Hello Hoygen83,

I believe you are referring to the diagnostic mode or Telnet that are both designed for L3 support. If you want to do SSH, you will have to enable SSH on the admin page. However, I strongly suggest to continue with the support people you have contact with since they have already advised doing the assistance mode.

thank you,

we are exactly doing as you suggest.

At the moment the L3 team proposed to recover data, but we have several questions:

Why the problem showed up.

If we can trust that device and use it again.

Why it is not showing the normal interface.

I feel that if i could get to the device with ssh i could dd the data elsewere and recover them, but i just can't.

And i would like to know why that device had such behaviour before doing an eventual factory reset and restore the data.

I'll just wait for my manager to decide.

What's your case number?

To answer your questions one would need more information such as your logs.

The web admin interface depends on the management service. If the management service is offline then you won't be able to access the normal interface. So if L3 support logs on remotely (having been provided access) they would diagnose why the management service is offline and go from there.
