[SCION] SIG Configuration

[Frei Matthias]

Hi Dheeraj,


you're right, there needs to be a SIG section in the topology.json file -- this is used by the border router to resolve the SVC_SIG service address and without it I believe you should see errors in the border router's log.

I took this part out of the tutorials because we've simply added it to the configuration file by default -- unfortunately though, we've only added this for SCIONLab User ASes and not the infrastructure ASes that you are running this on now. Sorry for adding confusion. I will add a hint to the the tutorials page.


The snippet that you need to add to the topology file is:

```

  "sigs": {
    "sig-1": {
      "ctrl_addr": "<AS internal ip>:30256",
      "data_addr": "<AS internal ip>:30056"
    }
  }

```

where "<AS internal IP>" should replaced with the actual IP address of the host running the SIG.



Cheers

Matthias

Hello Cedric


Yes, I'm trying to setup a SIG between ASes 130d and 130e.

I had setup the SIG before the SCION upgrade, but not able to do it now.


I tried to give the remote IP address in sig.toml, also tried the default IP still not reachable.


- I remember previously when the SIG was working, I had defined a SIG section in topology.json file and assigning a IP address

  which basically tells the AS to run SIG on that IP address, so that the remote AS can connect

  But, I lost the topology.json file after the upgrade and I cannot seem to remember the part.

Its the same after assigning the IP addresses and adding routes.


Regards

Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj

I’ve corrected the link, the component was renamed to “posix-gateway” upstream. Thanks for letting us know.

As for the SIG operation itself, are you trying to set this up between the hosts running ASes 130e and 130d? If so, I noticed two things:

- The sig.toml uses the IP address of the remote host for connecting to the scion-daemon, and vice versa on the other host. Is the intentional?
- The sig devices have no IP address assigned

If that is not helping, or you are setting this up on completely different hosts, then kindly ignore my comments — but may I suggest putting your sig.json, sig.toml, network interface setup and routes into a gist or similar and post it here? That way somehow with more knowledge about the SIG can follow-up.

Best,
Cedric
