Hi All:

When I try to create a tap0 interface in the RTU950 I get this:

root@Teltonika-RUT950:~# ip tuntap help                                                                 

Object "tuntap" is unknown, try "ip help".

When I enter that in my computer I get this:

jserinki7 /home/jserink # ip tuntap help

Usage: ip tuntap { add | del | show | list | lst | help } [ dev PHYS_DEV ]

[ mode { tun | tap } ] [ user USER ] [ group GROUP ]

[ one_queue ] [ pi ] [ vnet_hdr ] [ multi_queue ] [ name NAME ]

Where: USER  := { STRING | NUMBER }

GROUP := { STRING | NUMBER }

Why does the iproute2 package in the router not support setting up a tap interface?

Cheers,

John

Ok, had to do this:

root@Teltonika-RUT950:~# opkg remove ip --force-depends                                                 

Removing package ip from root...                                                                        

Not deleting modified conffile /etc/iproute2/rt_tables.   

Then this:

root@Teltonika-RUT950:~# opkg install ip-full                                                           

Installing ip-full (4.0.0-1) to root...                                                                 

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/packages/base/ip-full_4.0.0

-1_ar71xx.ipk.                                                                                          

Configuring ip-full.  

Now, it works....

root@Teltonika-RUT950:~# ip tuntap help                                                                 

Usage: ip tuntap { add | del | show | list | lst | help } [ dev PHYS_DEV ]                              

          [ mode { tun | tap } ] [ user USER ] [ group GROUP ]                                          

          [ one_queue ] [ pi ] [ vnet_hdr ] [ multi_queue ]                                             

                                                                                                        

Where: USER  := { STRING | NUMBER }                                                                     

       GROUP := { STRING | NUMBER }                                                                     

root@Teltonika-RUT950:~#   

Ok, back to work.

Cheers,

John
