Some of our X440-G2 switches accessing internet

[kaare_t]

Hello,

X440-G2 switches and XMC Management. For some reason some of our X440-G2 switches are trying to access the internet. I’m sure I’ve enabled some service in the affected switches, I’m just not sure what. It’s just some of our X440-G2 switches, not all.

It looks like they are trying to establish SSL connection to *.compute.amazon.*. Our firewall is currently blocking the connections.

Does anyone have a clue? I basically would like to disable the service since our switches should not acccess internet.

Thank you both.

The ability to disable iqagent is coming in EXOS 31.1

Hi, and thanks! You are indeed correct. If I terminate the process ‘iqagent’ it stops trying to access the internet. However, I haven’t installed the iqagent .xmod, so I guess this came as part of an xos patch. I’m currently running 30.7.1.1-patch1-23. I would guess that the process starts again if the switch is rebooted, and I haven’t found a way to permanently disable/uninstall the iqagent.

Is there a way to permanently disable/uninstall this feature? Or maybe there will be a possibility in future xos?

Hi Kaare,

It is probably trying to join CloudIQ.

Check this to disable it: https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-add-an-EXOS-Switch-to-ExtremeCloud-...
