Issues replacing an FVX538 with an SRX5308
I am having a situation that is rather confusing and wondered if anyone else has seen this, or can offer a solution. The end game goal here is to replace and FVX538 with an SRX5308 Our environment...
Sorry - missed that last question.
Both devices were 'out of the box' and were configured by hand. The 336 we did reset to factory default (the button) and re-did it by hand, no backup and restore.
I just did a 'little test' before I let work and it was interesting. On the SRX5308 I disabled all of the VPN's (23 actually) before I took down the 538 and then placed to 5308 on line.
Waited until we had good DNS and other services and then, starting with the problem site first (FVS336) and then brought each tunnel up seperatly. Waited until we had steady pings across the tunnel before moving along to the next one.
When we brought up the 11th site, the connection went south with numerous dropped packets. Disconnected Site 11 and 10 and restarted the Problem Child, but it never came back up without a lot of loss.
Will try same thing later, but a different rotation of who comes up first. All 11, before we backed down, were running smoothly.
This will indeed get real ugly I am afraid.
