Solved: Re: IOS XE on Catalyst Always-On not working

Jason Spring · ‎02-20-2025

The device doesn't seem available. Is there a Cisco resource we can reach out to in the event we see it not working?

Thanks,

@Jason Spring just tested seems ok, what is your error?

@jacalzad looks ok as of date/time show - restarting the reservation on always on sandbox does not reset the device sadly.

I have the same issue:

✗ ssh admin@devnetsandboxiosxe.cisco.com
kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by <ip_addr> port 22

From postman, I am also getting 502 errors:

<html>

<head>
<title>502 Bad Gateway</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="white">
<center>
<h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1>
</center>
<hr>
<center>nginx/1.13.12</center>
</body>

</html>

I've tried to release and restart the sandbox reservation as well..

Thanks, @bigevilbeard .

I figured it wouldn't, but just wanted to make sure. Looks like the reload fixed it:

Cat8000V#show version 
...
ROM: IOS-XE ROMMON
Cat8000V uptime is 56 minutes
Uptime for this control processor is 57 minutes
System returned to ROM by reload
System image file is "bootflash:packages.conf"
Last reload reason: reload

Thanks again for the assist!
