LoRa gateway bridge connection with Laird rg186

ChirpStack Gateway Bridge
1

HI,

I am trying to connect Laird 186 with Chirpstack.

I have installed gateway bridge on mu Linux server - the udp bind by default is 0.0.0.0:1700, and there is a problem - what should I set up on Laird as a Semtech forwarder? My internet gateway ip and open UDP port on router NAT ? Or I need to set up any other fixed IP as udp_bind and if I could get any help with that would be great.

Thanks!

Hey, I got a similar problem, did you find any solution?

The network architecture is like this:
Gateway ---GWMP--> [GWB + NS]
Whereby the [] is Chirpstack with the GateWay Bridge (GWB) and Network Server (NS) components. The GateWay Management Protocol (GWMP) is the protocol that the UDP packet forwarder uses.

So, you should enter the IP address/hostname of your server which hosts the Gateway Bridge, into your LoRa Gateway’s packet forwarder. If there are firewalls/routers between the GWB and your LoRa gateway, you may need to do some configuration to ensure that UDP hole-punching can work.
