C6300 Error CheckDmgProvision dmg_provisioning process is not running, need to restart.
I've been having an issue for a few weeks where my C6300 will restart due to the following error:
CheckDmgProvision dmg_provisioning process is not running, need to restart.
It seems this...
Did anyone ever figure this out? This happens to my modem 1-2 times a day and it's getting aggravating.
Who is your cable provider?
This is happening once a day for me. My cable provider is comcast.
Just before this error causes my modem to reboot, There is always an icmp flood attack. In this case, it is coming from comcast's equipment. There is something on a ipv6 link-local address with the modem (comcast) that sends apparently 3 packets (or 3 icmp floods, however many that is) to the ipv6 all routers multicast address. My C6300 detects whatever traffic this is as a DOS attack. Shortly after, the modem reboots because this process isn't running. The ipv6 multicast traffic coming from comcast may be perfectly normal routing protocol traffic that needs to make it to my modem.
