware (so every pile==protocol gets a mix of hardware) (cfr. the tmplab setup)

• no, better install the 3 routing protocols at the same time on the machine, and launch them when needed. -- we'll try this out for the test setup... / at okno the nodes probably won't be connected over wired network, so this is very risky imho (ptr_)

Hardware/stuff needed

• power extension cables (the more the better)
• powerstrips (Job should have some?)
• label machine
• battery packs

Network setup

the one at wbm v1:

• Babel: 192.168.40.0/24
• Batman: 192.168.30.0/24
• OLSR: 192.168.20.0/24

the test setup at HSB:

1. openssh server giving access to wired LAN of the nodes , (ask for a login to pieter at L45.be)

  ssh xxx@wbm2009v2.dyndns.org -p 5042 

1. 5 nodes (asus WL-HMD), babel installed

Software

• routing protocols: as the dev are there (zoobab:confirm this), these will change

 the test setup will run on the versions in openwrt downloaded package repository

OpenWRT:

- what version do we install ?

Kamikaze 8.09.2 (should become the last released version, in development ftm), on a linux 2.6 kernel (babel, batman-adv dependency).

 https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/tags/8.09.2 (not avail yet)

for now: OpenWrt version: Kamikaze (r17574)

 svn co -r 17574  svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/
 http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09.2-RC2/

a way to manage the nodes:

• script to ssh to all the node?
• puppet for openwrt exists? hm no
• Did you consider http://mytestbed.net/ There are OpenWRT packages here http://svn.onelab.eu/omf-openwrt I've seen this stuff on the openwrt-dev mailing list september the 1st
