#fmt2 — Public Fediverse posts

Fremont / #FMT2 Colo Update:

- #RPi has gone read-only (bad MicroSD card), and need to swap it and redeploy #OpenWRT, or swap that setup out entirely for a #Cisco ISR4431 with an async card. The issue with putting the latter in, is that I don't have access to a Cisco account to get IOS-XE updates, and I need to crimp custom cables for the #APC PDUs, why they use RJ-14 for console right next to an Ethernet RJ-45 connector is beyond me.

- The #Juniper EX4200 #copper switch is dead (bad flash), will be swapped with an EX4300 (mgmt) switch when I bring it up there, and will go alongside a QFX5100-48S (core) #fiber switch + and MX80 router. The router won't be taking in full tables as it simply cannot handle today's large table size.

- The #Mikrotik router after upgrading to 7.15(anything) has had serious BGP instability, and had to downgrade to 7.14. I'll more than likely pull it out after the full Juniper stack is installed.

- I'll eventually get #storage and #compute up there eventually, certainly glad that I do not depend on anything there, to having experienced all this in the last few months.
