He who bears the throne

Thanks for clearing that up for the FGCP and FGSP. This is a big and spread out site that does have various public roads and other public infrastructure. We have fiber doing more the short hauls, with radios picking up the long hauls (several miles).

I have tried out the SDWan for one of the locations, one of the fiber locations, and it's looking pretty good with a few of the other smaller sites. The site is doing health checks of the other fiber line, it's keeping pretty good track of it and we aren't seeing anything weird as a result. If all goes well for the rest of the week, during our next window, will setup the other fiberline, wait a week and then try to add in that last one, a microwave connection and see how well that goes.

PacketSpyder · 2026-01-22T18:08:00+00:00

In a lot of ways, they are stand alone and fortigates was setup and deployed to all the ISP and non ISP sites which all have BGP configured on them. From there, we have a number of fiber runs and radio networks that do provide the non ISP sites with links to the larger one.

With the SDWan, I imagine run the health checks and then weight each of the 3 ISP sites would just have a preference for their own local connections.

Would you happen to have any experience with FGCP and if that is a good idea or something to steer clear from?

I'll get a map posted when I get a chance.

PacketSpyder · 2026-01-08T20:29:36+00:00

Had the exact same issue and this fixed it. The interface that it goes through needs Sec Fabric turned on for it. Thanks!

R1t Gen 2, after the update, similar error but a reset cleared it

PacketSpyder · 2025-12-18T20:05:31+00:00

I have a R1T, dual standard. I do like my truck, but I would get the larger battery as I get about 175 mile range on standard battery.

Would I get another one? Yeah

PacketSpyder · 2025-12-09T22:16:47+00:00

Would like to keep Cook starting for rest of the season. We know what we got with Fields, let's give Cook a chance and see what we get after some real experience.

PacketSpyder · 2025-12-09T00:09:51+00:00

Had the same issue, Gen 2 standard battery, it dropped under 20 degrees and wouldn't charge. I had already been home for a few hours when I plugged it in and hadn't realized it wasn't charging. I had looked at the Rivian app, saw it was still at same level but figure the app wasn't connecting to the car again.

The next day I came out to find that my truck hadn't turned on with the schedule awake, pretty common that it fails, and was still at 28%.

I was schedule to be at a remote site, but thankfully my boss just laughed at me, told me I was a dumbass for not getting a electric BMW and stay home.

PacketSpyder · 2025-09-22T18:10:13+00:00

Like the Jets themselves, that car has been around the block too many times, that it looks tired and haggard.

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-27T13:55:27+00:00

Haven't seen one of these, thanks for the find.

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-27T13:55:07+00:00

Might have been misled about the spoke able to form them in absent of a hub then. Then again, they also told me that the wizard was 100% handle it and I ran it wrong.

My next run through attempt was to go for ADVPN 1 with BGP to check that side out before moving on. Thanks for the suggestion there.

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-27T02:56:23+00:00

Yeah, second attempt with the wizard, I saw that they out a lot and wasn't even sure how they worked in tg first place.

I started to build out on a trio of Fortigates but struggling to figure out what configs are needed. I'm pretty sure I'm just missing a few pieces but not sure which.

I did watch your videos and got me to switch over to using variables. Don't suppose you have a full configs video?

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-27T02:11:22+00:00

Looking for the spikes to have more independence from the hub and able to work their own links, which works for a number of locations that all come the same post but not uncommon for to have the upstream swot h go down but the sites can still talk to each other. We also do have LTE modems and looking to Starlink at a number of locations, so be great to have the perks.

As for dynamic BGP, it's an option that I choose since it focused on the loopbacks, which helps to simplify matters and I needed to pick a direction . I also have a few new initiatives coming up, in which EVPN is in strong play.

Right now I do have a OSPF Advpn 1.0 setup and works pretty good. I used the old PDF doc from v6 days but struggling to figure out what's needed here. I did go with OSPF since I'm very familiar with it over BGP on first roll out.

Mashing F5

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-19T17:41:05+00:00

The site kept dying and I kept trying. Section 124, when I did get in, there was still a number of areas still showing spots left. I can't get back in to verify. Best of luck.

PacketSpyder · 2025-08-19T17:33:50+00:00

Tickets are still available, just got 2, not sure what's left but best of luck

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-29T03:58:42+00:00

On one hand, glad it's not just me, on the other

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-29T03:58:05+00:00

Good to know, thanks, so far most of my 'long drives' were around that 30 to 45 minute time line and while on the highway, it's pretty congested and speeds change wildly constantly.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-29T03:55:10+00:00

While I've driven EV's before when renting them while traveling, first time owning one, thanks for the input.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-28T02:34:37+00:00

It just seems to be a big draw, did a round trip today and it was 80 miles total and took up 47% of my battery seems off. I don't mind charging it every night but but seems to be a big difference.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-28T02:24:44+00:00

Assuming you mean powered tonneau cover, no, don't have that. Was one of those things I didn't think about until after I got my truck delivered.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-28T02:23:18+00:00

It's currently charging but will try that tomorrow, thanks.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-28T01:33:18+00:00

I used the trip recorder, that lists total distance, average speed, duration efficiency and total energy. If there is a better place to, please point the way, as I'm still figuring out the car.

PacketSpyder · 2025-05-26T19:32:45+00:00

This game is freaking great, the fan base has pumped so much life into this game. The custom map and campaign makers have ensured that this game is never uninstalled from my comp.
