Setup an IoT gateway based on Linux

  • difficulty: low
  • complexity: mid

Description

The objective of this exercise is to setup a simple IoT Linux gateway, that will interconnect sensor nodes, e.g. running RIOT-OS, with other (wired) local networks or even up to the global Internet. This requires to announce a routable IPv6 prefix and forward data between different network domains, i.e., from wireless IEEE 802.15.4 to wired ethernet.

Instructions

  1. Setup an IoT enabled Linux host with LoWPAN interface, see previous task 1.
  2. Build and install RADVD, use the linux-wpan fork and branch 6lowpan 2.
  3. Configure RADVD to announce a ULA prefix on the LoWPAN interface 3.
  4. Setup and start a RIOT node that can answer ICMPv6 ping requests.
  5. Send several pings to the RIOT node on its ULA IPv6 address.

Document all your actions and findings.
