Fiber's shitting the bed, apparently a cut. We're on backup WAN. ETA from ISP is 5am tomorrow
Upgraded the backup connection last week, so will leave pict-rs enabled for now and see how things go.
Update: Fiber came back online around 4:30 this morning and the auto fallback seems to have worked. Yay.
Sounds like you had a visit from the elusive fiber seeking back hoe.
Lol, ideally. The last fiber outage was because some meth head thought they were stealing copper. :sigh: I hate this state lol.
Amazingly I had a fiber outage during the same window you did. Though I had symmetric backup fiber from a different company that didn't go down.
Funny story, when the first primary fiber came back up, the configuration on the device made it such that only port one was usable, but we were using a different port. So I had a personal extended outage for another 3 days until I figured that little nugget out
I wish my backup was symmetric or that a symmetric-capable backup provider was even available here. lol. I used to use cable internet as my backup, but the provider kept cutting the upload (used to be 40 Mbps then they incrementally cut it to 20 and finally 10!) Currently using TMobile's 5G home internet as my backup, and that performed better than the cable last time I had to cut over to backup WAN.
Yeah, I had a similar fallback issue. When it failed back over, some routes got "stuck" on the backup path and continued to pass over that until I toggled the interface. Have since added a step to my failback script to up/down the backup WAN interface which should fix that on the next outage.
