BPI Controller

Prerequisites :  (one time process)

1. Setup mysql in BPI controller (One time process)

   Panel
   borderColor black borderStyle dashed title DB Setup
   → Input command mysql in prompt, enter into mariadb console → CREATE USER 'bpi'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root'; → ALTER USER 'bpi'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root'; → GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'bpi'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'root'; → FLUSH PRIVILEGES; → SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user; → Exit from mysql

2. Once user is added in mysql, enter into prompt with root access.

   Panel
   borderColor black borderStyle dashed title bpi root
   → Input command mysql -u bpi -p, password is root

3. Create OneWifiMesh table in mariadb
   

   Panel
   borderColor black borderStyle dashed title Creating database
   → create database OneWifiMesh; → use OneWifiMesh; → show tables;                   ==> should show no tables

     
4. Please have below files in /nvram folder,

1. Start onewifi easymesh controller in new tab
   In Ctrl colocated mode should be always 1
   /usr/ccsp/EasyMesh# onewifi_em_ctrl bpi@root (Here bpi is the user and root is the password)
   
   Reset database, resetting can be done from cli (see log: data base empty ... needs reset)
         
2. Start onewifi easymesh cli in a new tab
   /usr/ccsp/EasyMesh# ./onewifi_em_cli bpi
   

   Panel
   borderColor black borderStyle dashed title onewifi_em_cli bpi
   → In the cli use "Tab" to move between Update, Apply and Cancel button in the cli, use keys "j" and "k" to scroll up and down → Select "Wifi Reset" and then select Update to update the window. → In the CollocatedAgentID update the Mac address of the interface which needs to be treated as AL MAC. In case of using wireless backhaul, use the appropriate "wlan" interface as CollocatedAgentID. → Select Apply to reset the database.

   Sample cli response given below:
   
   Change colocatedAgentID mac addr to interface which needs to be treated as AL MAC
   
   
   
3. Once AL MAC is set check the ctrl prompt whether database reset happened
   
   Observe outputs deleting all datamodels and database insert to verify successful reset
   Sample response in ctrl: 
   
   Response in database: Respective rows will be updated in db
   
   
4. Restart onewifi_em_ctrl
   Observe private_ssid are broadcasting
   
   
5. After restart run the agent
