Figure 22. Subnet address structure
A node’s subnet is split up between its different client interfaces (eth0, wlan1-4). By default the
subnet is split as shown in Table 5. See sections 8.1.4 and 9.6.3 for instructions on how to
adjust how the subnet is segmented between interfaces.
Interface Interface address Broadcast address Client address range
wlan1 subnet.1 subnet.127 subnet.2-126
wlan2 subnet.129 subnet.159 subnet.130-158
wlan3 subnet.161 subnet.191 subnet.162-190
wlan4 subnet.193 subnet.223 subnet.194-222
eth0 subnet.225 subnet.255 subnet.226-254
subnet = <id.lanprefix>.<id.mesh>.<id.node>

6.6 DNS / Domain Settings
The DNS server(s) used by the node are specified with the ‘dns.servers’ parameter in the ‘sys’
interface. To specify multiple DNS servers, list them as a space-delimited string enclosed by
quotes as shown in the example below
> use sys
sys> set dns.servers =”10.5.0.5 192.168.5.5”
If a gateway node acquires DNS server information through DHCP, this DNS server
information will overwrite the ‘dns.servers’ setting. Note that the DNS server settings will not be
passed to repeater nodes that are in the same mesh cluster that the gateway is serving – you
will need to set this on each of the repeater nodes.
A primary and secondary DNS server can be set via the web interface using the “DNS” tab on
the “System Parameters” page.
