Default gateway needs to be manually configured

[Gillmore, Matthew via Devel]

All,

I have a five node mesh setup with static IP addresses that are able to ping each other successfully. I configured one of these nodes as a GATE by using:

iw itron set mesh_param mesh_hwmp_rootmode=4
iw itron set mesh_param mesh_gate_announcements=1

However for a node on the mesh to find the internet, I have to manually add a default route. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Matt

ipv6 has a router advertisement protocol and radvd implements it:

Maybe there is something similar you could do with avahi/mdns for ipv4, but
I am not aware of anything offhand.
