ping "request" from UE going across eNB is going to the eth0 interface on the openair-spgwu-tiny container. I think it should be going to the pdn interface??? Right?

root@0380057da8bb:/openair-spgwu-tiny# tcpdump -i eth0
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
17:09:29.879160 IP 12.1.1.2 > 12.1.1.1: ICMP echo request, id 22845, seq 21, length 64

The ping command from the UE to the pdn gateway interface 12.1.1.1 never responds..

However, a ping from the pdn interface on openair-spgwu-tiny to 12.1.1.2, goes to the UE, but the reply goes to eth0.

Are these commands correct?
$ python3 component/oai-spgwu-tiny/ci-scripts/generateConfigFiles.py --kind=SPGW-U
--sxc_ip_addr=${SPGW0_IP} --sxu=eth0 --s1u=eth0 --from_docker_file
$ docker cp ./spgwu-cfg.sh prod-oai-spgwu-tiny:/openair-spgwu-tiny
$ docker exec -it prod-oai-spgwu-tiny /bin/bash -c "cd /openair-spgwu-tiny && chmod 777 spgwu-cfg.sh && ./spgwu-cfg.sh"

The "temporary" solution.
Change the following in the etc/spgw_u.conf file in the openair-spgwu-tiny container.
From:
SGI :
{
# No config to set, the software will set the SGi interface to the interface used for the default route.
INTERFACE_NAME = "eth0"; # STRING, interface name or "default_gateway"
.....

to
SGI :
{
# No config to set, the software will set the SGi interface to the interface used for the default route.
INTERFACE_NAME = "pdn"; # STRING, interface name or "default_gateway"
....

Then reload the containers.
When the UE attaches to the network, ping responds

I will see if i can find a permanent fix in the scripts.

Hi,dcollin5
I also meet this error,but when i change the SGI inferface_name = "pdn",i find the ue can ping the pdn but i can't access the network, can you help me ?
Thanks very much.

Hi I think doing the following [from here: http://iristestbed.eu/index.php/2-uncategorised/13-12-oai-gnb-and-oai-nrue]: Install tools in Docker containers The following tools can be useful to install in the in the prod-oai-spgwu-tiny. support tcpdump to gateway address. Also ping, and vi if you need it. docker exec -it prod-oai-spgwu-tiny /bin/bash apt-get update apt install iputils-ping tcpdump iptables vim -y In Docker Container docker exec -it prod-oai-spgwu-tiny /bin/bash iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface pdn -j ACCEPT sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 Then reload the containers.

Ok, i will try it.
Thanks Very much

Hi, do you need to manually create the interface "pdn" before hand?
Can you share how you call generate_spgwu-tiny_config_script arguments?

[Matheus-Garbelini]

Hi @liyinxin and @dcollin5 another way is to just change ci-scripts/generate_spgwu-tiny_config_script.py:
from SNAT = "no" to SNAT = "yes". This will enable address translation and masquerade requests to/from PDN.
Unfortunately, this feature is undocumented, not sure why.
