Easily span a layer 2 network over a small group of, not necessarily adjacent, routers. This patch introduces a new `vxmesh` configuration section. It takes care of setting up a shared client network using vxlan among all configured routers. As a result, clients can finally roam between the routers of the mesh. It integrates well with the underlying layer 3 routing to make best use of the infrastructure available. This way the network is not depending on a contiguous layer 2 spanning tree topology and can make use of all fallback mechanisms of the layer 3 underlay. This example config ... ``` config gateway option peer_ip6 '2001:0db8::1' # required ... config vxmesh option proto 'vxlan|vxlan6' # required option vid '42' # required # ... # any vxlan options can be included # ... # list of peers for headend replication list peer '2001:0db8::1' # list can include the ip of the router list peer '2001:0db8::2' # this way the complete config section list peer '2001:0db8::3' # can be copied to all routers in the list peer '2001:0db8::4' # group ... ``` ... will generate ... ``` config interface client ... # append and remove the vxmesh0 entry # depending on whether a vxmesh is configured ifname '... vxmesh0' ... ... config interface 'vxmesh0' option proto 'vxlan6' option vid '42' config vxlan_peer option vxlan 'vxmesh0' option dst '2001:0db8::2' config vxlan_peer option vxlan 'vxmesh0' option dst '2001:0db8::3' config vxlan_peer option vxlan 'vxmesh0' option dst '2001:0db8::4' ``` It will also take care and configure the `dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].authoritative` setting depending on whether a vxmesh is enabled or not.
