Hi, After creating a new RPi image: Linux raspberrypi 4.4.38-v7+ #938 SMP Thu Dec 15 15:22:21 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linx and installing 6lbr I am not able to access 6lbr webpage Everything works fine if I use my old uSD card with the same hardware (RPi2mB, cc2650 Launchpad as SLIP radio, CC2650 sensortags with Contiki as motes) How to debug it?

through experimentation found the problem, but I am unable to solve it: when I change in my /etc/6lbr/6lbr.conf from DEV_ETH=wlan0 to DEV_ETH=eth0 it works, but I need to work with wifi (wlan0) like in a previous system What do I need to change in my RPi system to make it work?

janeksz commented 7 years ago

following this link https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/issues/163 and this https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/wiki/6LBR-Interface-Configuration I am trying to setup "the routed interface mode" my config is:

and I added: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 into my /etc/sysctl.d

but still no luck (don't see 6lbr webpage [bbbb::100]

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

Well, I just made a set up with a pi and rasbian. Did you start the 6lbr service on the server ? sudo service 6lbr start

If it is not working, here is my conf

Interestingly, my ethernet connection is not named eth0 but enxb827eb15ec3a 1st do a ifconfig and check the name of your ethernet connection and correct the file with it 2nd, update your /etc/network/interfaces file

This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

The loopback network interface

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

The primary network interface

auto enxb827eb15ec3a iface enxb827eb15ec3a inet dhcp

Example to keep MAC address between reboots

hwaddress ether DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE

The secondary network interface

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports enxb827eb15ec3a bridge_stp off up echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping post-up ip link set br0 address `ip link show enxb827eb15ec3a | grep ether $

WiFi Example

auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wpa-ssid "essid"

wpa-psk "password"

make a sudo service network-manager stop & sudo service network-manager start in order to take the config into consideration

and then, configure the 6lbr router in /etc/6lbr/6lbr.conf

MODE=ROUTER

MODE=SMART-BRIDGE

MODE=RPL-RELAY

MODE=FULL-TRANSPARENT-BRIDGE

MODE=NDP-ROUTER

MODE=6LR

MODE=RPL-ROOT

RAW_ETH=0 BRIDGE=1 DEV_BRIDGE=br0 DEV_TAP=tap0 DEV_ETH=enxb827eb15ec3a RAW_ETH_FCS=1

DEV_RADIO=/dev/ttyACM0 BAUDRATE=115200

Enable this line if radio device is not detected

SCAN_DEVICE=/usr/lib/6lbr/bb-scan-usb.sh

LOG_LEVEL=3 #INFO and above only

YOU HAVE TO SET DEV_RADIO=/dev/ttyACM0 accordingly to your slip device listed in ls /dev

DO NOT FORGET TO START THE 6LBR PROCESS AT EACH STARTUP sudo service 6lbr start Then, to enable internet, sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.enxb827eb15ec3a.accept_ra=1

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup , Thanks, appreciate it, however it doesn't solve my problem. My system is running well if I use ethernet interface. I have a problem with wifi. As your 6lbr.conf suggest, you don't use wifi

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz Oh, yeah, sorry. I just made a setup bridging on the wifi interface and I can access the [bbbb:100] from it. I m not an expert, so there is things that I don't master but here is how I made it

In the /etc/network/interfaces, I used auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid "YOUR_SSID" wpa_psk "YOUR_PASSWORD"

When you modify /etc/network/interfaces, the network manager won't manage the devices anymore, so you have to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change the line managed=false for managed=true

Change the interfaces and 6lbr.conf files to bridge over wlan0 and restart your computer.

You should be connected to the wifi directly at startup.

I suppose that if ipv6 is disabled on your router, issues could happened due to the wifi interface being configured in dhcp mode. I have to test the stability of the bridge because all the interfaces are managed by the network manager now

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup Thanks again. I have tried your suggestions (bridge over wlan0), but still no luck. I don't have NetworkManager on my Raspberry Pi as it doesn't come with Raspbian OS Do you think I should install it? Would it make a change?

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

Well, I have exactly the same set up as you do : a rpi 3 with raspbian with a cc2650 as slip radio and 2 cc2650 as mote.

I had an issue using wlan0 because it couldn't bridge over br0. Check if you don't have the same issue (very likely because you can't use on wlan0 but can on eth0). You can check your /var/log/6lbr.log for the message error saying that 6lbr can't create a bridge between wlan0 and br0

I through that I found a way to make wlan0 bridge over br0 but it doens't work. Apparently making a bridge over wlan0 is not obvious for the pi. I'll work on it and keep you up to date.

