I'm starting to become a fan of CGNAT seeing as I now operate an ISP network...

Which variety are you using?

Design changed again, to better replicate a high availability pro DC set up.

I forgot I had an RB5009 next to the existing one. It's now alive, peered with everything via BGP and doing what it should be. It's now an edge router: it advertises that is has a route to the Internet available though it's not as good as the other guy. Doesn't even use its own Internet link for own traffic: goes across the slipstream to the primary.

The previous 5009 sits waiting for VRRP to send things its way as the 2116 isn't working then will use a 2.5G port to talk on the 222 train and know whether to send across the switching plane to the sexay server or to send to its buddy 5009.

I ran out of 10G ports so, rescued from eBay, a CRS309-1G-8S-IN is ready to rumble and has been able to offload everything bar a couple of clients running GbE from the t existing switch.

If I'm honest that switch's lifespan isn't looking too promising. It's going to be replaced by some cheap unmanaged gigabit switch.

Do the rest of the users in the household experience a highly available network with constant tinkering/engineering of a home network lab?  :)

I often break mine, I just have to inform my wife and she's usually fine with some quick tinkering :)

Apart from the brief blips when I moved cabling from one switch to another there was zero downtime to either this or the earlier activity.

I work on one half at a time and point all the client machines to the other half. I logically separate them by switching off the routing protocol between them as necessary.

Even installing a new router as I did wasn't noticed because I did it on the backup. All our traffic was happily flowing through the main router and the YouFibre connection.

It's very easy - change a VRRP priority number to change which is primary and secondary then hit the disable button on BGP sessions and the job's done. Everything goes through the backup. Put them back the way they were and the primary is back.

I inform my wife when I’m about to break the network. Usually she doesn’t see any problem when I’m merely taking one modem down, as with my IP-bonded setup traffic is very quickly redirected to the other lines, within 5 secs or so.

When she's working from home now my better half has her own access point. I can do what I want with the main one without breaking her work connection.

Obviously a hit moving to a different Internet connection. Unavoidable unless I were to buy PI space and persuade my ISPs to route it to me.
