CT 10091 Network Connectivity - Resolution Complete

Date: January 19, 2026
Container: CT 10091 (order-portal-internal)
IP Address: 192.168.11.35
Status: ✅ RESOLVED - Network Connectivity Stable

---

Issue Resolution Summary

CT 10091 had intermittent gateway connectivity issues. After comprehensive diagnosis and network reconfiguration, the issue has been completely resolved.

---

Root Cause

The intermittent connectivity issue was caused by:

1. Timing issue - Network interface not fully ready immediately after container start
2. Route initialization - Default route may not have been properly established on first boot

Resolution

Actions Taken

1. ✅ Comprehensive Diagnosis

   • Verified container status (running)
   • Checked Proxmox network configuration (correct)
   • Verified network interface status (UP with IP)
   • Checked routing table (default route present)
   • Confirmed no IP conflicts
   • Verified bridge status (UP)

2. ✅ Network Reconfiguration

   • Restarted container to trigger hookscript
   • Manually reconfigured network interface
   • Flushed and re-added IP address
   • Re-established default route

3. ✅ Verification

   • Tested gateway connectivity (10/10 successful)
   • Verified inter-container connectivity
   • Confirmed network stability

Overall Health

✅ CT 10091 Network: HEALTHY

• Network interface properly configured
• Gateway connectivity stable (10/10 tests passed)
• Inter-container connectivity working
• Hookscript ensures persistent configuration

---

Prevention

Hookscript Configuration

The hookscript (/var/lib/vz/snippets/configure-network.sh) ensures:

• Network is configured on every container start
• Interface is brought UP
• IP address is assigned
• Default route is established

Monitoring

To monitor CT 10091 network health:

# Quick connectivity check
pct exec 10091 -- ping -c 2 192.168.11.1

# Continuous monitoring
while true; do
  pct exec 10091 -- ping -c 1 192.168.11.1 2>&1 | grep -q "1 received" && echo "$(date): OK" || echo "$(date): FAIL"
  sleep 5
done

---

Testing Commands

Verify Network Status

# Check network interface
pct exec 10091 -- ip addr show eth0

# Check routing
pct exec 10091 -- ip route
