To MT: Extensive customisation of our network Sunday 20th October 2024 00:30


We will be carrying out extensive maintenance work on our network from 20 October 2024 from 00:30 to 02:30.

We are adapting the failover and VRRP principle in more detail, revising all of our routing configurations and commissioning additional backup solutions - in order to be able to provide improved options in the future.

This work is urgently needed due to the recent maintenance of our upstream.

During the maintenance process, there may be interruptions, timeouts and probable downtimes of the network infrastructure - as we also have to work on the failover principle and adapt and test all or optimal options.

Update from 20.10 - 03:57:

We have now applied our optimisations to our routers and tested VRRP. Our configurations are correct and have largely been implemented.

Apparently there is a NAT problem with our upstream, which means that the failover is not 100% effective. We are still waiting for feedback from our upstream in order to clarify the problem and possibly rectify it. An answer is pending.

Once we have received the response from our upstream, we will continue our work at night.

Our current upstream obviously doesn't want to identify and fix the problem.

We will be changing our provider in the coming week and will schedule a new maintenance appointment.
