  • 1.  Strange Syslog-Message since 10.4R3

    Posted 04-19-2011 04:49

    We have updated our SRX650-cluster last week and so far it runs very smooth and stable. Also syslog-messages are down near to zero. I have only notice of kernel sync and nearly at the same time the following Error:

     

    In dfwd_ev_client_timer_connect - Function 'dfwd_ev_client_start_retry_timer(session)' returned error 1.

     

    Is this something to worry about?

    These messages do not have any sevice imapct.  This fix  will be avilable in 10.4R4/10.4R5.
    When ppmd fails to connect to dfwd, these messages are seen.dfwd does not run in srx platforms.

    Hi,

     

    I'm running 10.4r4.5 and see the message still. Are we sure this has been fixed in this release.  SRX201H.

    you forgot to mention "high volume" when describing this error.   These are from an EX4200.

    can individual processes (ppmd) or log entries be disabled?   If not, what class/severity must I stop logging to be rid of these?

    Hi

     

    Can be disabled with

     

    file messages {
        any any;
        authorization info;
        match "!dfwd_ev_client_timer_connect";
    }

    Thanks.  It didn't occur to me to use the negate operator.....

    Haha. Good joke there. Juniper still recommends 10.4 and 11.2 as well as 11.3 haven't even been released. Slowly but surely I am loosing ALL my faith in the SRX. They are a true shame for Juniper.

    Unfortunately, it's not an SRX problem, but a JUNOS problem as it also happens on EX4200 hardware.
