Troubleshooting

• Error Messages

<Identify the error messages that a user may receive and the likely cause(s) and/or possible corrective actions for the error>

• Special Considerations

...

System commands plugin:

  It allows executing of low level actions on the system.It is supporting USBRESET functionality,means USB device can be reset using USBFS_RESET ioctl command.

we have to pass the dev path as part of params usually in RPI it should be there in /dev/bus/usb/

By using lsusb it will list the connected usb:

root@raspberrypi-rdk-hybrid-thunder:~# lsusb

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05e3:0751

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:7800

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03f0:0024

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2514

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

By using the JSON RPC we can able to do reset the usb device.Your jason rpc looks like below

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1234567890, "method": "SystemCommands.1.usbreset", "params": {"device": "/dev/bus/usb/001/006"} }' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://$ip/jsonrpc

DHCP SERVER PLUGINS:

A DHCP Server is a network server that automatically provides and assigns IP addresses, default gateways and other network parameters to client devices.

By using the DHCP server plugin we can activate and deactivate the server by using the following jason commands

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1234567890, "method": "DHCPServer.1.activate", "params": { "interface": "eth0" }}' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://$IP/jsonrpc

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1234567890, "method": "DHCPServer.1.deactivate", "params": { "interface": "eth0" }}' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://SIP/jsonrpc

It also allows Provides access to the server status. By using below command we can get the server status details

 curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1234567890, "method": "DHCPServer.1.status@eth0" }' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://SIP/jsonrpc
