Hi Sandeepa,

Your internet probably works.  The location of the repo has changed and you will need to copy the attached file into /etc/yum.repos.d/.  This is mentioned in the following URL:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2013-November/007089.html

You might also need to set the date correctly for the aarch64 simulator.  If the date is way off, yum might not like that.
