Dear Community,
I have correctly installed free5GC following this guide: Installation · free5gc/free5gc Wiki · GitHub .Running CN (./run.sh) on a Virtual Machine, it seems that there is only the N6 interface. I mean, running ifconfig on the console I see only the upfgtp interface (by the way without ipv4 address).
It seems that the N2 (gNB - AMF) and N3 (gNB UPF) interfaces are missing. I’m trying to connect an external RAN (OAI on the server where I have the VM with free5GC).
The questions are:
- without the N2 and N3 interfaces, how can I get the gNB of OAI to communicate with free5GC?
- Is it normal that with ifconfig I see only upfgtp ? And without ipv4 address?
I have tried several times in modifying ipv4 addresses in the configuration files, but cannot find a solution. I’ m reporting one as an example, I try to change the address of what I think is the N2 interface in the amfcfg.yaml file:
ngapIpList: # the IP list of N2 interfaces on this AMF.
- 10.7.0.50
when I run the CN, I get the following error:
[ERRO][MFA][NGAP] Failed to listen: cannot assign requested address
What am I doing wrong? Why don’t I see the interfaces on ifconfig? How do I communicate an external RAN to free5GC (for example OAI requires the ipv4 address of the AMF in the configuration file)?
Thanks in advance,
Giuseppe
