<p class="MsoNormal">Hallo all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thank you very much for all the contributions that you have made for NFD and NDN!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am currently working on a setup (two Ubuntu machines connected via Ethernet) to execute the NFD without IP and I am facing some problems when trying to execute the NFD using Ethernet unicast.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I configured NFD (using the configuration file) just to use ether faces for multicast communication (disabled TCP and UDP) -> and there were no problems to communicate with other NFD instances in my network. But in my scenario, I just want
to use unicast by connecting multiple NFD instances together manually. So I used the nfdc tool to create a new ether face using the address of my other system.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I started NDN using “sudo nfd start”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I try to use “nfdc face create ether://[98:de:d0:1c:d1:46]”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The nfdc tool promts the following error message: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Error 604 when creating face: unsupported protocol <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I configured the NFDs using multicast, I can see from the logs, that there were faces created in the scheme of “ether://[MULTICAST-MAC]”. It is just not working by using nfdc to add a new face for using unicast.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My machines are running Ubuntu 16.04 and I am using NFD version 0.5.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anybody give me some hints what I am missing, please? Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
