    This document provides instructions for configuring a router running OpenWRT/LEDE to connect to a ZeroTier network and bridge the ZeroTier virtual interface to the router's LAN interface. It outlines installing Zerotier on the router, adding the router as a managed device on the ZeroTier dashboard, configuring the virtual interface and LAN settings, and testing the connection and speed using iperf3.

    RUTX14

    The base of this paper is:


    https://zerotier.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/7438339/Layer+2+Bridging+with+LEDE+OpenWRT )

    Initial name/PW: admin/admin01

    Zerotier (Router config done from PC connected to the router)


    Connect to router (WLAN, WiFi)

    Go to: Services→Package Manager and install Zerotier (Press + button for installation)

    RUTX14 (according to:

    Goto Services→VPN→Zerotier and add “Remote Station” service.

    (My ID whitened)

    Save and apply. Switch it on

    Now it should appear in the Zerotier Dashboard on your PC. Accept it and enable Ethernet bridging (as shown in
    video)

    Add new managed route (leave via empty):


    And assign a network:

    Now you can connect to the router with ping and the Zerotier address

    Login with Router’s Zerotier address (10.99.5.xx):

    Go to System→CLI, login with your credentials, and type

    ifconfig
    Look for ZeroTier virtual interface name and write it down. It should look something like this zxxxxxxx.

    With this zxxxxxx name go to Network -> Interfaces and edit LAN

    (same window as for IP config). In new window go to “Physical settings” and press dropdown menu for “Interface”,
    at “Custom” add ZeroTier interface name to bridge it and save everything. This should look similar like this:
    1. Go back to CLI and execute vi /etc/config/network

    2. Press <insert> on your keyboard in order to edit the configuration

    3. On the lan interface change option metric to 0:

    Check if others are the same as shown here (your zxxxxxxxx number should be here)

    4. Press esc key and :wq to save changes and exit

    5. Restart network service by executing /etc/init.d/network restart

    6. Configure router LAN IP to 10.99.4.1, subnet 255.255.254.0


    7. From your shack PC, the IP address of the router is now 10.99.4.1. Check if you see the Flex Radio connected to
    one of the LAN ports using Advanced IP Scanner (https://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ )

    Zerotier connection test


    Is My Device Relaying?

    Look at the Network's Member List at ZeroTier Central. If a Member doesn't have a Physical IP listed, it may be
    relaying.

    zerotier-cli commands: (admin/sudo privileges may be required):

    zerotier-cli info -j
    is "tcpFallbackActive" true? TCP fallback is the slowest form of relaying. It's a last resort.

    zerotier-cli listpeers
    Look for the Node ID <ztaddr> of the device you're trying to communicate with and see if it has an IP address listed
    under <path>. If there's no IP address, it's relaying.

    There's a second form of relaying where packets bounce off ZeroTier's infrastructure. This is better than TCP
    relaying, but can still be subject to packet loss and high latency.

    zerotier-cli peers
    Is an easier to read version of listpeers . It is available in zerotier versions 1.4 and up.

    Zerotier speed test


    Log in to your router (CLI) and execute these commands:

    opkg update
    opkg install iperf3
    Start it with:

    iperf3 -s
    Go to https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php#windows

    and install iperf3 on your shack computer

    Unzip and start iperf3 in the CMD prompt with:

    Iperf3 -c <Zerotier ip of your remote router>


    Now you should see the upload speed. You can