Here is an usefull link https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39269

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup I understand, that you don't have it working using wlan0, correct? It doesn't work for me on both RPi2 (using USB wifi dongle) and RPi3 (using built-in wifi) both using latest Raspbian and latest 6lbr. Both have network connection working and I am using them in headless mode. Thanks for looking at this issue and please, let me know if there is any new development. I will try to contact Laurent by email, to see his view.

laurentderu commented 7 years ago

Bridging to a WiFi interface is complex and depends on several factors (and the old faq ins't really helpful about that, I will update it)

To have WiFi bridging you need two thinks :

The confusion comes from some WiFI chipset and drivers that in the past allowed to bridge the WiFi interface even not in AP mode (which seems to be forbidden by the WiFi standard...)

If you don't want to make your host as a WiFi AP there are two solutions :

Tell me how it works for you and I will update the doc accordingly and if it does not work I'll find more information.

Any conclusions?

laurentderu commented 7 years ago

@janeksz If you intend to use the routing interfacing, with your configuration you are still bridging wlan0 and tap0, which does not work. You should have in your 6lbr.conf file :

BRIDGE=0
RAW_ETH=0

In your /etc/network/interfaces you should have a normal interface for wlan0, not a bridge.

If you have :: in 6lbr.ip, that means the BR is still waiting for the network configuration. You must instead configure it manually using the nvm_tool :

nvm_tool --update --wsn-accept-ra 0 /etc/6lbr/nvm.dat

Or, if you are using 1.5.x, remove the /etc/6lbr/nvm.dat file to reset to default configuration.

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@laurentderu, thanks but I am still confused, so will need your advice step by step. I will try again on Monday, as I'm away for weekend. My main confusion is to understand the difference between modes ( many of them) and interface configurations (3 types) and how they are related. Anyhow following your previous post:

Use routing between the BR tap Interface and the WiFi interface, this can be done by enable ip forwarding in the host. The BR should be configured as SmartBridge with a manual configuration. An configuration example is available here : https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/wiki/6LBR-Interface-Configuration#routing-mode_

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz Ok so I made 6lbr working over wifi on the rpi ! You have to play with all the routing tables !

In order to do this, you have to desactivate the bridge in the 6lbr conf and interface conf files MODE=ROUTER BRIDGE = 0 #You want to redirect the connection yourself DEV_ETH=wlan0 RAW_ETH = 0

then in your interface file, you should not define br0

Once you restarted 6lbr, take a look at the ipv6 routing table sudo route -6 -n

Here is my network conf, adapt the command to yours bbbb::100 6lbr server address bbbb::/64 6lbr network addresses fd00::/64 node network addresses 192.168.150.251 local wifi address (configured static) 192.168.150.249 6lbr ip64 server address

what you have to do is 1) Declare that all address to bbbb::/64 shall go through to bbbb::100 on interface tap0 sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 gw bbbb::100 dev tap0

2) Declare that wlan0 can reach the network bbbb::/64 via the local loopback (cf the previous rule) sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 dev wlan0

3) Declare that wlan0 can reach your device network fd00::/64 or aaaa::/64 for you via bbbb::100 sudo route -A inet6 add fd00::/64 gw bbbb::100 dev wlan0

4) ONLY IF YOU HAVE AN IPV6 network enabled, On your client computer, add a rule to say that in order to reach your 6lbr server, you have to pass through the ip address of the wifi network address of your server sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::100 via SERVER'S WIFI IPV6 LOCAL ADDRESS sudo route -A inet6 add fd00::/64 via SERVER'S WIFI IPV6 LOCAL ADDRESS

That's it for ipv6

IF YOU WANT TO USE IP64

1) Declare that your 6lbr ipv4 server address (192.168.150.249) can be reached via tap0 sudo ip route add 192.168.150.249 dev tap0 Be aware that this address should be different than your wifi local network address !!!

2) On your client computer, add a rule to say that in order to reach your 6lbr server, you have to pass through the ip address of the wifi network address of your server (192.168.150.251 for me) sudo ip route add 192.168.150.249 via 192.168.150.251

Don't forget to enable ipv4 forwarding on the server side sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH THE 6LBR SERVER FROM IPV4 192.168.150.249

Then to access via IPV6 ONLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN IPV6 network enabled, you have to tunnel all ipv6 address (or only your ipv6 server address to 192.168.150.249), using for example 6to4 on your client computer cf tunnel bbbb::100 via 192.168.150.249

@florian-popup @laurentderu On my working 6lbr version I checked IP64 address here: 6lbr even if it is not shown here: root@raspberrypi:~# cat /var/log/6lbr.ip4 0.0.0.0 How can I read valid IP64 address from the command line?

