Topic: CentOS 7 yum error on Remi repository

I have 8 Centos 7 systems with the Remi yum repository enabled. On 6 of them a "yum update" will work to completion without error. However on two of the systems a "yum update" errors out with this message:

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/remi/mirror error was
14: curl#7 -"Failed to connect to 2001:bc8:33a1:100::1: Network is unreacheable"

Why is this error occurring and how do I fix it. The error started occurring mayb e 3 or 4 days ago.

Re: CentOS 7 yum error on Remi repository

look like a network connectivity issue on your side
perhaps related to IPV6

I finally figured it out. On the two machines with the issue, I blocked a large subnet of French hosts because of spam originating from a particular block of IPs. Apparently the collateral damage was to take out the Remi repository. I have since modified my firewall blocks and now everything is good again.

Thanks for your help.
