Dibbler-Server setup in IPv6 Simulator

Step 1: Install dibbler server on host device ( sudo apt install dibbler-server )

Step 2: Configure server.conf file, replace iface name with your device usb-ethernet iface name.

/etc/dibbler/server.conf 

iface "enp0s31f6" {
 class {
   pool 2001:db8:1111::/64
 }
 pd-class {
    pd-pool 2601:9c0:d00:1170::/60
    pd-length 60
 }
 option dns-server 2001:4860:4860::8888,2000::ff,2000::fe

}

Step 3: Connect host machine to any available mobile hotspot, check your WiFi interface is getting IPv6 addr and able to do ping6.
Step 4: Add nat rule and IPv6 addr for usb to ethernet interface

sudo /sbin/ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlp2s0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo ip addr add 2001:db8:1111:0:d786:cc43:fe52:26e1/64 dev <interface name of usb-to-ethernet>

Step 5: Run dibbler-server on host machine, if success, able to see accepting connections.

Lan Clients

Connected clients got IPv6 addr and able to perform ping6. Test ipv6 (https://test-ipv6.com) from browser passed.

Considerations

  • Currently SLAAC won't work
  • In RDKB GW, Dibbler-client should get IPv6 global address from upstream Dibbler-server
  • Subsequently client-notify.sh notifies PandM component to invoke Dibbler-server for brlan0
