Route 10 shows disconnected. Internet is working

Route 10 has been working fine on the network for about a month since it was deployed in our office. Today I noticed it showed disconnected. Internet was working fine. The reboot button did not power cycle as it was disconnected from the cloud controller. Only a hard power cycle brought it back online to the cloud controller.

Question. Is this a known bug? Several of our other sites, we recently deployed, does not have this issue yet. This is our own internal office setup. Our office setup is an ATT modem in passthrough mode. I noticed nothing has changed on the ATT modem.

If this is a known issue, then we will have to make mandatory, some sort of power management to all sites to power cycle the Route10.

Thanks!

It is not a known issue, so please consider enabling SSH for local shell access even when the controller connection cannot be established. This will enable you to confirm that everything is resolvable, such as nslookup ping.alta.inc and pinging that domain to confirm that those healthchecks are still functioning. You will also find logs at /var/log/messages* which may elucidate any potential problems.

I setup the SSH key. Logged in.

What is the command to look at the logs?
What is the command for nslookup ping.alta.inc?

I have not used Putty for a long time. I am assuming EXIT is a safe command to disconnect the SSH session?

It’s a basic busybox shell. You can try cat and less for logs, the logs convenience command, or scp them off the unit to some more convenient place to browse them with your favorite text editor or log viewer. nslookup is the command for domain resolution.

Please understand that some of us do not know busybox, use Putty, Linux, etc. I stated the router had an issue disconnecting and you recommended adding the SSH key for local shell access. I would appreciate it in the future if you can provide more detail on what I should be looking for, how I should execute the commands, and report back to you so that we understand why there was a disconnect issue.

If the forum, is not a good location for this, then I can call or chat directly with tech support.

Thank you.

Out of curiosity, are you being issued a dynamic or static block of IP’s by AT&T?

Now I’m curious. I’m on ATT and found my Alta switch and both APs in a disconnected state on Sunday morning. Clients were still working.

Power cycle brought everything back up.

Same issue is here: Route 10 shows disconnected in cloud controller - #8 by mentalinc

@Alta-Josh refer to my work around in the above related to DNS failure and editing
/etc/resolv.conf

Dynamic. I logged back into the modem and everything is the way I set it. Packet filters disabled, Firewall advanced settings everything off. Nothing has changed on the modem.

FWIW

Currently away on business, but can check the lab upon my arrival later this evening,

Not sure if you have anything else connected to your BGW. I as well adjusted my gateway DHCP block on my BGW to:

172.x.x.x /30

I’d confirm your ATT’s gateway is not in the same subnet as your Route10, but I’m sure you’ve got that covered.

I can confirm no issues on my end. All devices are showing online and operational.
