- Able to ping the Cradlepoint LAN IP from a remote network
- Cannot ping client device(s) on the Cradlepoint LAN from a remote network
- Device(s) on the LAN have the wrong default gateway
- When a device receives traffic from an IP that is not on the same network, it will forward traffic to its default gateway IP.
- Typically, the default gateway IP is the IP address of the upstream router
- Verify the default gateway IP on the client device(s)
- Log in to the Cradlepoint UI
- Navigate to System > System Control > Device Options
- Click "Device Console"
- Use tcpdump utility to identify the client device(s) default gateway:
- tcpdump -i <interface> host <client device IP> -nn
- E.g. tcpdump -i eth0.2 host 1.2.3.4 -nn
- Ping the client device from a device on a remote network
- Investigate tcpdump output:
- tcpdump should show traffic leaving the Cradlepoint and ARP requests from the client device for its default gateway IP. For example:
-

- Configure correct default gateway on client device(s)
- Log into client device(s) and set the default gateway to the Cradlepoint's LAN interface IP
