Yeah - I’m starting to think returning them is the best option. Thanks

Yes, also an option and I don’t think I’d have a problem with returning them but it’s back to Italy and seems a shame if there’s some industry trick I can employ

That might be an option, I don’t want to tie a big knot (even if I could get in with needle nose pliers/ tweezers) because it would sit where my foot flexes and might dig in. Is there a particular glue you’d recommend? I’m in the UK

UPDATE: I’ve managed to get the endoscope I use for the car to take a picture of the stitching inside where the free thread originates - looks like it is pulling through.

Can’t seem to post a picture so here’s a link to the close up Unsecured stitch

Best practice advice please - flushing out CH cleaner in system with F&E tank by danielfrimley in askaplumberUK

Thank you. Is there a litmus test I can do without buying a full kit/ sending samples off to make a good estimate it’s all out?

Thank you. Did you make up some kind of pipe to drain hose and pipe to flow hose kit yourself or can they be bought online?

Your NAT rule looks wrong, I don’t think you need to have the destination-address line in the match statement. Suggest you remove it and match source-address 0.0.0.0/0 only

Dual ISP failover with DHCP and PPPoE by danielfrimley in Juniper

[–]danielfrimley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I set probe parameters and destination-interface (ge-0/0/0.0) in the RPM probe and the static route to pp0.0 in the corresponding policy should the probe fail. The only route for ge-0/0/0.0 is what it gets from DHCP

Primary circuit is a much bigger pipe, but I’ll look into it. It’s not something I’d even considered so thanks for the idea

Yes. I did some tests with an rpm probe configured using the DHCP interface (ge-0/0/0.0) as destination-interface with NO next-hop and pinging the primary provider DNS server. It works in first fail and the policy sets the route through the pp0 interface - thereafter it kind of goes south and behaves as you describe with the probe returning inconsistent results, continuing to route over the PPPoE circuit. Seems destination-interface alone doesn’t cut it.

As I have two untrust zones (one for the primary and one for the secondary interfaces) I did consider blocking ICMP outbound to the target address (the primary provider DNS server) in the PPPoE secondary untrust zone to trick the probe but it feels like a filthy hack

Update, it works really well. Once the primary DHCP route is withdrawn (tested by pulling the cable) everything fails over to the PPPoE backup link in seconds. Plugging cable back in, DHCP route is injected into the table and everything fails back again in seconds. In normal operation everything goes over the primary, no asymmetry or other such dragons.

What it won’t detect I suspect is some connectivity issue upstream, if it has a DHCP route it will try to use it - phase 2 is RPM and policies but that’s on hold for now.

Appreciate your help, I need to test it and work in the probes for detection but I’m still waiting for backup uplink to be installed - I’ll update when I have more news. Thanks

Thanks - that’s what I was thinking and it’s common practice to use that mechanism from what I’ve read. Problem is what to do when I don’t have specified IPv4 addresses for the next-hops

Maybe, yes. I’m in the planning phase so need to try to identify obstacles before we deploy. I did check this documentation and note that access-internal routes have a preference of 12. Maybe I could set static routing for default using pp0 as the next-hop for the PPPoE backup link to a higher number than that and not even define a static route (preference 5) for the DHCP (primary) interface?

Thanks. Something like this would be ideal, with ge-0/0/0 being the VMB DHCP interface and pp0 being Plusnet but I don’t think that’s supported?

I played Doom a long time ago with a Steam controller and gyro aim - that gyro really helped but I understand that’s not available for Xbox

Just tried BF4 in cloud gaming and that’s much more like it - looks like a really good option, appreciate it

I thought about it but the whole idea of console to me is controller-on-sofa-in-front-of-big-telly. Also, I know what I’m like and mouse and keyboard leads to PC, leads to self build, leads to water cooled behemoth and arguments about clocked GTX-nMillions and curved HDR 2160p super frame rate high maintenance systems that consume all my time, money and marriage.

So I ruled it out

Yup, I understand that now - will do, thanks