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz You don't get any ip address because you have NAT 64 DHCP Enabled DHCP is a protocol that gives dynamically the ip addresses Desactivate it and you will get your ip address defined as 192.168.1.55 if there is no conflict (ip not already given by the dhcp router to another device). You can check if that ip is free with a ping on that address without 6lbr started

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz

Just after you start 6lbr, check if you can reach [bbbb::100] from your rpi. If you don't, there is an issue with the routing table. You have to delete all routing rules related to bbbb and wlan at the same time sudo route -A inet6 del bbbb::/64 dev wlan0 sudo route -A inet6 del bbbb::/64 gw bbbb::100 dev wlan0

Then follow all the steps as I descibed.

EDIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO ENABLE THE POSTROUTING sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE You should get a response after entering that line.

If you want to go deeper in the network configuration and securise your device, I invite you to take a look at -Static addressing plan -Ipv4 forwarding -Paquet forwarding

The command I gave for the network configuration are really loose about it ! But if you trust your local network and have a firewall (ie box internet), you should be fine

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup, thanks again re DHCP, I actually want a dynamic address and in my old system it is created and both IPv6 and IP64 work, but there is still a question how to read it from the command line (not GUI). In university environment IP addresses change very frequently and it is hard to have a static IP

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup, thanks again. I will try your further suggestion, when back at uni.

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz As Laurent suggested, ProxyARP would be worth a look. It will basiclly do the same thing as changing the ip tables and allowing ip forwarding but you won't have to manipulate the ip tables nor weaken the security and you would be able to use dhcp easly, have an autoconfiguration & autostart

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup , thanks for your patience, that thing is killing me, I wish I knew more about networking.

On my Windows client, still no access to [bbbb::100]

Can you see anything obviously wrong?

routing1

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@janeksz Your ip table is fine

Ok, so when you use route rules, the 6lbr servers interface isn't connected directly to you local network. Thus, you can't use DHCP or access to 6lbr directly.

So you have to enable ip forwarding (in your case ipv6 forwarding) on your rpi sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

Use masquerade too in sixx mode on your rpi sudo ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o sixxs -j MASQUERADE

DO NOT FORGET that you can't reach the bbbb::/64 network directly on a client because the local network router (ie your internet box) does either not listen to that network and cannot reach the 6lbr serveur interface.

Only your rpi knows how to reach the bbbb network via the rules in the ip tables The way I used to resolve that problem is to create a rule in the ip table of the client saying that in order to reach the bbbb network, you have to pass through the local network interface of your pi. On a debian client machine, it would be sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 gw YOUR_RPIS_WLAN_IPV6_ADDR dev wlan0 take a look here for windows route manipulation http://www.colorconsole.de/cmd/en/Windows_7/netsh/interface/ipv6/add/route.htm

(that works for ipv4, I tested it 2 times howerver, I don't have any ipv6 network and router configured so I can't test it but the mechanisms are exactly the same)

I m trying to set up an ARP on the rpi so there will be no need of such route rules, the 6lbr interface will be seen as a part of the local network thus, enabling DHCP, direct addressing ... but this is not my priority right now

Tell me if you succeed. I keep you up to date for the arp

laurentderu commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup Thank you for providing such detailed information, I will try to digest it and improve the documentation :) Maybe your configuration could be simplified by switching to SmartBridge mode and statically configure the 6LBR IPv6 address and prefix. With that the bbbb::/64 is no longer needed and you could only keep the fd00::/64 routing.

@janeksz Related to https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/issues/237#issuecomment-274698558, I looked at it and it's actually a bug. The .ip file is not updated when the IPv4 configuration is changed. I will fix that.

If you can modify the configuration of your WiFi AP and if it is sufficiently advanced, you could configure it to add a Route Information Option in the IPv6 network configuration to create the routes for the fd00::/64 (and bbbb::/64) subnets via the RPi link local wlan address. This is what 6LBR is doing to create the route to the WSN when in Router mode.

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup, @laurentderu , thank you both. I am away for a few days. I couldn't make it work for now, will have a look again later.

Hello everyone, I have already built the 6lbr many times, but since yesterday I am having problems. I'm trying to create a new system and when I click on the [bbbb :: 100] the sensor page, says connection failed. It will be a new update?

@MarCast, try to return to the last working version (hardware and software) and then change one thing at a time. That is, what I do, when in trouble. Good luck.

electronut commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup thanks for your message above on wlan0.

