EIB/KNX configuration

[Marie.O]

not the device template, but the bcusdk version, ie.

dpkg -l | grep eib

Hmm, that looks good, and identical to my packages.

Did you follow the wiki, specifically these two paragraphs:

Add a multicast route: route add 224.0.23.12 dev eth0 (eth0 is the network the KNX/IP interface is connected to
Start eibd with /usr/bin/eibd -D -T -R -S -i -u --daemon=/var/log/eibd.log ipt:10.1.2.179 (10.1.2.179 is the IP address of the KNX/IP interface

I did add the group address later as well, but first make sure the above is working

[girlaldo]

I always get Segmentation fault

[Marie.O]

The route should be to the network where you KNX/IP device is, ie. eth1 in your case.

[girlaldo]

eth0 is connected to the external network where 224.0.23.12 is, while eth1 is connected to my internal network where the subnet 192.168.80.0 is.
I can't ping 224.0.23.12 but I think nobody can while I can ping google dns
aldo@dcerouter:~$ ping 8.8.8.8

[Marie.O]

The route is a broadcast route that is needed for KNX/IP to work.

[girlaldo]

I can't understand why 224.0.23.12 should be searched inside my network.
Anyway I changed the routing table and I restarted eibd but the result was the same:
Segmentation fault

aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo route delete 224.0.23.12 dev eth0
aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo route add 224.0.23.12 dev eth1

[Marie.O]

Does the logfile  /var/log/eibd.log  show anything of interest?

[Marie.O]

Oh, one more thing: execute eibd as root, ie. sudo eibd...

[girlaldo]

If I run it as root it doesn't reply nothing but the process does not run

aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo /usr/bin/eibd --no-tunnel-client-queuing -D -T -R -S -i -u --eibaddr=1.1.255 --daemon=/var/log/eibd.log ipt:192.168.80.137

[Marie.O]

I am really a bit at a loss here. Could you, just for giggles, please change your GA to 0.0.1, please, and see if that does make a difference. And please continue to run eibd via sudo, or as root.

[girlaldo]

I did the change of eibaddr to 0.0.1 but nothing changed as a result.
The eib address from ETS4 of my IP interface is 1.1.255 (if as eibaddr is meant the knx address of the IPS/S2.1 IP Interface,MDRC device that let me to connect to knx network with ETS4).
You have been so kind and you spent a lot of time trying helping me.
I'll buy you a coffee anyway and as last thing I 'd like you to do for me is to put a post reply when a new " lmce 14.04 i386 iso " file completed with eibd package will be ready and working.
Thank you so much

[Marie.O]

It is not about the coffee.

It is about getting something working that usually works very straight forward. Let's get the stuff one by one:

* eibd must be run as root ie. sudo
* The --eib-address is not the address of the target KNX/IP gate, but our own
* run without --daemon= so you might be able to see additional notes
* remove one parameter after the other, until you get it to at least run

If outside ssh access is possible, let me know, and I'll get you a public key to put on your system, and maybe come into Freenode #linuxmce chat - I'm connected 24/7 but will be at the keyboard around 10 am CET

[girlaldo]

GOOD NEWS:
I did the installation again starting from LMCE-1404-20161119175532-i386.iso and I realized that probably I didn't fill in the right place the 2195 core profile. In fact it isn't immediately so clear where to put it (at least for a newbie).
So I finally I managed to get the eibd running.
But new problems are coming. here they are
What are they?
