Determine link assert remotely

Community Playground General Discussions

Hi. I have a device that is connected the “LAN” side of my Vera3. I’m not physically at my Vera3. The LAN device has stopped responding. Given that I know which port the device is plugged into (on br-lan), is there any way to determine remotely if link is being asserted by the device?

thanks.

The swconfig command might show this. It does on my OpenWrt router (different hardware to Vera3, so the word after dev may differ):

# swconfig dev rtl8366rb port 0 show | grep link link: port:0 link:up speed:100baseT full-duplex txflow rxflow

Edit: another thread suggests you write eth0 instead of rtl8366rb. Give it a try.

Thanks! that appears to have given me information!

Port 0:
link: port:0 link:down
pvid: 0
Port 1:
link: port:1 link:up speed:100baseT full-duplex auto
pvid: 2
Port 2:
link: port:2 link:down
pvid: 1
Port 3:
link: port:3 link:down
pvid: 1
Port 4:
link: port:4 link:down
