I ran into a problem which sounds somewhat similar with OSPF on a chassis SRX. OSPF would form a neighbor relationship fine, but every couple days we'd get an OSPF reset with "too many retransmissions". Then OSPF would reform it's neighbor relationship and work again for another random period of time before
resetting again.

It turned out that we had not done this:

set security zones security-zone XXXX host-inbound-traffic protocols ospf

After realizing that we were surprised that the OSPF neighbor relationship formed at all. But it did. It was just
unstable.

What I think was happening was that we'd successfully connect outbound via ospf, and the stateful firewall would allow the return traffic back. But periodically the neighbor router would need to send us an update and that wouldn't get counted as "return traffic". So the firewall filter would reject it inbound. Periodically
that would result in a "too many retransmissions" and a neighbor reset.

Assuming you have a similar cause, the trick is to figure out what host-inbound-traffic protocol/service
to allow to keep your adsl up.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply!

I've had a look at the jsrpd logs and didn't see anything interesting/odd. Is there anything else I can check?

I'm pretty new to JunOS and the SRX range, I mostly use the ScreenOS devices...

I'm going to swap over to an external ADSL modem to see if the problem still occurs.

Thanks!
Michael.

The first thing I would check is the logs. Do you see a rdp deamon problem or anything along those lines?

 Hi All,

 I'm having some issues with my SRX210 running JunOS 9.6

I'm using an SSG 20 ADSL mini-pim (which could be my problem as it isn't supported).

Basically what happens is the ADSL connection seems to drop out; yet I am still able to ping the ISP gateway address.

If I run "restart routing" on the SRX it fixes the problem, but the problem comes back every week or so.

The routing table looks okay and I can ping the ISP gateway from devices behind the SRX but nothing else.

 Does anyone have any ideas on how to track this problem down?

 Thanks,
 Michael.
