Hi Solochan,<br><br>It seems correct. Repeater is the correct mode for msh0.<br>For eth0 you will have ad-hoc or managed (if the interface is associated to an access point).<br><br>Think of the school server with an active antenna attached as a gateway between the mesh and the infrasctructured network. The active antenna is the interface to the mesh, while the wired ethernet is the interface to the infrasctruture. I believe this will help understand the modes you see.<br>

But, please keep in mind that these entries expiry (I don't recall how long

<br>Look for an entry that forwards the frames destined to the anycast mac address of the server (c0:27:c0:27:c0:00) via the mac address of the first XO.<br>
