The network configuration is stored in \texttt{/etc/config/network} and is divided into interface configurations. Each interface configuration either refers directly to an ethernet/wifi interface (\texttt{eth0}, \texttt{wl0}, ..) or to a bridge containing multiple interfaces. It looks like this: \begin{Verbatim} config interface "lan" option ifname "eth0" option proto "static" option ipaddr "192.168.1.1" option netmask "255.255.255.0" option gateway "192.168.1.254" option dns "192.168.1.254" \end{Verbatim} \texttt{ifname} specifies the Linux interface name. If you want to use bridging on one or more interfaces, set \texttt{ifname} to a list of interfaces and add: \begin{Verbatim} option type "bridge" \end{Verbatim} It is possible to use VLAN tagging on an interface simply by adding the VLAN IDs to it, e.g. \texttt{eth0.15}. These can be nested as well. See the switch section for this. \begin{Verbatim} config interface option ifname "eth0.15" option proto "none" \end{Verbatim} This sets up a simple static configuration for \texttt{eth0}. \texttt{proto} specifies the protocol used for the interface. The default image usually provides \texttt{'none'} \texttt{'static'}, \texttt{'dhcp'} and \texttt{'pppoe'}. Others can be added by installing additional packages. When using the \texttt{'static'} method like in the example, the options \texttt{ipaddr} and \texttt{netmask} are mandatory, while \texttt{gateway} and \texttt{dns} are optional. You can specify more than one DNS server, separated with spaces: \begin{Verbatim} config interface "lan" option ifname "eth0" option proto "static" ... option dns "192.168.1.254 192.168.1.253" (optional) \end{Verbatim} DHCP currently only accepts \texttt{ipaddr} (IP address to request from the server) and \texttt{hostname} (client hostname identify as) - both are optional. \begin{Verbatim} config interface "lan" option ifname "eth0" option proto "dhcp" option ipaddr "192.168.1.1" (optional) option hostname "openwrt" (optional) \end{Verbatim} PPP based protocols (\texttt{pppoe}, \texttt{pptp}, ...) accept these options: \begin{itemize} \item{username} \\ The PPP username (usually with PAP authentication) \item{password} \\ The PPP password \item{keepalive} \\ Ping the PPP server (using LCP). The value of this option specifies the maximum number of failed pings before reconnecting. The ping interval defaults to 5, but can be changed by appending "," to the keepalive value \item{demand} \\ Use Dial on Demand (value specifies the maximum idle time. \item{server: (pptp)} \\ The remote pptp server IP \end{itemize} For all protocol types, you can also specify the MTU by using the \texttt{mtu} option. A sample PPPoE config would look like this: \begin{Verbatim} config interface "lan" option ifname "eth0" option proto "pppoe" option username "username" option password "openwrt" option mtu "1492" (optional) \end{Verbatim} \subsubsection{Setting up static routes} You can set up static routes for a specific interface that will be brought up after the interface is configured. Simply add a config section like this: \begin{Verbatim} config route foo option interface "lan" option target "1.1.1.0" option netmask "255.255.255.0" option gateway "192.168.1.1" \end{Verbatim} The name for the route section is optional, the \texttt{interface}, \texttt{target} and \texttt{gateway} options are mandatory. Leaving out the \texttt{netmask} option will turn the route into a host route. \subsubsection{Setting up the switch (broadcom only)} The switch configuration is set by adding a \texttt{'switch'} config section. Example: \begin{Verbatim} config switch "eth0" option vlan0 "1 2 3 4 5*" option vlan1 "0 5" \end{Verbatim} On Broadcom hardware the section name needs to be eth0, as the switch driver does not detect the switch on any other physical device. Every vlan option needs to have the name vlan where is the VLAN number as used in the switch driver. As value it takes a list of ports with these optional suffixes: \begin{itemize} \item{\texttt{'*'}:} Set the