Maintenance and System Log

• 2009-07-18: RussellSenior and Joren remove the NuCab (Joren is hauling it to FreeGeek this evening), and plugged in our first deployed AlixCab. Was also able to remove an 8-port switch that isn't needed anymore. The Alix is bridging eth1 and eth2, so the two cat5 runs to the access points terminate there. --RussellSenior

• 2008-12-10: Got another report on ops that this node is down often. The several times I've found it broken recently have been a case of a missing default route. Down/up'ing the eth0 interface usually fixes it, but it looks like a problem maybe with the upstream DHCP server, so I have reconfigured the interface as static at a high-numbered address, hoping to avoid getting stomped on by the dsl modem's DHCP server. Let's see if that fixes it. The node is accessible on the openvpn/olsr network (i.e. from other nodes with working tunnels). We have cacti graphs for this node now too, at least so long as the network isn't broken. --RussellSenior

• 2008-11-06: Got a report from Gary that the node was down. He said they had power cycled stuff, but no workie. I arrived this evening to find that the nucab didn't have an address on eth0. Not sure why that would be. I ifdown/ifup'd eth0 and restarted nocatauth and it was back to working again. --RussellSenior

• 2008-06-10: Based on a report from StefanMintier, stopped to check on the node. It looks like there were some changes to our upstream network, which confused the nucab. I made a half-hearted attempt to fix it, which failed, then I rebooted the nucab, which succeeded. All is well now. --RussellSenior

• 2008-02-29: DLink over the south door in meeting room was freaking out. only allowing about 1k of data per tcp stream. powercycled the unit and all's well. --DonPark

• 2007-06-25: This node has had an outage for a couple weeks. I only heard about it by accident. I stopped by today to check on it. It turns out the cat5 run between the nucab and the dsl modem had been disconnected during some office work. Plugged back in and everything is golden. --RussellSenior

• 2007-01-24: Fixed default redirect after splash. Removed a bit of ancient info from the node page. Can't check back into svn because it is still down. -- CalebPhillips

• 2006-12-20: Found nucab with no default route. Apparently it comes up faster than the DSL modem. Bounced the interface, better now. --RussellSenior

• 2006-06-01: Found second (window) AP unpowered. Don't know why. No lights on PoE splitter or AP.

• 2006-04-28: Installed a power jumper from the PoE splitter to the second (window) AP. Lights on. Assuming function will follow. --RussellSenior

• 2006-04-19: Held WeeklyMeeting20060419 here. We finished the install of the second AP by re-crimping a poorly crimped end. -- CalebPhillips

  • ...or nearly finished the install. Sigh. Since our last visit, the power cord that ran from the POE splitter to the AP, which had been dangling, disappeared. I plugged in one from my stumbler rig to ensure it worked, but removed it before leaving. We need another power cord, basically two standard-ish 12V coaxial barrel connectors. Also, someone needs to forward ports (22, 5280, others?) from the DSL modem to the nucab.

• 2006-03-22: Held WeeklyMeeting20060322 here. We installed the second AP with PoE injector, but gave up when the cat5e run seemed to be bad (perhaps a kink?). Decision is to return some other time to fix it, perhaps when we have a better toolset. -- CalebPhillips

• 2006-03-01: Held a weekly meeting at the LuckyLab whose agenda included fixing some outstanding issues with this node. And, some of them were actually fixed! See WeeklyMeeting20060301 for details. -- CalebPhillips

• 2006-02-23: RussellSenior responded to an outage report. The power cord supplying the nucab (on top of the beer cooler in back) had been unplugged. Replugging fixed it.

• Filling in some missing documentation. Noticed that nodeluckylab.personaltelco.net doesn't resolve internally, which fudges the portal redirect. - CalebPhillips
