Phase 1.1: IP Conflict Investigation - Complete

Date: 2026-01-05
Status: ✅ INVESTIGATION COMPLETE - AWAITING OMADA QUERY

---

Investigation Summary

✅ Completed Steps

1. Physical Verification:

   • ✅ r630-04 is powered OFF
   • ✅ r630-04 runs Debian/Proxmox (confirmed)

2. Device Identification:

   • ✅ MAC Address: bc:24:11:ee:a6:ec
   • ✅ MAC Vendor: Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH
   • ✅ OS: Ubuntu (OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu0.13)
   • ✅ IP: 192.168.11.14
   • ✅ Ports: SSH (22) open, Proxmox (8006) closed

3. Container Search:

   • ✅ Searched all LXC containers on ml110, r630-01, r630-02
   • ✅ Searched all QEMU VMs on ml110, r630-01, r630-02
   • ❌ NOT FOUND in any cluster containers/VMs

4. Network Interface Check:

   • ✅ Checked network interfaces on all hosts
   • ❌ No interface found with IP 192.168.11.14

5. Omada Controller Location:

   • ✅ Found: VMID 103 on r630-02
   • ✅ IP: 192.168.11.20
   • ✅ Web Interface: https://192.168.11.20:8043
   • ✅ Status: Running and accessible

Current Status

Device Mystery

The device using 192.168.11.14 is:

• ✅ Confirmed to be responding (ping, SSH)
• ✅ Has Proxmox-generated MAC address
• ❌ NOT found in any Proxmox cluster containers
• ❌ NOT found in any Proxmox cluster VMs
• ❌ NOT found in network interfaces

This suggests:

1. Container exists but not visible in cluster (orphaned)
2. Container on a host not in cluster (r630-03, r630-04, or other)
3. Device is managed by Omada but not by Proxmox
4. Network device (switch/router interface)

---

Next Step: Query Omada Controller

Required Action

Access Omada Controller to identify the device:

1. Web Interface (Recommended):

   • URL: https://192.168.11.20:8043
   • Login with admin credentials
   • Navigate to Devices section
   • Search for IP 192.168.11.14 or MAC bc:24:11:ee:a6:ec

2. API Query (If credentials available):

   cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
   # Set credentials in ~/.env:
   # OMADA_CONTROLLER_URL=https://192.168.11.20:8043
   # OMADA_ADMIN_USERNAME=<username>
   # OMADA_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<password>
   
   node query-omada-devices.js | grep -A 10 "192.168.11.14"
   

What to Look For in Omada

1. Device Name: What is it called?
2. Device Type: Router, Switch, AP, or Client?
3. MAC Address: Does it match bc:24:11:ee:a6:ec?
4. Connection Status: Online/Offline?
5. Port Assignment: Which switch port?
6. VLAN: What VLAN is it on?

Resolution Plan (After Omada Query)

Scenario A: Container Found in Omada

Actions:

1. Identify container (VMID, host, name)
2. Stop container
3. Change container IP to different address (e.g., 192.168.11.28)
4. Restart container
5. Verify 192.168.11.14 is free
6. Power on r630-04 and configure with 192.168.11.14

Scenario B: Network Device Found in Omada

Actions:

1. Identify device type and purpose
2. Reconfigure device with different IP
3. Update network documentation
4. Reserve 192.168.11.14 for r630-04
5. Power on r630-04 and configure

Scenario C: Device Not Found in Omada

Actions:

1. Device is likely not managed by Omada
2. May be on different network segment
3. Consider network scan of entire subnet
4. Check for devices on r630-03 or r630-04 (when accessible)
5. May need to block IP at router level temporarily

Blocking Issue

Cannot proceed with IP conflict resolution until:

• Device is identified in Omada controller
• Or device is found through alternative method

Recommendation:

• Access Omada web interface at https://192.168.11.20:8043
• Query for device with IP 192.168.11.14
• Document findings
• Proceed with resolution
