Set the
br-lan
Bridge IP Address
This step sets the unique IP address for the
br-lan
bridge interface which is used for making
telephone calls to the MP device, and may be used to access the MP device for maintenance.
The default setting for this IP address when the device is flashed is 10.130.1.20 and you should
change at least the last octet of the address in order to make the address unique on the mesh.
In a simple mesh arrangement, all MP devices on the mesh are assigned addresses in the same
address range (ie only the last octet of the address is changed) so telephone calls can be made to all
devices on the mesh with abbreviated dialling using just the last octet of the MP device's bridge IP
address.
If you are intending to connect the mesh to a LAN, you may choose to assign addresses from the
LAN address space to the MP devices so that they will appear as static IP devices on the LAN.
In this case, just set the Ipv4 address field to the required IP address. You will need to ensure that
the address that has been assigned will not be used by any other device on the LAN in order to
avoid IP conflicts.
From the LUCI web interface menu select
Network / Interfaces / LAN
Interface :
eth0 bat0 ath1
Set the required IP address for the device eg :
IPv4-Address:
10.130.1.22
Click on the
Save
button at the bottom right of the screen.
This will just save the change but not apply it until the
Save&Apply
button is selected. This allows
you to make other network configuration changes before the changes are committed and the device
restarts.
