MICE 511 Server Maintenance
by Richard Laager 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

In some tens of minutes, I will be switching MICE’s management infrastructure, including the website, to a new transit provider. This involves IP renumbering. If you have issues, drop me an email to my day job email here, or call/text me if you have my mobile number. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

UG 46 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

The MICE UG 46 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 9, 3:00 pm at UMN and via Zoom. Parking, etc. details same as before: https://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MICE-DISCUSS;2c503e19.2209 * * *Zoom Details* https://umn.zoom.us/j/97601658469?pwd=C6JWkmoYfB9WjZsnRPr9S5u1l4Zkuz.1 ID: 94910223662, passcode: Jp74Et 651-372-8299, meeting ID 97601658469, passcode 864193 * * *Nominations* We will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Reid's seat is up for election. As in the past, we will close nominations in advance of the meeting so people have a chance to instruct a proxy appropriately. *Nominations will be open for two weeks, September 23 - October 6. *I plan to send reminder emails approximately at the start of and just after the nomination period. In the event that the election is uncontested, our practice is to elect by acclimation at the meeting. Proxies are unnecessary in that situation, assuming that the meeting makes quorum. *Proxies * The bylaws state that you send proxies to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager(a)wiktel.com or chiefmanager(a)micemn.net. If you send me a /vote/ by email (e.g. "We vote for <X>."), I will treat it as an a proxy appointment, appointing me to vote on your behalf, but restricted to /only/ the election item and to /only/ vote for the candidate you expressed. If you send me a proxy with different instructions (e.g. "We appoint <Y> to vote for us."), obviously that will be honored as written. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

MICE Core Switch Card Upgrade
by Richard Laager 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

Date & Time Wednesday, February 14 at 15:00 US/Central Description Jeremy will swap a (now unused) 10G line card for a 100G line card in the Arista core switch at 511. There is no expected impact for most participants. In the (relatively unlikely) event that a fiber cable is physically in the way and he has to unplug it to remove/install the card, he will disable BGP for that participant first and wait (unless the port is part of a LAG with sufficient excess capacity at that time of day). The Fiber Minnesota and Minnesota VoIP remote switches are connected by 3x100G LAG. Jeremy will move one port from each LAG from card 6 to the new card. Rollback Plan If there is some problem, the new 100G card can be removed. The ports in the Fiber Minnesota and Minnesota VoIP remote switches can be moved back to card 6. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

Date & Time Wednesday, January 31 at 06:00 US/Central Description Jeremy will upgrade software on the Arista core switch at 511.

MICE Maintenance 2024-01-18 & 2024-01-19
by Richard Laager 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Date & Time January 18, 00:00 - 05:00 US/Central January 19, 00:00 - 05:00 US/Central Description Our underlying fiber provider will be doing maintenance on the connection from 511 to Ridgeview. They are attempting to repair some other fiber issues. We may or may not go down. If we did go down, participants on the 511 side would see a loss of BGP to Route Server 2. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

Re: RPKI ROAs
by Richard Laager 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

I intend to publish the following ROAs on MICE's behalf to indicate that the peering LAN is not to appear in the Internet routing table: On Monday (June 19) around 10:00 AM: 2001:504:27::/48 AS0 maxLength 128 On Wednesday (June 21) around 10:00 AM: 206.108.255.0/24 AS0 maxLength 32 The reason for the maxLength is: "By convention, an AS 0 ROA should have a maxLength value of 32 for IPv4 addresses and a maxlength value of 128 for IPv6 addresses" -- RFC 6483, section 4. This should only be an issue for someone if they are advertising the MICE peering subnet in their iBGP (which we discourage) and are doing RPKI validation of that iBGP (which seems unlikely). If you think this will be a problem for you, let me know. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

Re: IRR Mandatory at MICE / New Route Servers
by Richard Laager 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

After finishing up with the last minute inquiries, I deployed these changes. As far as I am aware, for everyone that has been in contact with me, things are either: A) resolved, B) been given an exception, or C) are irrelevant (see the "don't count") at the end of this email. The things that are filtered should only be people who never responded. The following routes are being filtered on rs1 (and rs2). That is, this is what is effectively "blocked" (for lack of route/route6 objects, ignoring rejections for other causes) /excluding/ the 4 exceptions: AS5056: https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs1-ipv4/routes/protocol/pb_0047_as5056 206.83.43.0/24 AS5056 AS6939: Too many routes to list. They have looser IRR policies <https://routing.he.net/algorithm.html> (specifically, I think the RIR handle matches allow a lot that traditional IRR filtering does not). Bilateral with them if you want those.
