 Is there any known fix for this problem besides a physical reset, and can
 be done from the command line?

 Thanks

 Good day,

 I have several *Beaglebone Black Rev C*. They are connected to my
 LAN by using a static IP address. I observed that from time to time
 connecting to the Beaglebone Black via ethernet is not possible.

 *I identified the following behavior:*

 The ethernet port has two LEDs, a Green one and an Orange/Yellow one.
 If I apply power to the Beaglebone Black I noticed that the green LED
 immediately starts to blink. However, the yellow LED stays very often 
 dark. *It
 simply never blinks during the whole boot process of the board*. In
 this case ethernet will not be available after booting linux and the 
 board
 can not be reached via ethernet.

 *My workaround:*

 Is this a known respectively a bug? I observed this with several
 Beaglebone Black Rev-C from Element 14. I also have 2 Rev-B boards and I
 think (currently not 100% sure since these boards are not used at the
 moment) that I observed the same behavior.
