[MIP6D-NG Support] ping6 not working

[BOKOR Laszlo]

Hi Neha,

thanks for your e-mail. First: if you are pinging the MN from an other 
node in the network then the HA, it should work. The ping not working 
shows that there is something wrong, so neither telnet,ftp,ssh,http nor 
anything else will work. An important test:

-before starting mip6d-ng both on the MN and the HA, make sure that the 
MN pings from HA and vica versa. The other node in the network 
(Correspondent Node, CN), should be pinged as well.

-after starting mip6d-ng both on the MN and the HA, the CN should ping 
both the MN and the HA nodes, and any IPv6 traffic should go fine between 
the MN-CN context.

-In the config your colleague sent me I can not see the "interfaces" 
section, e.g.:

interfaces = { "wlan0" }

Please use the below format:

MN SIDE

loglevel = 2
interfaces = { "wlan0" }
md-delete-delay = 8
mn {
 	home-address = "2001:db8:ffff::1"
 	ha-address   = "2001:db8:ffff::1000"
 	lifetime = 40
}
bid-pri wlan0 {
 	# Lower value indicates higher priority
 	priority = 10
}
api {
listening_port = 1234
}

HA SIDE

loglevel = 2
ha {
     address = "2001:db8:ffff::1000"
     interface = "eth0"
}
api {
     listening_port = 1234
}

-in whireshark use the display filter "mipv6"

-please don't use radvd on the HA. Configure a separate router with at 
least two different wifi networks (links) for the handover tests. On that 
router/routers you can use radvd for the prefix advertisement on the wifi 
links.

Best regards,
goodzi
