Bi-directional IPv6 connectivity in Codelab have only uni-directional code example (TZ-997)

[digidhamu]

I could not get the ping command to work from the BR Thread CLI when connecting to Linux or Mac IPv6 addresses. Could you please add more steps for bi-directional connectivity using the ping command? This example only covers one direction, but not from the CLI.

Hi, @digidhamu Did you ping the host address from thread BR device? If yes, I hope the explaination here: https://github.com/orgs/openthread/discussions/9688#discussioncomment-7771734 Hope it can help you a lot.

And the examples related in the docs, it shows that the topology should be like:

           Wi-Fi           Thread
(Host) <----------> (BR) <===========> (Thread CLI device)

The (Thread CLI device) device and (Host) can access from each other.

Yes. Would be great if we add this in the document with simple example

Thread CLI device works perfectly. However, BR also uses Thread CLI hence the confusion
