Routing Configuration for Clusterbox

Mixtile Blade 3 (Mixtile Cluster Box)
#1

Good morning

I am trying to configure the Blade3 routing to allow them to use the ClusterBox internet connection.

In the afternoon I independently configured the interfaces, in particular the eth_pci, unfortunately I was struggling with the simultaneous configuration of a static IP address for the wan interface, result: I almost could not connect to the ClusterBox dashboard to restore the original settings.

I am looking for a comprehensive user manual.

I wonder if it is always possible to connect to the ClusterBox console via USB?
How can I complete the routing procedure without running risks?

Thank you

Dis/connection problem: "Queue is full."

Hello Marco,

Please try to reset the Cluster Box by following this instructions: Resetting to Factory Settings | Mixtile

You can get the manual of ClusterBox from the Mixtile website here: Basic Cluster Box Operations and Commands | Mixtile

It is not possible to connect ClusterBox console via USB, but you could connect ClusterBox console via UART port on PCBA board. Please refer to the file here for instructions.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Hi Bobby.

The factory reset seems to have failed. In fact the rapid flashing never ended and the ClusterBox was manually rebooted. I wanted to restore the settings due to an apparent malfunction that I attributed to an ipk update that I thought was causing problems.

I would like to take advantage of you to understand if it is normal default setting of the eth-pci network not being able to reach the other nodes for example via ssh? in fact I can only connect each Blade3 with the next one (N1 to N2, N2 to N3, N3 to N4), while from the ClusterBox console I can reach them all. Perhaps then it would be necessary to use a particular routing? Or in fact this is much easier to solve?

Thanks

As for the failure to restore factory Settings, I can’t tell what the problem is according to your description; If you have anydesk or some other remote software I can look at it for you, it would be better if you had a serial port tool to connect to clusterbox

Thank you so far.

Connecting the UART adapter, via USB what situation do I find? Can you kindly remind me which software to use and which procedure to follow? What I am looking for is obviously a firmware recovery.

I can’t really use the USB C port on the back, right? Not even with ADB or Upgrade_tool? Please, will it have a future use?

Regarding the problem described above maybe i found a solution:
