Remote Netconf Device

• IPV4 or IPV6
• Point-to-point connection to "tunnel client"
• "tunnel client" IP is used as termination IP for VES Message

SSH tunnel Client

• Linux machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi 3B with 1 gig ram) 
• Configuration with IPV6 and IPV4 DHCP
• SSH Client, with setup to connect to "SSH tunnel server" via "OWL SSH" Gateway

Installation Guide

•  Download raspbian-lite image (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
• extract zip file
• flash img file to microsd card
  • linux: dd bs=1M if=file/to/flash.img of=/dev/devicetoflash
  • windows: use win32diskimager
• after finished flashing, remount microsd on your computer to add some files
  • create an empty file on boot partition named "ssh"
  • create a file on boot partition named "wpa_supplicant" with the following content

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="NETWORK-NAME"
    psk="NETWORK-PASSWORD"
}

• unmount microsd card and put it into raspberry pi and start
• now you have to find out the ip address the pi gets in your wifi
  • for me with nmap -sn 192.168.202.0/24
• then you can login with ssh pi@ip-address
• if you do not have a local dns in your network you can also try ssh pi@raspberrypi.local

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install radvd
$ ssh-keygen

$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

  net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

$ sudo reboot
$ sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

  static ip6_address=2001:db8::1/64

$ sudo nano /etc/radvd.conf

  interface eth0 {
     AdvSendAdvert on;
     AdvLinkMTU 1280;
     MaxRtrAdvInterval 120;
     prefix 2001:db8::/64 { };
     AdvSourceLLAddress on;
  };

$ sudo systemctl enable radvd.service
$ sudo reboot

• now we create a script called tunnel.sh

#!/bin/bash

#please do not change
VESPORT=30235
WINLAB_GATEWAY_IP="10.31.3.71"
VES_COLLECTOR_IP="10.31.3.20"

#variables: here you can change
# netconf port
NCPORT=2230
# user for winlab access
WINLAB_USER="micha"
# ip of the remote RAN device 
REMOTEIP="[2001:db8::4e50:afd7:a5c6:3d88]"


ssh -L$VESPORT:localhost:$VESPORT -R$NCPORT:$REMOTEIP:$NCPORT $WINLAB_USER@console.sb10.orbit-lab.org -t \                                                                                                        
  ssh -L$VESPORT:localhost:$VESPORT -R$NCPORT:localhost:$NCPORT -X native@10.30.1.1 -t \
  ssh -L$VESPORT:$VES_COLLECTOR_IP:$VESPORT -R$NCPORT:localhost:$NCPORT -X ubuntu@$WINLAB_GATEWAY_IP

• and make it afterwards executable with "chmod +x tunnel.sh"
• provide the generated ssh public key to a valid winlab user

cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

Example of using the PI to connect any device to OWL

The PI has the SSH tunnel pre-configured. However, the SSID and its password need to be configured.

```

ssh pi@raspberrypi.local

```
