1. Introduction to Open5GS
Welcome! If you want to set up your first Open5GS core you have come to the right place. Before we get started, we’ll spend a moment
to understand the basic architecture of the software.

TL;DR: Open5GS contains a series of software components and network functions that implement the 4G/ 5G NSA and 5G SA core functions. If
you know what each of these do already and how they interface with each other, skip to section 2.

[Higher quality PDF diagram available HERE]

4G/ 5G NSA Core

The Open5GS 4G/ 5G NSA Core contains the following components:

• MME - Mobility Management Entity

• HSS - Home Subscriber Server
• PCRF - Policy and Charging Rules Function
• SGWC - Serving Gateway Control Plane
• SGWU - Serving Gateway User Plane
• PGWC/SMF - Packet Gateway Control Plane / (component contained in Open5GS SMF)
• PGWU/UPF - Packet Gateway User Plane / (component contained in Open5GS UPF)

Quickstart | Open5GS https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/01-quickstart/

The core has two main planes: the control plane and the user plane. These are physically separated in Open5GS as CUPS (control/ user
plane separation) is implemented.

The MME is the main control plane hub of the core. It primarily manages sessions, mobility, paging and bearers. It links to the HSS,
which generates SIM authentication vectors and holds the subscriber profile; and also to the SGWC and PGWC/SMF, which are the
control planes of the gateway servers. All the eNBs in the mobile network (4G basestations) connect to the MME. The final element of
the control plane is the PCRF, which sits in-between the PGWC/SMF and the HSS, and handles charging and enforces subscriber policies.

The user plane carries user data packets between the eNB/ NSA gNB (5G NSA basestations) and the external WAN. The two user plane
core components are the SGWU and PGWU/UPF. Each of these connect back to their control plane counterparts. eNBs/ NSA gNBs
connect to the SGWU, which connects to the PGWU/UPF, and on to the WAN. By having the control and user planes physically separated
like this, it means you can deploy multiple user plane servers in the field (eg somewhere with a high speed Internet connection), whilst
keeping control functionality centralised. This enables support of MEC use cases, for example.

All of these Open5GS components have config files. Each config file contains the component’s IP bind addresses/ local Interface names
and the IP addresses/ DNS names of the other components it needs to connect to. We’ll come back to this in Section 3.

5G SA Core
The Open5GS 5G SA Core contains the following functions:

• NRF - NF Repository Function

• SCP - Service Communication Proxy
• SEPP - Security Edge Protection Proxy
• AMF - Access and Mobility Management Function
• SMF - Session Management Function
• UPF - User Plane Function
• AUSF - Authentication Server Function
• UDM - Unified Data Management
• UDR - Unified Data Repository
• PCF - Policy and Charging Function
• NSSF - Network Slice Selection Function
• BSF - Binding Support Function

The 5G SA core works in a different way to the 4G core - it uses a Service Based Architecture (SBA). Control plane functions are
configured to register with the NRF, and the NRF then helps them discover the other core functions. Running through the other
functions: The AMF handles connection and mobility management; a subset of what the 4G MME is tasked with. gNBs (5G basestations)
connect to the AMF. The UDM, AUSF and UDR carry out similar operations as the 4G HSS, generating SIM authentication vectors and
holding the subscriber profile. Session management is all handled by the SMF (previously the responsibility of the 4G MME/ SGWC/
PGWC). The NSSF provides a way to select the network slice, and PCF is used for charging and enforcing subscriber policies, and SEPP is
part of the roaming security architecture. Finally there is the SCP that enable indirect communication.

The 5G SA core user plane is much simpler, as it only contains a single function. The UPF carries user data packets between the gNB and
the external WAN. It connects back to the SMF too.

With the exception of the SMF and UPF, all config files for the 5G SA core functions only contain the function’s IP bind addresses/ local
Interface names and the IP address/ DNS name of the NRF.

2. Install Open5GS with a Package Manager

Note: Package managers can be used to install Open5GS in Debian/Ubuntu and openSUSE environments (for major and minor builds). CentOS,
Fedora, and Mac OSX require you to build with source code.

Note: Nighly builds are offered by Osmocom on OBS. Scroll down to use a nightly build package.

Getting MongoDB

Import the public key used by the package management system.

openSUSE
Martin Hauke packaged Open5GS for openSUSE on OBS.

$ sudo zypper addrepo -f obs://home:mnhauke:open5gs home:mnhauke:open5gs

$ sudo zypper install mongodb-server mongodb-shell
$ sudo zypper install open5gs

3. Install the WebUI of Open5GS

The WebUI allows you to interactively edit subscriber data. While it is not essential to use this, it makes things easier when you are just
starting out on your Open5GS adventure. (A command line tool is available for advanced users).

Node.js is required to install the WebUI of Open5GS

1. Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions can install Node.js as follows:

# Download and import the Nodesource GPG key

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/
nodesource.gpg

# Create deb repository

$ NODE_MAJOR=20
$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro
main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

# Run Update and Install

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs -y

2. To install Node.js on openSUSE, run the following:

$ sudo zypper install nodejs8

You can now install WebUI of Open5GS.

4. Configure Open5GS
Okay - you have installed the software, now what to do with it? Well, there are some tweaks you will need to make to the config files,
and you will need to enter subscriber data into your HSS/ UDR. You will also need to set some IP Table rules to bridge the PGWU/UPF to
the WAN.

