Hi Community,
We tried to used the GPRS capability of OSMOCOM.
Installation and configuration were based in the URL provided below:
https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Osmocom_Network_I…
We successfully installed the needed elements to run GPRS and we were able to run the
following:
osmo-msc
osmo-stp
osmo-hnbgw (optional)
osmo-ggsn
osmo-sgsn
osmo-mgw
osmo-bsc
osmo-trx-uhd
osmo-hlr
osmo-pcu
UE were able to camp but IP Address is unavailable (checked it under Settings > About
Phone > Status)
No session / request coming in the OSMO-SGSN.
We are also flooded with this log in OSMO-PCU:

Hi Community,
We were able to remove the error logs flooding in OSMO-PCU by upgrading to the latest
version of OSMO Elements and doing the IPV4 forwarding and masquerading ad-hoc as per
OpenGGSN documentation (“http://ftp.osmocom.org/docs/latest/osmoggsn-usermanual.pdf”).
Now, UE still not able to obtain an IP address. We made the “auth-policy accept-all” in
OSMO-SGSN to accept all request.
Below are the ifconfig and config files used for the testing.

Hi Ron,
Handing an IP address to the subscriber is done by the GGSN. For me, that was
the easy part, the hard part being to get packets sent and received through the
tunnel on the GGSN machine.
Here's what I use for osmo-ggsn.cfg and how I set up the APN:
dev="eth0"
apn="apn0"
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.42.0/24 -o $dev -j MASQUERADE
sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
sudo ip tuntap add dev $apn mode tun user $USER group $USER
sudo ip addr add 192.168.42.0/24 dev $apn
sudo ip link set $apn up
ggsn ggsn0
apn internet
tun-device apn0
type-support v4
ip dns 0 192.168.0.1
ip dns 1 9.9.9.9
ip prefix dynamic 192.168.42.0/24
no shutdown
default-apn internet
no shutdown ggsn
With this config, the apn0 tun device is set up as root, hence osmo-ggsn
doesn't need to create a tun device itself and can run as a non-privileged
user.
