Error 651 because 'routes' is not working about usg-kpn-ftth HOT 4 CLOSED

the setroutes.sh in this solution will make sure that the DHCP static route extension is configured on the USG (which is not by default). KPN sends a classless static route to its IPTV platform in the DHCP Answer. To allow the USG to process this static route we need to create a script which executes as a DHCP exit hook which, when ran, will create a static route to the IPTV platform.

The reason I use the DHCP Exit hook (RFC3442) is that when KPN changes anything on their end it will be picked up by the USG automatically. In the troubleshooting post on tweakers you can see that I talk about looking if the route is present after two minutes after logging in.

Another person has experienced Error 651 and they did the following:

1. turn off Arris Setup box
2. turn of (unifi) switch(es)
3. restart USG, login with SSH and check if the IPTV route is present
4. power on Unifi Switch
5. power on arris

and it started to work.

Okay, that’s something I could try (probably next time I’m having trouble). This however does not answer my question if it is needed to upload the routes file itself, since setroutes.sh creates it too.

Technically the answer is no. It will speed up the installation if the file is present. The reason setroutes is in the solution is that after a firmware update the routes file is no longer present in the correct location.

That's a clear answer, thank you!
I found the post at tweakers, really useful information! Thanks again!
