I seem to have a knack for answering my own questions haha.

I contacted OVH support and they said that the two HSRP IPs are failovers and only one can be used at once.

I'm just a bit confused at the moment, anyone else know whether the HSRP failover IPs are meant to be usable?
For me one of them works and the other doesn't.

Have you posted trace routes yet?

Ask OVH Onsite, a reboot fixes things that have not been fixed for 10 reboots before

[rickyday]

Ah the trusty reboot!

Glad you got it sorted

[Vmlweb]

Ok I rebooted and this was fixed.

Ok it seems to just be minecraft.
The port is open and ssh worked fine.

The minecraft port is open but I cannot connect.

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me setup a vRack Ripe block on my debian server.
I've managed to get the IP to ping and appear in ifconfig but I cannot connect to it via ssh/minecraft.

First I followed the instructions in their installation email to install the tagged interface.

apt-get update
apt-get install vlan
vconfig add eth0 3085
ifconfig eth0.3085 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.240.0.0

I then received the following details for the RIPE block.

5.39.35.64/28
Network IP      : 5.39.35.64 (Unusable)
Broadcast IP    : 5.39.35.79 (Unusable)
Netmask         : 255.255.255.240
IP HSRP         : 5.39.35.76 5.39.35.77
Gateway         : 5.39.35.78

After I followed their RIPE tutorial and added this to the network interfaces file.

auto eth0.3085:0
iface eth0.3085:0 inet static
          address 5.39.35.65
          network 5.39.35.64
          broadcast 5.39.35.79
          netmask 255.255.255.240
          up /sbin/ip route add default via 5.39.35.78 dev eth0.3085 table 125
          up /sbin/ip rule add from 5.39.35.64/28 table 125
          post-down /sbin/ip route del default via 5.39.35.78 dev eth0.3085 table 125
          post-down /sbin/ip rule del from 5.39.35.64/28 table 125

I restarted networking an this was the result ifconfig showed.

eth0.3085 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:90:a1:83:74  
          inet6 addr: fe80::225:90ff:fea1:8374/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:768 (768.0 B)  TX bytes:604 (604.0 B)

eth0.3085:0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:90:a1:83:74

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

I thought this had worked but I am unable to connect via ports.
Any help would be great.

Thanks!
Victor
