I use a USG-3P (gateway) which is directly connected to the fiber, a couple of switches and two APs. I have a home server where I’ve installed the controller software (in Docker). Everything was working great!</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago my server needed to be rebooted. After everything was up an running again, for some reason the USG-3P decided to throw a fit. It got in a state where it was continuously adopting. The network was working without a problem, I had an internet connection, all clients got IP addresses when needed. But the fact that is was continuously in a state of adopting was bothering me. I tried several things like rebooting the USG-3P, and at one point I reset it. Now another problem surfaced, I could not reach my internal network from the internet (some simple websites). Apparently there was a DNS problem, but I could not figure out what to do.</p>
<p>After a lot of googling I found the solution. The USG-3P for some reason was trying to send the ‘inform’ command to the wrong IP address. So, after I managed to SSH into the USG-3P, I could set the correct IP address:</p>
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">set-inform http://ip-address-of-controller:8080/inform</code></p>
<p>Et voila, the USG-3P got adopted, and everything is working fine ever since.</p>Patrick AhlesBats2023-11-26T19:09:00+01:002023-11-26T19:09:00+01:00https://www.ahles.nl/2023/11/26/bats<p>Bats ‘dancing’.</p>

I was flabbergasted. Especially the fourth song, Buka, is exceptional. Buka starts at 19:50. I have been playing it again and again.</p>

<p>After I watched that video I’ve been discovering more and more of Hania Rani. What a great musician. I have a new favorite artist!</p>Patrick AhlesOn to Europa2023-06-12T09:55:00+02:002023-06-12T09:55:00+02:00https://www.ahles.nl/2023/06/12/on-to-jupiter-europa<p>In an ongoing tradition I have joined the mission to Europa (a Jupiter moon).</p>
