Dear Cloudlab Admins,

I set up an experiment, and one of the nodes (er008) has an experiment port that is not working.
Cannot ping from, or to, that node over the experiment network.
I tried reboot and reimaging the node, but did not help.

I will look into this for you.  It looks like the node-end and switch-end connections are intact, though I'll try reseating the cable on both ends.  If that doesn't work, do I have your permission to do a full AC power cycle of the node?

Best,

Looks like this did the trick, I can ping other nodes over that interface.  Let me know if you have any further problems.

Best,
 - Aleks
