Dear Waldek, Markus, dear all,
I've just added the "-R" option to babeld, which allows specifying the
router-id explicitly. From the manual page:
-R router-id
Specify the router-id explicitly, as a modified EUI-64 or a
MAC-48 address. If two nodes have the same router-id, bad
things will happen. Don't use this option unless you know what
you are doing.
There's no equivalent config file option, since I'm a little worried about
config files being copied between nodes.
The router-id should have the syntax of a (modified) EUI-64
babeld -R 11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88
or that of a MAC-48 address:
babeld -R 11:22:33:44:55:66
in which case FF:FE will be inseerted in the middle, as usual.
By the way -- the current tree is what I'm planning to release as 1.6.2
after it got some testing, so please complain soon if you see any issues.
-- Juliusz
