update-anman failing

I am looking for any help in resolving this error.  Initially, I was able to run this and set up my antsle, however, now the system is not providing the "heart beat" to the anthill server and I cannot access "myantse.local" via the browser.

I have also followed these steps provided by antsle support:

It sounds like the ethernet names are not correct. This was an issue with our first XD's.

First lets remove the files in /etc/init.d/ for the interfaces

cd /etc/init.d    
rm net.enp5s0f0
rm net.enp5s0f1
rm net.enp5s0f2
rm net.enp5s0f3

and create the new links

ln -s net.lo net.eno1
ln -s net.lo net.eno2
ln -s net.lo net.eno3
ln -s net.lo net.eno4

reboot and test.

The following is now what I receive (same as before)

Does anyone have any suggestions?  As of right now, my antsle is completely useless.

Thanks,

I did some additional research and it appears that the processes cannot access the physical network device on:

net.enp5s0f0

So, I linked this to net.lo with "ln -s net.lo net.epn5s0f0" which did not work.  I am shutting the machine down now and will reboot it from a power-off state.

This problem is solved...I believe.

I continued digging until I found the daemon that connects the "anthill" site to my local antsle device as I needed the "anthilld" to be running to get the https://anthill.antsle.com site to reconfigure my anstle device.  I am still not sure why net.br0 would not work.

When I was able to get passed the login authentication check on anthill.antsle.com site, I could reconfigure my settings.  I tried to simply leave the settings the way they were, but that did not solve the problem.  I had to do it a second time and set the IP address, mask, etc. values to get it to work.  Will have to see if I now go back to my default DHCP automatic settings if everything will work again....

The command to start the deamon "anthilld" is:

start-stop-daemon --background --start --exec /usr/local/bin/anthilld --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/anthilld.pid --stdout /tmp/anthilld.out --stderr /tmp/anthilld.err

I found it in the startup file "/etc/init.d/anthilld" file.

To make a long story shorter...all I needed to do was get past the login authentication screen on the anthill.antsle.com site in order to reconfigure my settings.  Determining that this site "talks" to the daemon on "myantsle" was the investigative component.

Hope this helps others...

Good luck!

The docs say that anthilld is not required to be running to use antsle.

By reading docs it appears that anthilld does a UDP hole punch to allow
communication from antsle HQ back to the unit. (Bypassing your firewall).
Presumably this allows the mydomain.antsle.com to work, root password
reset and other things...

So if you don't want that (its a security concern) then shut down anthilld.

Could someone from antsle comment on what breaks if anthilld isn't running?
