I was curious to know how everyone is using 44net ip assignments within the mesh.
I notice the node web UI's Network menu has a LAN option to use 44net subnet assignments. But testing that out yielded that only local devices on the same 44net subnet can access each other, leaving neighboring nodes, or non-local nodes not being able to access services/devices that have a 44net address, even with the "LAN to 44Net" option enabled. This was tested with the ac lite, ac2 and ac3, running 3.25.8.0 and 20250821-2240974b FW's. Even more strange is that the nodes were indeed advertising the 44net subnet. Both the Hna4 section and OLSRD plugin both showed the 44net information.
Devices using the default 10net/29 assignment are accessible from both neighbors and local devices. For now, I switched it back to the default 10net. Hopefully, it was something that I missed or did wrong, as I would expect to have seen another ticket about this. When I am back in town, I will play with it some more and maybe create some static IP routes to see if that fixes (unless a reboot unfixes, LOL).
We have a 44net BGP block, as well as few /28 blocks that I wanted to put to use as we deploy AREDN nodes. But I have not been able to find much in the documentation with the use of 44net. It's not mandatory that we use 44net subnets, just thought it would be nice/cool. But I really wanted to know how everyone else was using them.
Thanks for your help!
