At various times and on different nodes, we have seen the IP for a MESH node appear in the Neighbors but the Node Name is never displayed. In most cases, the LQ is 90-100%. The node can be pinged, telnet, and direct connection to the node which then displays all node information. Eventhough some connectivity is available to the node, since the node name is not displayed, the node does not appear as a Neighbor, as a Remote Node and is not shown in the OSLR lists.

What is the criteria for the node name being displayed? Is this an indication of a system or connection problem?

This may be one of the mysteries of life but I will appreciate a better understanding of how this connection display works.

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

I have seen this on more than one occasion, and usually to fix it, I reboot either or both ends of the connection. Simple workaround for now.

Im going to bet its a bug in the older OLSR, which is responsible for the DNS resolution. Hopefully very soon we will be releasing an firmware update which will have the latest OLSR, and hopefully a bunch of bug fixes in the OLSR.
