Ofcourse it wouldn’t be a real monday, if it wasn’t for a little trouble. Or actually, a lot, in this case. For some reason, the EVDO system went down, so none of the residential customers had internet access. After some hours of physical tracerouting, changing cables, switches, configs, etc, we figured out what the problem [...]
And another night of work. This time, the plan was to clean up one of the wiring cabinets. It really was a big mess, though no where near as bad as this (The picture is real, made a while back at our NL office). We got a fair bit cleaned up, and might only need [...]
Today I did some interconnect tests with Global Crossing. After a little exchange of information and configuring, we were able to make some successful testcalls from here to the US and back. Fortunately, this will help speeding up $project in the near future ;)
Yay for a competent and clueful test team :)
Yesterday, one of our larger basestations decided to give issues. It wouldn’t respond to arp requests, or ping. When I added a static arp entry, it replied with a bunch of DUPs. But still, the thing was unmanageble. Service was not really affected though, since packets were forwarded just like it should. Troubleshooting is a [...]
When trying to make a little script to post data / configuration info to a SPA-2102, I saw the following:
<input class=”inputw” name=”25859″ size=6 value=”0″ maxlength=5/>
Right. That’s going to be very helpful.
Always fun to hear a customer-complaint. “All phones (10) are broken! Nothing works!”. Right. So, you check up with the helpdesk. They tell you something similar, so we decided to drive by, as it was only 5 minutes away. When we arrived, it appeared that ‘only’ 4 phones weren’t working. After a reset of the [...]
Well, time to post a little update. At the moment, I’ve moved to Curacao. My boss thought it was a good idea to send me here for ~ one year, which I obviously didn’t mind. Currently busy doing work, filling up the house, arranging paperwork, car, bank accounts, and about a million other things I’m [...]
So, today, I got back home :) After a 8.5hrs flight, I arrived this morning back at Schiphol. The flight itself was quite ok, way better than my flight to Curacao.. Almost no babies/annoying kids, and I could actually sleep. Got to sit by the window again, which was a bit useless. The view [...]
So, I took this month off. I had way too many days to spend, so it just seemed the logical thing to do :) Anyway, after about one week, my company called me at home, asking me if I’d like to help out at our office in Curacao. As I was starting to get sick [...]
A quick trick to tell your router you’ve just moved an ipaddress from one box to another (run on the ‘new’ box):
arping -S 193.28.47.16 -s 00:11:43:ce:ab:be 193.28.47.1
.. where 193.28.47.16 is the IP you moved, 00:11:43:ce:ab:be your macaddress, and 193.28.47.1 your gateway :)