Out of the box, the default configurations see all of the Open5GS components fully configured for use on a single computer. They are
set to communicate with each other using the local loopback address space (127.0.0.X). The default addresses for each of the bind
interfaces for these components and functions are as follows:

MongoDB = 127.0.0.1 (subscriber data) - http://localhost:9999

MME-s1ap = 127.0.0.2 :36412 for S1-MME

UPF-pfcp = 127.0.0.7 :8805 for N4 (Sxb)

UPF-gtpu = 127.0.0.7 :2152 for S5u, N3, N4u (Sxu)

HSS-frDi = 127.0.0.8 :3868 for S6a, Cx

PCRF-frDi = 127.0.0.9 :3868 for Gx

UDR-sbi = 127.0.0.20:7777 for 5G SBI

Setup a 4G/ 5G NSA Core

You will need to modify your 4G MME config to support your PLMN and TAC. The international test PLMN is 001/01, and the
international private network PLMN is 999/99. You should stick to using either of these PLMNs unless you have been issued a PLMN by
your national regulator. (This PLMN will need to be configured in your eNB).

If you are aiming to connect an external eNB to your core, you will also need to change the S1AP bind address of the MME and the
GTP-U bind address of the SGWU. If you are running an eNB stack locally, you will not need to make these changes.

Modify /etc/open5gs/mme.yaml to set the S1AP IP address, PLMN ID, and TAC.

Setup a 5G Core
You will need to modify the PLMN in your NRF and AMF config, and in case of AMF, further modify the TAC information. The
international test PLMN is 001/01, and the international private network PLMN is 999/99. You should stick to using either of these

Configure logging
The Open5GS components log to /var/log/open5gs/*.log and to stderr by default.

Avoid duplicate timestamps in journalctl

Open5GS adds timestamps to each log line in the log file, and on stderr. If you run Open5GS with systemd and prefer looking at the
logs with journalctl, then each line will have two timestamps. To fix this, disable the timestamp for stderr with the following
configuration change:

Register Subscriber Information

Connect to http://localhost:9999 and login with admin account.

Username : admin
Password : 1423

Tip: You can change the password in Account Menu.

To add subscriber information, you can do WebUI operations in the following order:

1. Go to Subscriber Menu.
2. Click + Button to add a new subscriber.
3. Fill the IMSI, security context(K, OPc, AMF), and APN of the subscriber.
4. Click SAVE Button

Enter the subscriber details of your SIM cards using this tool, to save the subscriber profile in the HSS and UDR MongoDB database
backend. If you are using test SIMs, the details are normally printed on the card.

Quickstart | Open5GS https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/01-quickstart/

Note: Subscribers added with this tool immediately register in the Open5GS HSS/UDR without the need to restart any daemon. However, if you
use the WebUI to change subscriber profile, you must restart the Open5GS AMF/MME daemon for the changes to take effect.

Adding a route for the UE to have WAN connectivity

In order to bridge between the PGWU/UPF and WAN (Internet), you must enable IP forwarding and add a NAT rule to your IP Tables.

To enable forwarding and add the NAT rule, enter

### Enable IPv4/IPv6 Forwarding

$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
$ sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

### Add NAT Rule

$ sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.45.0.0/16 ! -o ogstun -j MASQUERADE
$ sudo ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 2001:db8:cafe::/48 ! -o ogstun -j MASQUERADE

Configure the firewall correctly. Some operating systems (Ubuntu) by default enable firewall rules to block traffic.

$ sudo ufw status

Status: active
$ sudo ufw disable
Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
$ sudo ufw status
Status: inactive

Optionally, you may consider the settings below for security purposes.

### Ensure that the packets in the `INPUT` chain to the `ogstun` interface are accepted
$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -i ogstun -j ACCEPT

### Prevent UE's from connecting to the host on which UPF is running
$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -s 10.45.0.0/16 -j DROP
$ sudo ip6tables -I INPUT -s 2001:db8:cafe::/48 -j DROP

### If your core network runs over multiple hosts, you probably want to block
### UE originating traffic from accessing other network functions.
### Replace x.x.x.x/y with the VNFs IP/subnet
$ sudo iptables -I FORWARD -s 10.45.0.0/16 -d x.x.x.x/y -j DROP

5. Turn on your eNB/gNB and UE

First, connect your eNB/gNB to the Open5GS core:

• Make sure the PLMN and TAC of the eNB/gNB matches the settings in your MME/AMF
• Connect your eNB/gNB to the IP of your server via the standard S1AP/NGAP SCTP port 36412/38412 (for MME/AMF)
• Your eNB/gNB should report a successful S1/NG connection - congrats, your core is fully working!
• You can see actual traffic through wireshark – [srsenb.pcapng].
• You can view the log at /var/log/open5gs/*.log, eg:

### Watch the live MME log

tail -f /var/log/open5gs/mme.log

Next, try to attach a UE to the basestation:

• Insert your SIM card to the UE

• Set the UE’s APN to match the APN you configured in the Open5GS WebUI
• Toggle the UE in and out of flight mode
• If it doesn’t automatically connect, try manually searching for a network
• If the PLMN set on the SIM card does not match the PLMN being used by the radio, you will need to ensure ‘data roaming’ on the
UE is switched on
