Probe disconnects
Hi, I have a probe ( #22583 ) at home connected via my DSL link, for IPv6 connectivity I use a Hurricane Electric ( tunnelbroker.net ) /48 tunnel. I noticed on the monthly report that my probe is showing lots of short ( 1-2 min) disconnects. But it only seems to happen when the connection address in the probe’s network tab is the IPv6 address. In that case the IPv4 Connection address is empty. If it’s showing the IPv4 the probe stays connected for days ( until the DSL link really disconnects). Is there a way to get the probe to ignore the IPv6 for connection status ? Or to mark it as disconnected when both iPv4 and IPv6 are disconnected ? Best regards, Paul van der Zwan

You can restrict the probe to connect only on IPv4 if you want by checking the box in the network settings for IPv4: https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/22583/#tab-network This will make sure the probe only connects to our infrastructure using IPv4 but the probe will still be available for IPv6 measurements.

Hi Johan, I had a look on my probe’s page but I cannot find a check box anywhere. Only things I see are the dhcp/static address selection options. Regards Paul Sent from my mobile phone
