Reboot Router forcing Pogoplug(Alarm) to require reboot

[nhamnhi]

The
So I tried this and it seemed to work (at first). I was able to unplug the patch cable and reconnect it in a short time (1, 2 seconds) and it reconnected itself, but if I left it unplug like more than 4 seconds, then plug it back in, it wouldn't reconnect itself.

Is this behavior expected? I meant it'd take the router much longer then 4 seconds to reboot.

BTW the netctl-ifplugd@.service file has been there the whole time.

In re: file exists

Ah, okay. By your prior wording, I thought you had made the file by hand w/ ifplugd@eth0

[nhamnhi]

So by being disconnected from the network for more than 4 seconds causes ifplug to not reconnect (and hard reboot is required) normal?

Or am I still missing something or is something still not correct?

[WarheadsSE]

No that is not normal, imho

[nhamnhi]

So where else should I start looking Sir? Any other suggestions?

As you can see I am not an expert with this. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I ever work on Archlinux :~). Just trying to get my box to stay connected as I have data being copied constantly to it.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

One question that does come to mind: is this connected directly to the router?

[nhamnhi]

Yes Sir.

[WarheadsSE]

My wonder, @ router reboot, is if it is timing out on the DHCP request and then not re-attempting

[nhamnhi]

I may need to check to make sure dhcpd daemon is not running? Maybe it's enabled by default?

is that what you're heading to? or are you talking about the router side which dhcp is enabled for other devices

[WarheadsSE]

ifplugd might be seeing the network connection come "up" (aka, link signaling), then attempting DHCP, but that request & retry is timing out before your router is "able" to respond.
