Managing OpenWRT¶

Installing and configuring Jool¶

• You can use one of the known NAT64 prefixes from our networks (LINK!)
  • In the example below this is 2a0a:e5c0:2:10::/96
• You need to have a /96 (or better: /64) routed to the openwrt
  • In the example below this is 2a0a:e5c0:17:1::/96

opkg install kmod-jool
opkg install jool-tools

# Load the kernel module
modprobe jool_siit

# The range which will be the target for the 2nd NAT (if needed to reach a v4 ip)
jool_siit -6 2a0a:e5c0:2:10::/96

# Pick a v6 range to translate TO and a v4 range to translate from
jool_siit -e -a 2a0a:e5c0:17:1::/96 192.168.61.0/24

# Accept Router Advertisements to keep the default address
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=2
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=2
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra=2
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br-lan.accept_ra=2

Enabling routing with router advertisements¶

• By default ipv6 forwarding is on (good!)
• By default accept_ra is 0
  • This does not set the route properly into the kernel -> routing is broken
• Need to modify accept_ra to 2

Enabling SSH access on wan¶

Enable it in the web interface

 $URL/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/admin/dropbear 

OR

Dropbear uci var (not tested):

    option GatewayPorts 'on' 

Resetting to factory default¶

• See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/troubleshooting/failsafe_and_factory_reset

firstboot -y && reboot now

Installing and configuring an APU as a PIB with OpenWRT¶

• Get the x86 64 SQUASHFS image
  • https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/x86/64/
  • combined-squashfs.img.gz
• Gunzip it
• dd it it an usb stick
• Boot the usb stick on the APU
• When booted, wget it on the APU and write it over /dev/sda

wget ... -O - | gunzip > /dev/sda

• Configure it using pib-setup.sh from ungleich-tools
• Create a network on the VPN server

Installing openwrt (squashfs) on APU details¶

opkg update

• Install SSL certifaicates

opkg install libustream-openssl ca-bundle ca-certificates

• check the time and date if it is not correct, modify the time and date as follows
  

  date -s YEARMONTHDATETIME 
  

• Flashing the squashfs openwrt image into the APUs SSD (adjust to the correct version)

wget -O - http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/
x86/64/openwrt-19.07.3-x86-64-combined-squashfs.img.gz | gunzip > /dev/sda 

Defaults after Openwrt installation¶

• eth0 = WAN
• eth1&2 = LAN

Setting up the GL-INET GL-MT300N-V2¶

• Go to advanced and flash the standard image
• Link: https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl.inet_gl-mt300n_v2
