RPi2 with no internet access after modem reboot

Postby Xinayder » Mon Jan 02, 2017 4:04 pm

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running as a server in my home. Sometimes, my internet access goes away and when it goes back I have to reboot my RPi2 because the ethernet interface has no link to the modem.

In order to fix the issue, I decided to write a script that pings my modem and router, and if one of them is turned off it'll restart the ethernet interface. I setup a timer to run it every 10 minutes, however, it's not working as expected (while the same script runs just fine in a Debian server in my home, using a cronjob). Here's the script:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/bash

MODEM_IP="192.168.1.1"
ROUTER_IP="192.168.0.1"
INTERFACE="eth0"

# Check if we are running the script as root
if [[ $(id -u) -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "Please execute this script as root."
exit 1
fi

# Ping router 5 times to check if it's up; then ping modem 5 times to check if it's up.
# If any of these "tests" fail, we restart the interface.
if [[ ! $(ping -c 5 $ROUTER_IP 2>&1 /dev/null | echo $?) -eq 0 ]] && [[ ! $(ping -c 5 $MODEM_IP 2>&1 /dev/null | echo $?) -eq 0 ]]; then
ifconfig $INTERFACE down
ifconfig $INTERFACE up
fi')

What I'd like to know is why it isn't working. Could it be the timer interval that is too big?

How are you controlling the network on the RPi2? Tools like systemd-networkd should do this automatically, no?

What do you mean with how am I controlling the network? And yeah, it should but it doesn't work, I have to reboot my RPi every time my modem reboots.

Post the output of:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'find /etc/systemd/system -mindepth 1 -type d | sed /getty.target/d | xargs ls -gG --color')

Two instances of netctl and systemd-networkd ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')wo instances of netctl and systemd-networkd ?

I don't know why I have two of them. I just know that the 'netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service' should be handling my static IP address.

...any you don't think that 3 different network daemons all trying to manage 1 device might pose a problem?

Ditch netctl and just use systemd-networkd. See the arch wiki.

How would I ditch (as in, completely disable it) netctl? I just found out that I am using netctl to assign the IP and systemd-networkd to disable DHCP.