In my case, I am trying the simple pi setup as shown in the page below:

https://github.com/cetic/6lbr/wiki/Example-1:-Hello-6LBR

Instead of connecting eth0 to another computer, I have plugged it directly into the network. (The RJ45 cable of the Pi.)

So in that case, what is the correct routing command to be applied so that I can bring up [bbbb::100] in the browser? Currently it refuses to connect.

Thanks for any help.

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@electronut

If you are using ethernet, you won't have to make change about the ip tables as opposed as if you used wifi. always test if the 6lbr server is up from your pi In your case if the server doesn't bring up, you might have an error in your configuration. Stop the 6lbr service, suppress your 6lbr logs files and bring 6lbr up. Check your 6lbr log file (/var/log/6lbr.log) Also check the address of the 6lbr server in /var/log/6lbr.ip . If it is empty, you have a configuration error. If not, this is the address you have to connect to.

Look at the 1 st message I put in this thread, I gave some proper configuration files working with ethernet. Due to display command in github, the line in bold text have a comment sign before (hashtag). You can remove them Be sure that you changed both your /etc/network/interfaces file & your /etc/6lbr/6lbr.conf. Update yours according to. (my eth0 interface is named enxb827eb15ec3a and I don't know why)

At this point you should be able to connect to your 6lbr server FROM YOUR PI (using a web broswer). From this, the simpliest way to access it from another computer is to enable the 6to4 translation via the 6lbr server interface & connect to the server from another computer using the ip in /var/log/6lbr.ip4 If you have an ipv6 network with an ipv6 configured router on your network, you can ask your network administrator to redirect all local request addressing your 6lbr server address to your pi (via it's own local ipv6 address of the eth0 interface).

@laurentderu The presentation and step to install 6lbr are nice but they are missing (or not displayed enough) the tools to debug it if it doesn't work. A page listing the following step in case of issues could be nice Installation -Configure 6lbr interface & own device interface (with link to the pages listing the detailed configuration) -The path to all the logs files and description for debug, way to clear them Debug

Some ints about networking like static ip configuration & ip forwarding, tunneling in order to make the access to the webserver easier

Also, I wrote a plugin to display all ip address of the devices routed by the server in a log file. It could be very usefull to add it to the basic functionality to make the interfacing to any domotic/IOT framework easier. I can provide you the code if you want.

Last thing, I know that linux ie debian does't support RPL routing yet. Have you consider contributing to it ? That would be a really nice improvement for IOT

In /etc/network/interfaces I have:

iface eth0 inet manual

With the above, I am still not able to reach [bbbb:100]

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@electronut

In your 6lbr conf try

RAW_ETH=0 BRIDGE=1

and in your interface file put

auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off up echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping post-up ip link set br0 address `ip link show eth0 | grep ether $

(I think that is the reason it is not working.( If you don't have the aboves lines already). You desactivated the link of the bridge to tap0 in you 6lbr conf (BRIDGE =0) so you have no access to tap0 (the interface to 6lbr) thus, the webserver)

Restart your pi Also, I need more lignes from your 6lbr log file if it is still crashing

electronut commented 7 years ago

Thanks @florian-popup

The cmd below seems to be missing something:

`ip link show eth0 | grep ether $

Should it instead be:

`ip link show eth0 | awk '/ether/ {print $2}'
electronut commented 7 years ago

Hi @florian-popup

Your configuration works (with my awk change above), and now the [bbbb:100] webpage loads, but only once. As soon as I refresh the page or click on any of the tabs, something crashes, and it is no longer able to display the page till I restart the 6lbr service. Any ideas on what might be happening?

florian-popup commented 7 years ago

@electronut

Thanks for the correction on the command line

Well, I have no idea and can't guess without seeing your logs. clear your logs, make the crash happen and post your 6lbr.log entirely. It might have been better to open a new thread since the problems are different, one is configuration, the other is pi compatibility with wifi chipset although the title is confusing here

janeksz commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup @laurentderu Unfortunately in uni labs students are using Windows computers and don't have admin rights to change routes. We need to use for now the old Raspian and old RPi2 to be able to use WiFi with 6lbr. Hopefully some solution will come soon, before the next semester. Thanks again for your support.

INemesisI commented 7 years ago

Hello, I have used 6lbr on a raspberry pi 3 for about 4 months now. Unfortunately since this week I am unable to access the web interface of 6lbr. Suspecting, that I screwed something up in my configuration, I tried to setup everything again on a fresh raspbian installation.

To not overload this issue, I put all Info into a gist: https://gist.github.com/INemesisI/33aaea8b31c5501e03e38a3100f75367

The weird thing is: I am able to access the website the first time right after restarting my computer. After a certain time http://[bbbb::100]/ gets unreachable. The same thing happened, when I tried to access the website from my phone!

