XLXHosts update

Post by KA8SCP »

In the last several days, XLX139 was brought online after a previous iteration was removed from service. The new IP is 45.79.59.24

The Reflector List on the XLX dashboards has the proper URL and PhoneHome is functional. http://xlx139.dyndns.org

Can get this get updated? I have refreshed/updated tow pi-star instances and they still yeild the old IP as shown at https://www.pistar.uk/downloads/XLXHosts.txt

Very strange, as Pistar pulls xlx ip addresses directly from xlx.

ran a manual update agn to get the latest host updates. Pistar server syncs data a few times a day. You might of pulled the update previous to it syncing new data.

If its still not updating the correct data let me know and well take a closer look, but atm im not in front of anything to check

Yes... very starnge.

The XLXDMRMaster file has the bad IP address for XLX139. I looked at the DExtra_Hosts (XRF139 = 45.79.59.24) it is correct but DPlus_Hosts (REF139) and DCS_Hosts (DCS139) are not correct. The incorrect ones have the old IP, 66.42.93.25. The new IP is 45.79.59.24

So are these seperate reflectors or are they all running via ur xlx.

ie xlx is handling all protocols.

And im going to suppose the reflector no. hasn't been in use before by another party.

ie no one else is already running a ref139 or dcs139. Because if so those addresses would be pulled from another source.


Also theres this DDNS currently set.
139 = xlx139.lmarc.net

Have you updated your new DNS record, as whats reported is this one above.

From what I read at https://lmarc.net/club/: 2022/11/16 – XRF139 (or XLX / DCS depending on your use) has been retired! The LMARC XLX/XRF/DCS 139 reflector has been retired as of 11/16/2022. 

So maybe they did not remove the DNS listing?

I hoping to use REF, XRF, DCS and XLX iterations of the 139 number.

I have registered:
xlx139.dyndns.org Host 45.79.59.24

Update ur dns record to the new one.
And itll be sorted and will continue to run without any futhur issue, and morein with no additional intervention by us, ad: most of what happens on the back end of pistar is automonous now.

Was not sure what you meant by updating my DNS? I verified that my host designation at DynDNS is correct. It is working. The old URL and IP are non-functional. I understand that pi-star gets its info from the XLX system… and the info on Reflector tab of any XLX system is correct. So I am not sure where it is broken?

Suggestions? Thank you.

I am still seeing this entry at: 139;xlx139.lmarc.net;4004 as downloaded just now at https://www.pistar.uk/downloads/XLXHosts.txt

The file says it is sourced from http://xlxapi.rlx.lu/api.php?do=GetXLXDMRMaster which shows:
XLX139 45.79.59.24

I have nothing to do with the previous iteration of XLX139, so there is not much I can do about that old domain name.

I do see this on one of my linux boxes:

dig -t NS xlx139.lmarc.net

And my version of xlx139.dyndns.org appears correctly:
