Using RPL

Setting up root

# in root mode, kernel will use iface addr as dodag id
$ sudo ip addr add 2001:aaaa:beef:c0fe::1/64 dev lowpan0

# setup iface to act as dodag root
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lowpan0.rpl_dodag_root=1

# enable rpl on iface
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lowpan0.rpl_enabled=1

Setting up RPL router

# enable without rpl-userspace-tools
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.lowpan0.rpl_enabled=1

# enable with rpl-userspace-tools
$ sudo rpl-ctl enable lowpan0

Disable IPv6 Privacy Extensions

RPL module announces all global IPv6 addresses of RPL enabled iface. It might not be desired to announce 2 or 3 addresses of each node to DAG.

To disable IPv6 Privacy Extensions:

$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 0