I spend so much time on this issue now and have no idea anymore, what to do. I would be really glad, if you could help me out here.

Also I have a second question: How do I need to setup 6lbr, if I want to be able to run it without any external network connection (no ethernet or wifi)? I would like to be able to just use it as a standalone local network.

laurentderu commented 7 years ago

@INemesisI I looked at your logs, and I don't see anything wrong at first sight. Loosing connection after a while is often linked to issues with the bridge on the BR host. It could either be that the multicast snooping is reactivated by some other process or a network manager app could reconfigure the bridge interface. The later could be plausible as the eth0 and tap0 interfaces have IPv4 address although they are disabled in /etc/network/interfaces

For your second question, by default 6LBR in Router mode can work in standalone mode. You don't even have to create a bridge if you plan to only reach it from the hosting platform.

@MarCast @laurentderu Hi, I am able to access the website the first time right after restarting my computer, when I click on the [bbbb :: 100] the sensor page, says connection failed. Cloud you tell me how you solve this problem?

electronut commented 7 years ago

@CreativityH I had the same issue. Just get the dev branch. See issue #246

chenek commented 7 years ago

There is a step-by-step how-to at http://sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/2017/04/running-6lbr-on-raspberry-pi-with-wifi.html which shows you run 6lbr with WiFi enable on Raspbian.

NaniteFactory commented 7 years ago

@florian-popup @laurentderu Thank you for sharing detailed information about 6lbr configuration with wifi.

I'm trying to connect my 6lbr to a wifi network but all the clients other than the device running 6lbr itself are not able to access [bbbb::100].

On my RPi3 (with 6lbr), I've tried followings:

MODE=ROUTER
RAW_ETH=0
BRIDGE=0
DEV_ETH=wlan0

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 gw bbbb::100 dev tap0
sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 dev wlan0
sudo route -A inet6 add fd00::/64 gw bbbb::100 dev wlan0

And then on my client side RPi3, I did this thing:

sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 gw 2003::1 dev wlan0

[2003::1] is a global ipv6 address of my (runnnig 6lbr) RPi's wlan0.

But still, unable to ping6 bbbb::100 from the client.

there was actually some progress though.

before executing command sudo route -A inet6 add bbbb::/64 dev wlan0

ping6 bbbb::100 would not even respond (got timed out),

but now it at least gives me an error saying "host unreachable"

[2003::1] is absolutely reachable. and I can also successfully ping6 from the client to bbbb::(whatever) on the tap0 interface but to bbbb::100 .

please help me. I spent so many hours on this trying all kinds of possible combinations of ip tables. xD

what would be the problem?

janeksz commented 6 years ago

@chenek @laurentderu @florian-popup Can anyone advise on a solution to run 6lbr on RPi3 using WiFi?

florian-popup commented 6 years ago

@janeksz @NaniteFactory Unfurtunatly I m not working on using 6lbr anymore cause I got a mcu that is not supported by contiki natively. So I switched to RIOT. Apparently Riot got some tools from contiki (the tuntap for exemple). If I ever make this works with the 6lbr interface (slip) I ll use 6lbr as border router and investigate that wifi routing but I have been unsucessfull up to now

florian-popup commented 6 years ago

@janeksz @NaniteFactory Maybe adapting this script by using the wifi interface and defining the input/output can be worth a try: https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/commit/8bfb8562202082b1acbf9684a7eb6ddeca20ffea As it will use ipv6 forwarding with Masquerade

janeksz commented 6 years ago

@florian-popup @laurentderu @NaniteFactory thanks, I found this http://www.thingsquare.com/blog/articles/wireless-sensor-network-raspberry-pi-zero-w/ and will try to investigate how to

horopciuc commented 6 years ago

Hey there! Has anyone succeeded in accessing the web page (bbbb) using the eth0 connection? I've tried various methods, but still no success. Can someone help me with the /network/interfaces and 6lbr.conf.rpi files? Also I'm unable to find the 6lbr.conf file. I've recloned the 6lbr library from github , and I've noticed that the file that previous was 6lbr.conf might have changed it's name into 6lbr.conf.rpi . Could someone give me a hand? Thanks!

chenek commented 6 years ago

@horopciuc Try to refer to http://sunmaysky.blogspot.tw/2015/08/setup-6lbr-to-run-6lowpan-with-cc2531.html?m=1

horopciuc commented 6 years ago

Thank you @chenek , I've tried that, but still no result. I was wondering if there's someone who managed to access the bbbb page after the recent update of 6lbr.
