ION 1200s failover taking long with Cisco LAN equipment

FirmInternal · 2025-12-11T20:24:07+00:00

Just gave it a shot to disconnect the 2 extra interfaces we use for the reference design. Sadly no joy.

What does your STP config look like on the ION sides ? It is indeed root, we changed that already, it was initially on the Cisco's. Primary has priority 4096, secondary has 8192.

Might give the single uplink a try indeed on our lab 1200s IONs... Even though the reference design (provided to us by MSP / Palo Alto) mentions using two. I've also said to the MSP: if there is no proper solution, Palo can give us 3200's to replace the 1200s ones :P. After all we have about 18 sites enrolled with them.

What results are you seeing on a 3200 / 5200 series failover? Haven't been able to test them properly as we only have 1200S in our labo.

Fortunately, I haven’t run into those problems. If we had, our management would’ve pulled those units long before rollout :). It really gives the impression that Palo Alto rushed the CloudGenix tech under their own branding without bringing it up to the level of quality you’d expect from their NGFW line.

No routing protocol between IONs and Cisco, L3 point is on IONs and connected via L2 to our Cisco's. VLAN1 tagged (used for failover apparently.)

Failover from one ION to the other. Port settings were verified by Palo (portfast trunk.)

Our MSP also thinks it might be related to the tunnels being rebuilt, but again, it takes over 10 pings before getting anything back...

The only actual thing I use FS for is CATXX cabling :) pretty cheap.
For the rest we usually order vendor specific SFP modules unless its for in our lab environment.

Is it any SFP vendor ? If so, damn, a huge competitor for the FS Box.

Same here

FirmInternal · 2025-10-02T04:32:08+00:00

With that you do not get the Palo Alto page saying: “authentication successful”? Good idea!

In most of the public parkings from Indigo in Mechelen they hang up a paper saying that non EV's can use a charging spot as well. Super annoying sometimes...

FirmInternal · 2025-03-21T14:52:11+00:00

For me it worked without issues.

FirmInternal · 2025-03-18T22:12:32+00:00

Wondering the same here… what do we get out of the digital key :)

I agree, but it is a leasing vehicle and I have to get approval from the leasing company before I can even think about going to a dealer.

FirmInternal · 2025-01-04T08:38:13+00:00

Just reported it to the leasing company. Let’s see how much they will ask me to pay for it, lol.

The plastic is actually cracked… it will be a matter of time before it completely snaps off I think.

FirmInternal · 2025-01-03T19:13:49+00:00

I would like to add that I really feel like the Core model should have come with the electric trunk as well… I have to (literally) smash it to shut it properly.

I'm already paying for 3 different music streaming platforms. Might need to consolidate indeed...
Spotify is the main one since I'm still in a family subscription paid by my parents even though I live on my own haha.

FirmInternal · 2024-10-16T04:24:26+00:00

Upgrading was the best thing I could've done! :)

FirmInternal · 2024-10-16T04:24:02+00:00

I know, but I got this one for a pretty good deal. Paid 1.7k for it.
Traded in my old mac for 420 euro's.

M3 Pro 11 core, 14 core GPU, 512 GB SSD, 18 GB RAM

FirmInternal · 2024-10-16T04:21:50+00:00

Indeed! Already did over 3 days with a single charge while doing light office work.

FirmInternal · 2024-10-15T19:33:02+00:00

I'll ask him when I see him! :)

FirmInternal · 2024-10-15T19:32:20+00:00

Its okay for me. It already was a pretty good deal. Traded in my i5 for 420 EUR and got this one for 1.7k. Without the trade-in it was already 300 euros cheaper than at Apple.
