@KJ7OMO #brandmeister is weird... they don't like the #dvswitch instance on my #allstar node because it's a "bridge".
To heck with them... #tgif works fine. I'm sure the other networks do too.
Spent an afternoon learning that #brandmeister doesn't like my #dvswitch instance. BM has a policy against most "bridges" and DVS is a bridge. Even though I'm the only one on it.
Guess it's time to dig out the hotspot. Or else stay on #tgif which works just fine.
managed to install #allstarlink V3 on a #debian 12 VM inside my #windows PC. i can work with #DVSwitch mobile for now to comunicate on the radio. really wanted to have my portable radio be connected in there but i do not have budget to do it. if anyone is kind enough, i'll be glad to accept it. :-) 73
Always fun when you're doing the same thing as always, and suddenly a new problem appears...
In this case: A Fortigate VM cluster on VMware. There's a dvSwitch portgroup for the HA network with the recommended configuration for such a setup, connected to a dedicated network adapter in either VM.
The Fortigates start talking on their HA network, and after a couple of minutes, both dvSwitch ports go into the blocked state (not at the same time). I have rarely even seen that happening at all? And not with any of the other Fortigate VM clusters we run on our infrastructure?
No idea what's up there, and I have not found any events that shed light on a reason, though ESXi logs do say the dvSwitch port is being blocked. Thanks, that's great?
Looks like some network tracing is in my near future...
(Note: I do know all about the shit that Broadcom is pulling, and if I was in a position to migrate our platform to a different hypervisor, I would. No need to tell me.)
this what soon to be running #ASL3 & #DVswitch hybrid system, RPi 5B 4GB with SHARI clone connected to USB
after some time, i figured out that #DVSwitch has a WT mode and the full node mode which means i do not need to host my node to a VPS to connect to other nodes. I do not have a radio set up for now so I will be using just my phone to talk. Awsome! time to make friends on the air!
