37.3.5
RIP is already configured
WeConnect uses RIP for handling routes inside a secure network. RIP must not
be configured previously when running the installer. You may add your own RIP
settings after the installer, but this is not recommended. All routes picked up by
RIP will propagate to the WeConnect secure network. If you need dynamic routing
for other purposes, please consider using OSPF for that, and keep RIP exclusive
for WeConnect.
You may also get this error message if WeConnect is already installed.
37.3.6
The tunnel SSL 253 already exist
This means that WeConnect is already installed. The special tunnel number 253
is used exclusively for WeConnect.
37.3.7
TFTP is very slow over WeConnect
The traffic sent from one node is put into a VPN tunnel that is terminating at
Westermo’s WeConnect servers on the Internet. It is then re-routed to the target
node via the target node’s VPN tunnel. This causes a high latency for the traf-
fic going back and forth via this service. High latency is very harmful for TFTP
performance as explained in the note in
A WeOS firmware update using a PKG file, using TFTP and going via WeConnect
typically takes several hours due to the latency. Please avoid using TFTP at all
over WeConnect. Other protocols such as FTP, HTTP and SSH use TCP and these
protocols work a lot better for transfering files.
37.3.8
I need to remove or reinstall WeConnect
To reinstall, you should first remove the old settings, and then run the installer
again.
There is no automated way of removing WeConnect, it has to be done manually.
Easiest way is to do a factory reset on your unit, but sometimes that is not an
option.
