Troubleshooting Check-in Issues

Scope

This article covers steps you can take if your DNA is not checking in.

Troubleshooting steps:

  • Check for a public/private IP on the WAN. Private IPs on the WAN port of upstream routers not in bridge mode can cause check-in issues.
  • Verify whether any machine connected to one of the DNA's LAN ports can send outbound pings. Can any WiFi connected devices ping outbound?
  • Move the DNA in front of the firewall.
  • Move the cable from the Primary WAN (usually Port 1) to the secondary WAN.
  • Plug a PC directly into a LAN port on the DNA and ping the following to isolate DNS trouble:
    • ping 8.8.8.8
    • ping google.com
  • Power cycle the DNA.
  • Unplug all WAN ports from the DNA to attempt a check in via 4G failover.
  • Perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the top pinhole for 15 seconds or until the device beeps and blinks all lights at the same time.
