gluon-web-network

The package gluon-web-network is part of :ref:`Feature Flag <user-site-feature-flags>` web-advanced. It allows to configure the network interfaces roles of the gluon node in config mode through checkboxes.

It is a user-friendly way to configure what otherwise would need the :ref:`wired-mesh-commandline`.

configuration options

The following roles can be assigned to the interfaces:

• Uplink - interface is used for WAN connection, which is used for the VPN if mesh-vpn checkbox is enabled in basic config mode
• Mesh - interface is used for :doc:`../features/wired-mesh`. Using this on the WAN interface is also known as "Mesh-on-WAN"
• Client - interface is used as client network - connected devices to this interface should get a working internet configuration through DHCP

The roles Uplink/Mesh and Client are mutually exclusive.
