Sometimes when my power goes out, the fluxo boots faster than my dhcp server (which is on a virtual linux machine). If my understanding is correct, the meter will go into dhcp server mode itself, handing out 192.168.255.0/24 to everything else in competition with the real dhcpd.
The results aren't pretty.
Is there a way to turn of this functionality or better deal with this situation? Other than throwing the meter in a separate vlan I'm out of ideas.
Thanks in advance!
Is that so? When in reporting mode, the Flm is a dhcp client. Never experienced any issies. Anyway. as the Flm is an openWRT based machine, you may take a look there. Documention is pretty wide ranged...
I've noticed this too. The Flukso boots faster than my Ubiquiti router after a power failure. If that happens, I have to manually reboot the Flukso to get it to connect again.
If there is a simple way to fix this without me having to wade through lots of documentation, I'd appreciate a hint!
See openWRT dhcp docu - in the network config of the Flm only the lan interface knows a static IP address in the named range; wlan always goes via dhcp (see folder /etc/config). And also the dhcp config has no specialties - it really seems a matter of the reporting mode. A hint may be the auto generated config in /tmp/etc; see dnsmasq.conf
Thanks for that, I'll have a look!