default VLAN (PVID) of the Port to the current VLAN \item{\texttt{'u'}:} Force the port to be untagged \item{\texttt{'t'}:} Force the port to be tagged \end{itemize} The CPU port defaults to tagged, all other ports to untagged. On Broadcom hardware the CPU port is always 5. The other ports may vary with different hardware. For instance, if you wish to have 3 vlans, like one 3-port switch, 1 port in a DMZ, and another one as your WAN interface, use the following configuration : \begin{Verbatim} config switch "eth0" option vlan0 "1 2 3 5*" option vlan1 "0 5" option vlan2 "4 5" \end{Verbatim} Three interfaces will be automatically created using this switch layout : \texttt{eth0.0} (vlan0), \texttt{eth0.1} (vlan1) and \texttt{eth0.2} (vlan2). You can then assign those interfaces to a custom network configuration name like \texttt{lan}, \texttt{wan} or \texttt{dmz} for instance. \subsubsection{Setting up the switch (swconfig)} \emph{swconfig} based configurations have a different structure with one extra section per vlan. The example below shows a typical configuration: \begin{Verbatim} config 'switch' 'eth0' option 'reset' '1' option 'enable_vlan' '1' config 'switch_vlan' 'eth0_1' option 'device' 'eth0' option 'vlan' '1' option 'ports' '0 1 2 3 5t' config 'switch_vlan' 'eth0_2' option 'device' 'eth0' option 'vlan' '2' option 'ports' '4 5t' \end{Verbatim} \subsubsection{Setting up IPv6 connectivity} OpenWrt supports IPv6 connectivity using PPP, Tunnel brokers or static assignment. If you use PPP, IPv6 will be setup using IP6CP and there is nothing to configure. To setup an IPv6 tunnel to a tunnel broker, you can install the \texttt{6scripts} package and edit the \texttt{/etc/config/6tunnel} file and change the settings accordingly : \begin{Verbatim} config 6tunnel option tnlifname 'sixbone' option remoteip4 '1.0.0.1' option localip4 '1.0.0.2' option localip6 '2001::DEAD::BEEF::1' \end{Verbatim} \begin{itemize} \item{\texttt{'tnlifname'}:} Set the interface name of the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel \item{\texttt{'remoteip4'}:} IP address of the remote end to establish the 6in4 tunnel. This address is given by the tunnel broker \item{\texttt{'localip4'}:} IP address of your router to establish the 6in4 tunnel. It will usually match your WAN IP address. \item{\texttt{'localip6'}:} IPv6 address to setup on your tunnel side This address is given by the tunnel broker \end{itemize} Using the same package you can also setup an IPv6 bridged connection: \begin{Verbatim} config 6bridge option bridge 'br6' \end{Verbatim} By default the script bridges the WAN interface with the LAN interface and uses ebtables to filter anything that is not IPv6 on the bridge. This configuration is particularly useful if your router is not IPv6 ND proxy capable (see: http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=4389). IPv6 static addressing is also supported using a similar setup as IPv4 but with the \texttt{ip6} prefixing (when applicable). \begin{Verbatim} config interface "lan" option ifname "eth0" option proto "static" option ip6addr "fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64" option ip6gw "2001::DEAF:BEE:1" \end{Verbatim} d='n158' href='#n158'>158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 345 346 347 348 349 350 351 352 353 354 355 356 357 358 359 360 361 362 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516 517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535 536 537 538 539 540 541 542 543 544 545 546 547 548 549 550 551 552 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569 570 571 572 573 574 575 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 584 585 586 587 588 589 590 591 592 593 594 595 596 597 598 599 600 601 602 603 604 605 606 607 608 609 610 611 612 613 614 615 616 617 618 619 620 621 622 623 624 625 626 627 628 629 630 631 632 633 634 635 636 637 638 639 640 641 642 643 644 645 646 647 648 649 650 651 652 653 654 655 656 657 658 659 660 661 662 663 664 665 666 667 668 669 670 671 672 673 674
