Issue with ChirpStack Gateway Mesh – Border & Relay Gateway Setup

ChirpStack Gateway Mesh
1

Hello @brocaar,

First of all, thank you for introducing this amazing feature!

I am currently setting up a LoRa Mesh Gateway following the documentation, but I seem to be missing something. I have two gateways, both equipped with SX1302 concentrators and running ChirpStack Gateway OS with the IN868 region profile. Both function correctly as standalone LoRa gateways.

Now, I want to enable Mesh Networking with:

  1. Border Gateway
  2. Relay Gateway

I have followed the official documentation: ChirpStack Gateway Mesh, but my Relay Gateway does not appear in the Mesh network.

Current Configuration Summary

1. Border Gateway Configuration

  • :white_check_mark: Mesh Enabled (under ChirpStack → Gateway Mesh).
  • :white_check_mark: Mesh Configuration:
    • Role: Border Gateway.
    • Ignore Direct Uplinks: Enabled.
    • Signing Key: All 1s (111111...).
    • Backend: Configured as Single Slot Gateway.
  • :white_check_mark: ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder:
    • Slot 1: Disabled.
    • Mesh Tab → Global Configuration: Enabled.

2. Relay Gateway Configuration

  • :white_check_mark: Mesh Enabled (under ChirpStack → Gateway Mesh).
  • :white_check_mark: Mesh Configuration:
    • Role: Relay Gateway.
    • Signing Key: All 1s (matching Border Gateway).
    • Backend: Configured as Single Slot Gateway.
  • :white_check_mark: ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder:
    • Slot 1: Disabled.
    • Mesh Tab → Global Configuration: Disabled.

Additionally, I set the Mesh region to IN868.

Thank you for making this awesome feature.
I was able to run this using eu868 but now facing problem since there is no profile regarding in865, please help me changing required parameters. so IN865 can work.
