How can I communicate with the nodes in whitefield outside the simulation?

I compiled the coap-server example on contiki-ng and ran it on node 1 in Whitefield Simulation.

The global ipv6 of node 1 is fd00::302:304:506:1 from the logs. I tried pinging, it says "Network Unreachable". I tried a GET request using a COAP client (libcoap2 to be specific). However, it says the same error. Am I missing something?

Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

PS: I assumed the problem could be not having a border router. So I tried to compile rpl-border-router and deploy it on node 0. However, make command fails because there's no implementation for slip-arch.c for Whitefield (slip_arch_writeb & slip_arch_init undefined reference errors).

Yes, the problem is the border router. In general, the current border router does not connect to the fallback network today using slip. This needs to be handled. I would be happy to work on this along with you if there's interest.
