Sounds similar to the problem on the 450 with bridging where an SM is registered, but you can't get to it directly nor via LUID proxy. Just had one do this yesterday. I finally figured out a few months ago that the session gets into a state where it looks like ARP is being discarded. Not sure if it's the uplink, downlink or both. But the solution is to drop the session. This would happen daily randomly across various APs with prior releases before we got MIMO-A, so it's some kind of link stability issue. I've seen this only a handful of times on FSK, but it does happen.

IIRC, the way PPPoE on the SM itself works (not in the customer's equipment), the AP sits in the middle of the PPPoE session like a relay so that things like DiffServ still function over the RF link. And this involves the RF private network, which also doesn't work when the session gets screwy because ARP for that doesn't work either.

Maybe I'm wrong and Matt's problem is another issue, but it sounds similar enough that I'd bet $ on it.

Hi Matt,

Please send engineering.cgi / cnut capture of both AP/SM(which  has problems).

Thanks,

Subject: [AFMUG] Canopy 13.4 FSK Session Bug

Have seen this occasionally Canopy 900 FSK modems with poor signal
over years.  Now seeing it on 2.4 Canopy FSK modems with 13.4.  The
modem will show in sessions on AP.  You can even run a link test on
the SM from AP.  You cannot get to the SM's management IP.  Customer
does not have service.  Power cycle SM and same thing.  Found you must
power cycle the AP and then power cycle the SM to restore service to
the customer.  Not sure if it matters but we have PPPoE and NAT
enabled in most our SM's.

Anyone else seen this?
