Dispel’s Wickets have built-in simplified management, to make managing your device easier!

sudo wicket debug is a built-in command that will automatically run tests on the wicket’s connection to the Dispel network and output an explanation of what’s happening, as well as remediation steps.

An example output may look like:

sudo wicket interface configure allows for a guided experience for configuring a wickets interfaces (statically setting IP addresses .vs. DHCP, and setting the default route).

You’ll first be prompted to select which interface to configure:

Next, you will be prompted to enter the desired static IP in CIDR notation, or DHCP for this interface. In this example we will be setting the IP to 192.168.1.5 with a /24 subnet mask.

Next, you will be prompted to determine the default route. Each wicket can only have 1 default route, and generally the default route is used on the south facing interface. In this example, we will not be configuring the default route.

Finally, there will be two confirmation messages. The first applies your changes now, and the second applies your changes to persist on reboot.

Once confirmed, your full current configuration will print to the terminal.

To view a wicket’s full routing table you can run ip r.

To view routes that are managed by the wicket service (as opposed to the Ubuntu operating system) you can run sudo wicket route show.

To add a route, run sudo wicket route add.

You will be prompted for the target subnet, which must be entered in CIDR notation.

Next, you will be prompted to enter the gateway for your route.

Lastly you will be asked to choose which of the wicket’s interfaces to use for this route. In this example, we choose enp0s8.

To remove a route, run sudo wicket route remove.

All routes that are managed by the wicket service will be printed to the screen, and to remove one, you simply need to select the number associated with your route.

After selecting, all remaining routes that are managed by the wicket service will be printed to the terminal.
