Questions
- Is the XO connected to local-link or a mesh?
- Is it connected to an MPP?
- Is it connected to the internet?
- Is it connected to a jabber server?
- What is the ip?
Layer 2
The wireless configuration of the network can be examined using the iwconfig eth0 command. We get MAC layer information such as
- ESSID
- olpc-mesh : Indicates a mesh with or without internet connectivity
- Mode
- Managed : It is an Access Point(AP) configuration
- Ad-hoc : It is a mesh configuration(no infrastracture)
- Frequency
- 2.412 : Channel 1
- 2.437 : Channel 6
- 2.462 : Channel 11
- Media lab AP operates on Channels 6 and 11
- Cell/AP Mac
- Access Point : The AP's MAC
- Cell : A virtual 02:xx:xx:... MAC address assigned by the some mesh points. It indicateS mesh configuration
Layer 3
IP addresses
The network layer information can be observed with ifconfig. The eth0 part gives an IPv4 address only if the XO is connected directly to an AP. The address can also indicate a private network. Media lab gives an 18.85.x.x address. The msh0 gives
- when connected to an AP
- 169.254.x.x
- when connected to a school server
- 172.x.x.x(the current school server in the lab)
- 10.x.x.x
- 192.168.x.x
- when connected in local link
- 169.254.x.x
