Summary:
This article is part of a series of topics about cnMaestro on-boarding and troubleshooting.
Please refer to other forum by clicking on Device On-boarding for a listing of all parts in this series.
cnMatrix by default communicates to cloud.cambiumnetworks.com which is designed to be completely Zero Touch operation and does not require any manual intervention. However, if the user has changed the URL or any unexpected behavior like device lost connection to cloud account or if you want to verify if it is configured properly or if he wants to better understand what’s going on.
Please follow the below suggestions provided:
Solution:
- Upgrade the switch to latest version found at support.cambiumnetworks.com
- Make sure the DNS settings are properly set through the device CLI
- For static DNS IP assignment :
- cnMatrix#show ip dns name-server
- Will display the DNS servers entered on the device
- cnMatrix#show ip dns name-server
- For static DNS IP assignment :
- For DHCP based DNS IP assignment :
- cnMatrix#show ip interface vlan <vlan_ID>
- Above command on mgmt vlan will display the name-server (DNS) details.
- cnMatrix#show ip interface vlan <vlan_ID>
- Make sure internet connectivity is established
- Show ip interface
- Will display IP address assigned for internet connectivity
- Show ip interface
- In the device CLI perform ping test to “cambiumnetworks.com” in order to make sure the DNS and Connectivity works fine.
- cnMatrix#ping cloud.cambiumnetworks.com
- cnMatrix#ping cloud.cambiumnetworks.com
Note:
Sometimes a ping may be blocked by AWS for the cloud servers. If so, try to ping to google.com or any other public web site. If this works then the DNS and Internet connectivity is established.
Below are some of the commands that we can use:
- Show cnmaestro
- Helps us to check the cloud or on-premises account details
- Show system information
- Helps us to check the current software on the switch
If the device does not get on-boarded after checking the connectivity. Please collect the below log including the device configuration and send it to the support team for debugging.
Please log a case from the below URL
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com
Debugging commands:
Enable debug on the switch before we collect the log:
- EX2028P-cambium# debug cnmaestro all
Toggle cnMaestro configuration:
- EX2028P-cambium# config terminal
- EX2028P-cambium (config)# no cnmaestro
- EX2028P-cambium (config)# cnmaestro
- EX2028P-cambium (config)# end
Disable the debug after 5-10 minutes:
- EX2028P-cambium# no debug cnmaestro
To collect the debug log, run the below output:
- EX2028P-cambium# show cnmaestro log
