[Commotion-discuss] Trying to build a mesh in Italy: first questions

[Mario Giammarco]

Hello,
just a quick introduction:
I am trying to use mesh technologies to win digital divide in Italy.
I am planning a "self sutstaining" network where people and enterprise will
buy mesh nodes to receive several services and so they will indirectly make
the mesh bigger.
Eventually I will describe the "marketing" strategies I am choosing.
I have first two technical questions:

1) How can I monitor nodes from outside the mesh? Can I also change all
node parameters (e.g. modifying wpa password to all nodes) with a
centralized management tool?

2) In some use cases I need a level 2 mesh so I can pass dhcp to a subset
of nodes. Is there a pratical way to do this with commotion wireless? I am
thinking to put an "ether over ip" vpn on each node that communicates with
a (mikrotik) gateway that is also dhcp server

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thank you very much in advance,
Mario
