Hi

I'm trying out openGGSN, currently running it on an Ubuntu 16.04 VM in Amazon. The reason I'm doing this is part of an evaluation I'm helping out with for a customer in the Telco-industry.

I have been able to install, and run ggsn and sgsnemu to the point of sending the ECHO and creating the PDP-C (see attachment). 

However, I can't see that a network interface is created after the PDP-C has been accepted. According to the README on https://github.com/osmobuntu/openggsn that should happen:
"After this it will attempt to establish a pdp
context. If successful it will create a local interface and set up
routing."

Anyway, I have probably missed something in the setup. If you have any suggestions, that would be highly appreciated!

What I did so far is:

Install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openggsn

Create "virtual" interfaces (since I'm running everything on the same machine. Not sure if this is the right way to do it though)
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up


I also did the following steps, but I'm not sure exactly what they do... pardon my ignorance!
1. Add the following line to /etc/modules.conf: alias char-major-10-200 tun 
2. depmod -a

Start GGSN
ggsn -c ggsn.conf --fg -l 192.168.1.2 --net 192.168.0.0/24 --dynip 192.168.0.0/24

After this I can see the new tun0
tun0: flags=81<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING>  mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  destination 192.168.0.1 inet6 fe80::9ea3:6876:c4ce:fc96  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link> unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  txqueuelen 500  (UNSPEC) RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0 TX packets 7  bytes 448 (448.0 B) TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0


send ECHO (successfully)
sgsnemu --listen 192.168.1.3 --remote 192.168.1.2 --dns 10.20.38.51 --timelimit 10 --contexts 0


Send ECHO + Create PDP-C
sgsnemu --listen 192.168.1.3 --remote 192.168.1.2 --dns 10.20.38.51 --timelimit 10 --contexts 1 --apn internet --imsi 240011234567890 --msisdn 46702123456 --createif --defaultroute


Which outputs the following:
Using DNS server:      10.20.38.51 (10.20.38.51)
Local IP address is:   192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3)
Remote IP address is:  192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)
IMSI is:               240011234567890 (0xf098765432110042)
Using NSAPI:           0
Using GTP version:     1
Using APN:             internet
Using selection mode:  1
Using MSISDN:          46702123456

Initialising GTP library
<000c> gtp.c:700 GTP: gtp_newgsn() started


After printing this line, sgsnemu stays very silent for 30-ish seconds, after which it prints (all in one go):

Setting up interface

Sending off echo request
Setting up PDP context #0
Waiting for response from ggsn........

Where 10.7.0.240 is the ip address of eth0

Once again, if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears! Thanks in advance!
