Just putting in a +1 here. I’ve been doing the processes of power cycling my DC to get things working again. But I also have a ubiquiti cloud gateway ultra and I see multiple sometimes hundreds of MAC’s on the same port as the DC. This also seems to cause my primary internet provider to go offline and my router flips over to my backup internet. Restarting my primary internet modem will bring things back online until it happens again. During normal operation my Yarbo is connected to HaLow and I see two mac addresses on the port that the DC is plugged into. I’ve reserved IPs for these MACs and when everything is working they seem to be using those MACs. When it doesn’t seem to be working I see one of the two MACs but the other one is no longer on the port instead I have a bunch of random MACs.
fyi i recently updated the DCs firmware to version 3.12.0 but still having the issue.
Please get a ticket opened if you haven’t already, so it can be documented for Yarbo. Drop the ticket number here for reference. I think you mean the core firmware was updated? There hasn’t been a DC update for a really long time. That is v1.0.25 for most.
Put the DC on smart plug and schedule a reboot. This bug has been discussed, documented, and acknowledged for at least a year and no fix has been offered. Only a DC reset will resolve. It will bring down my entire internal network once a month without a restart. Unacceptable.
My Theory: One of DC VMs crashes gets stuck a reboot loop and starts generating virtual mac address by the handful, the router tries to dish out IP addresses to all of them until it exhausts the available pool, HaLow fails and Yarbo resorts to 4G. All sorts of internal network issues follow if you don’t have the DC on it’s own network. All of this is resolved by a DC reboot.
Yarbo provides a POE (power over Ethernet) power injector which basically adds power to the Ethernet cable that connects to Yarbo’s Data Center.
POE is an industry standard, so I chose to not use their power injector and instead my DC is directly connected to a 24 port Ethernet switch that can provide POE power to compatible downstream devices.
So my network switch is powering Yarbo’s Data Center. I can log into the switch and see how much power the DC is using, and I can also reboot the DC by turning the power to that specific Ethernet port off, then back on.
It gives me a bit more control and oversight over the Data Center, and eliminates a point of failure (the power injector).
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you’d like more clarity. More than happy to help.
Same here - didn’t realize until recently what was creating the 10,000 or so MAC addresses appearing on my network. It is in fact the Data Center. Curious it seems to be creating new MAC addresses over and over - seems like a major issue. I’m using Unifi like a few others on this thread.
I opened a ticket also and referenced this thread.
Have you tried restricting the mac on that port to the physical one that belongs to the datacenter? That way it will not make a million connections like that.
