How the simulated UE provided by free5GC can ping google.com

[vikash]

Dear ,
I was following the tesh.sh script , and i saw that we are running all the components such as UPF, runCN, N3IWF, then UE is getting started to run.
now my question is how this UE would be able to ping the Data network i.e, google.com in my case.

Thanks
vikash

You might modify the ping IP inside src/test/registration_test.go

[vikash]

Thanks a lot. I will look into it.

It seems similar issue to the one below.
Did you make a modification on the configuration?

[Bugs] RUN TestServiceRequest Error

[vikash]

Dear,
No, I didn’t modify any configurations. i can see only this “TestNon3GPP” Test is getting passed, others are getting failed.

Can you please test again by replacing the command git.cs.nctu.edu.tw/calee/sctp to github.com/ishidawataru/sctp and check whether the issue will be resolve.

[free5GC]

What is the error message?

if the error is similar to the one above, you can try it again by replacing this command git.cs.nctu.edu.tw/calee/sctp to github.com/ishidawataru/sctp.

@free5GC

Can you please test again by replacing the command git.cs.nctu.edu.tw/calee/sctp to github.com/ishidawataru/sctp and check whether the issue will be resolve.

I tried to replace sctp as per your instruction but still problem not got resolved.

[thornton]

hi,
if you are familiar with the oneinall OAI project,you can setup a local site connectivity like that.then use run.sh(do a little change),and change the connectivity data in test.sh. and modify the registration_test.go .
and add the snat use iptables. i have made it work. In real world,the 5gc shall run separate,and connect with gnb.

Try this solution

TestRegistration Failed

I think I found the problem. After you run TestNon3GPP, the test script will modify the ngapIpList. Although the scrip will auto recover the amf config file, if you terminate the test manually, the ngapIpList will not be recover. After that, if you run other test (e.g. TestRegistration), the sctp will bind to an IP that are not exist so it will failed. So this might not relate to different version. Refer to the trouble shooting:

[vikash]

Dear thornton,

Are you using RFSIMULATOR provided by OAI to set up the communication with free5GC?

[thornton]

hi.
i use the test script(but i didn’t use the netns),you can change the destination of ping in the registration_test.go. and the most important is the iptables(you can do it by snat, your UE ip to your Gi interface).
br,thornton.

Hi bro,
I check this topic and only find the .pcap file attached. Would you pls upload the pdf instruction again? I think what you’ve done can be a great help for newbie like me. I am quite struggle in the setup procedure. So many thanks.

Hi bro,
Thanks so much!!!

Dear @thornton
Thanks for the PDF instruction!

I don’t know what gi addres in instruction means.
Is the gi address some kind of IP address assigned to the UPF by free5GC?
How can I find the gi address?

[thornton]

hi
it’s the interface to connect to internet.
br,thornton.

[koh]

Hi @thornton.
In other words, is the gi address the IP address associated with wlp2s0, which is set to natifname in instruction?
