Multiple 6lbr's in a neighborhood , isolate nodes between different 6lbr's
So it is typical if we have two customers , each customer having their own nodes and a border router or two . Can we isolate the nodes visible in the 6lbr between the two customers . Ex a customer A's nodes should not be visible in 6lbr web interface of customer B , and also customer B's 6lbr should not be able to ping6 the nodes of customer A's.
A typical use case can be two farms where we have two different 6lbr mesh networks are deployed. So questions
- Is this use case supported in 6lbr
- if it is , what are the config files we need to work on and what can we do to achieve this ?
- If it is not supported , what is involved in making this work - which files in the code we should be looking at etc ..
Essentially we need sort of a network id that is tied to the mesh network that the 6lbr interface will talk to .
Appreciate your response.
Anyone ??
The easiest is to use the PAN-ID to create two virtual network completely independent of each others. The PAN-ID can be modified in 6LBR interface or configuration files. On the other hand, the PAN-ID must be manually modified in the firmware of the nodes.
