We use this to configure LW4o6 tunnels using DHCPv6. This is already present in OpenWrt via the MAP package. It supports both MAP-E and LW4o6.
So I guess you're deploying "RG" style CPE routers to your customers that you've loaded OpenWRT onto? How's the maintainability of that? Any hardware recommendations?
Yes, we're buying devices from a vendor that uses OpenWrt as base for their operating system. We're using this one currently: https://www.intenogroup.com/products/gateways/eg400/ We remotely manage it using Netconf/YANG from our NMS so we can do software upgrades (and other management). If you have low volume you can of course use SSH and script it if that's what you want. They also have TR-69 based management, and perhaps others.
The mechanisms mentioned in this thread are exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm having trouble finding any COTS vendor support for them. I'm sure if I wanted to buy 100k units, somebody would put out some custom firmware for me, but as the network I'm doing this on is a brand new startup in a somewhat sparsely populated area, I'd be buying dozens at a time, not thousands.
Get in touch with them, tell them I said hi. They might be able to accomodate your low volume by sending you gateways with their default software on it and you'd have to upgrade it to whatever image you want on it, yourself. It only takes a few minutes per box so should be perfectly doable with your low volume. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
