I have a FWA510 connected to 5G and see every 30 seconds a few DALCMD: messages in the log. Searching doesn't reveal any information about this messages, so what do these messages mean?

5 Dec 21 12:11:29 user notice cellwan DALCMD:
6 Dec 21 12:11:29 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to parameter name shared memory
7 Dec 21 12:11:29 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to object name shared memory
8 Dec 21 12:11:29 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to schema shared memory
9 Dec 21 12:10:59 user notice cellwan DALCMD:
10 Dec 21 12:10:59 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to parameter name shared memory
11 Dec 21 12:10:59 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to object name shared memory
12 Dec 21 12:10:59 user notice cellwan DALCMD: Attached to schema shared memory

    Hi @EdbO

    The syslog entries you mentioned are notice-level logs, which do not affect the service or functionality of your device.

    The specific logs are as follows:

    • user.notice DALCMD: Attached to parameter name shared memory
    • user.notice DALCMD: Attached to object name shared memory
    • user.notice DALCMD: Attached to schema shared memory

    These logs indicate that the CPE's configuration has been initialized and is ready. They are primarily intended for debugging or troubleshooting purposes and do not signify any issues with normal operation.

    If you’re experiencing any functional issues with your device or have further concerns about these logs, please feel free to let us know. We’re here to help!

    Sorry for the late response, but there is something more going on. The messages above hide another problem.

    I'm running the FWA510 in bridge mode (Cellular IP passthrough) which works correctly. My router get's the ip address from my 5G provider and I can browse the internet perfectly.

    However, my provider gives me every day a new ip address which is not a problem. BUT the FWA510 sends every 10 minutes a dnsmasq-dhcp message with the same ip address. And is seems the FWA510 is interrupting the connection just slightly, but it confuses my VOIP system and breaks the connection.

    The message I'm seeing every 10 minutes:

    dnsmasq-dhcp: sendLeaseMessageToESMD send to esmd buf = {\"ac\":\"add\",\"expire\":\"857111\",\"mac\":\"xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx\",\"ip\":\"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\",\"host\":\"router\",\"vendor\":\"*\",\"moui\":\"*\",\"serial\":\"*\",\"pclass\":\"*\",\"cid\":\"xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx\",\"ifname\":\"eth0\"}

    I don't understand why these messages are send when nothing has changed. I also got that far that I switched off DHCP completely in the FWA510, but these messages are coming.

    Am I missing something?

    Hi @EdbO

    The dnsmasq-dhcp messages in the logs are generated by dnsmasq, reflecting the status of DHCP-related operations. Since you've enabled the Cellular IP Passthrough feature, this allows the public IP address to be directly assigned to a specific LAN device. All traffic is forwarded directly to that device, bypassing the FWA510's NAT functionality. As a result, this issue does not seem to be related to the DHCP function on the FWA510 itself.

    Based on your description, the problem appears to occur specifically when using the VoIP service, causing a disconnection. To investigate further, could you please provide the following details via private message?

    1. The firmware version of your FWA510.
    2. A complete screenshot of the logs at the time of the disconnection (occurring every 10 minutes). This will help us verify if the same LAN device is involved and whether it is requesting a new IP via DHCP.
    3. Confirmation on whether the connection operates normally when the VoIP system is not in use.
    4. Remote access to your device's web configurator. We’ll provide further instructions for setting up the remote access session via private message.

    Thank you for your cooperation!
