Ansible roles to deploy WiMoVE

deployment's Issues

Adapt playbooks for `max_vni` and `min_vni` options

Automatically detect hostapd sockets

Our setup should automatically detect all open hostapd sockets and then set the wimoved config accordingly.

Local MAC addresses of gateway are not advertised

The gateway does not advertise its own MAC address automatically and traffic only reaches its target since the VTEP is only registered as a member to receive broadcast traffic.

Set uplink and wimove interface on gateway

We need to make the name of the internet uplink (and potentially separate wimove) interface configurable.
A variable has been introduced but it must be used in the corresponding config files (netplan, nftables) to work properly.

Configure VNI count on APs

Currently, the VNI count is only used to determine how many interfaces need to be set up on the gateway. However, we also need this number in the wimoved configuration since the APs need to know how many VNIs exist to distribute the stations.

Rename program to wimoved

Since we have renamed the program, we should also rename the files here to reflect the name change.

Do not double-log logs to syslog

We have to make sure that we do not log the logs to the syslog twice (from wimoved itself and the system service manager).
This is a working example:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Example script
# Copyright (C) 2007 OpenWrt.org

USE_PROCD=1
START=99
STOP=15
start_service() {
         procd_open_instance [instance_name]
         procd_set_param command /usr/bin/wimoved # service executable that has to run in **foreground**.
         # respawn automatically if something died, be careful if you have an alternative process supervisor
         # if process dies sooner than respawn_threshold, it is considered crashed and after 5 retries the service is stopped
         procd_set_param respawn ${respawn_threshold:-3600} ${respawn_timeout:-15} ${respawn_retry:-10}
         procd_set_param stdout 0 # forward stdout of the command to logd
         procd_set_param stderr 0 # same for stderr
         procd_set_param user root # run service as user nobody
         procd_set_param term_timeout 60 # wait before sending SIGKILL
         procd_close_instance
}

VXLAN uses wrong local IP

The local IP of the VXLAN gateway is not set dynamically. Thus, when it is deployed at another IP, zebra will report wrong IP addresses to the FDB of the APs.
