How to ping Internet from RaspBerry Pi Border Router?

MSohm

Using the Border Router Quick Start Guide I've created the following setup.

  • 2 Raspberry Pis, each with their own nRF5280-DK running RaspPi_OT_Border_Router_Demo_2.0.0-1.alpha.
  • 1 nRF5280-DK running UART CLI connected to my Windows computer.

The Raspberry Pis are connected to an ethernet network that does not have IPv6.

From the UART CLI I can ping the mesh local and link local IPv6 addresses of the border routers.  - Good! 

From an ssh into the Raspberry PI I can also ping the mesh local and link local IPv^ address of the other border router.  - Also good!  

From the UART CLI, I can ping 64:ff9b::0808:0808 (Google's DNS Server) - Still good!  

From an ssh into the Raspberry PI, I cannot ping 64:ff9b::0808:0808. - Bad

How can I get to the Internet through the Thread network outside of the CLI example?

I've tried the following from within the Raspberry Pi ssh session.

Regular Ping

ping 64:ff9b::0808:0808

    I ran:

    sudo route -A inet6 add 64:ff9b::/96 dev wpan0

    But pings to 64:ff9b::0808:0808 still fail.

    As I understand the scenario, all nRF devices are routed correctly and are able to communicate through the nat64 interface, and please correct me if I am mistaken. It was not the intention to integrate the PI into the nat64, but rather to use this as a platform for the nRFs to get onto the internet. I'd recommend having a look at different forums (stackoverflow / linuxquestions or similar) and the website for NAT64: http://www.litech.org/tayga/

    Kind regards,

    I was using this test to try and trouble shoot another issue:

    ping6 -I wpan0 64:ff9b::0808:0808
    connect: Network is unreachable

    My assumption is that this ping request would go:

    PI#2 -> USB -> NCP -> Thread -> NCP -> USB -> PI1 -> Ethernet/Internet

    If  I misunderstood that flow, I'll drop this line of troubleshooting and start a new thread for that configuration.

    Thanks for the help so far.
