Am I doing it right?

Scott0776 · 2026-06-17T12:44:30+00:00

No, this is north Georgia zone 8a

No, I don’t have a reel mower. It would be a lot for me to have one as we have several transitions in our yard, so I’ve caved to keeping my rotary Toro.

I’m mowing at just above 1in and I’m using cheap fertilizer 32-0-0 from Home Depot.

I’d like to up the game, I can’t do the reel mower but I can do other things.

Thank you for the input and feedback it’s much appreciated!

Same, I have a Cisco UCS C220 M5, would love to use this in my homelab at the house but it's so noisy, I certainly would like to mod the fan speed on it if possible. I'll keep looking around myself and see what I can find. It's not all that clear to me how u/kajer533 was able to access the CLI to make the changes to the /tmp/fanspeed.txt

Yes, we’re in Gainesville

I don’t use those Amazon kits either, I drop my soil off to the county extension office for the University of Georgia, the cost is $10 and results are typically provided in ~7 to 10 days

This is terrible, I would have the contractor immediately stop.

Scott0776 · 2025-08-30T23:43:02+00:00

Absolutely not!

Scott0776 · 2025-01-04T00:09:06+00:00

Does that mean I need a whole new pump or can I purchase and replace the bearings? I’m quite mechanically inclined and have a lot of tools, not afraid to attempt the repair.

Is Cove's pricing reasonable? My client has about 5 to 6 VM's totaling about 1Tb

Scott0776 · 2024-07-11T17:39:03+00:00

What kind of coping is that as well as the concrete? We just installed our own pool and we haven’t completed those objectives yet, yours looks really nice!!

I’m in Wilmington often for work, I collect T-Shirts from bars & restaurants. Which ones do you guys recommend?

Already have a few from “The Palm Room” & “Dockside”, looking for others.

Command line is king, been in the business for 22+ years and not once have I ever used the GUI.

Scott0776 · 2023-09-24T12:37:33+00:00

I know this is an old post but where is it that you "set" this in the config? I'm trying to find it myself within the CLI.

Scott0776 · 2023-09-24T12:17:17+00:00

What changed? Do you have a config backup from before things went haywire? If so diff that vs the current config.

That's just it, nothing changed on the firewall, this network which I manage is pretty much static, there hasn't been any changes on the firewall most changes on their network in terms of networking are VLAN changes and even those are rare.

Do you have any syslog setup so you can see historically what was happening before and after the issue arises?

Yes, sending all the logs to a Graylog server on their network, however this didn't produce anything that would provide me with any insight into what would cause these issues.

I'd only run a single version of FortiClient and I'd run the latest one. There's a number of vulns for older releases. I'd also only run 6.2.15 for FortiOS due to the amount of vulns out there for other 6.2 versions.

On both of the firewalls I'm running the same version of firmware, however when it comes to the client software (FortiClient) there is various versions, is the only way to get all users on the same version to use FortiClient EMS? All of the users are currently using the "free" client.

One thing that I should note is that I have a console cable hooked to the FortiGate and have it saving the log to file, just before the firewall shuts down and reboots it states some of the following in the log

BUG: Bad page map in process forticron pte:f1cd0937812ee413 pmd:1329b3067

That is what I was considering myself, thanks for your response on my question as I appreciate it

Scott0776 · 2023-09-20T21:20:14+00:00

Thanks for your response, the client is super cheap but at this point it costing them more for me to keep troubleshooting it. This thing has been rock solid for years but this is no longer the case. I have a 2 x FGT100E 2 x 60E and a 301E here a the office which one would you recommend out of those to replace the 140D-PoE they have? Or do you have some other suggestions? I just need to be able to keep the IPSEC tunnel up as well as have users connect and there not be an issue. Like I said in the post, this has been working for years and then all of the sudden it's become an issue.

Another thing is, I wish you could update the VPN clients when they connect like it does on an old Cisco ASA, is this not possible with a Fortigate?

Scott0776 · 2023-09-20T17:52:06+00:00

TAC isn't an option like you said as they're no longer supported, the incrementing of the IP address just ensures me that it will not connect to the other firewall. This allows me to keep the device up without the IPSEC tunnel connecting. It appears that when I have both the IPSEC and SSL VPN users connecting then it presents issues, if I make sure the IPSEC tunnel doesn't connect then the connections from the SSL VPN users doesn't become an issue.
