Network changes Tuesday, October 4th, 2016 1400 CDT (1900 UTC)
by Mike Horwath Sept. 30, 2016

Sept. 30, 2016

Work will be done to separate out the EX4200 from the current virtual chassis configuration. This work will be done by Mr. Lumby. A new EX4200 has been added to the current stack via L2 connectivity instead of virtual chassis cabling and testing looks successful for packet loss that has been noticed by some members crossing the current VC stack from the EX4200. Thanks, everyone, for all the testing and donations to the network infrastructure! -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau(a)Geeks.ORG ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

Fwd: Route Server BGP communities (& OS upgrades) - 5/22/2016
by Mike Horwath May 18, 2016

May 18, 2016

Forwarded from MICE-DISCUSS as requested. ================ From: Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)IPHOUSE.NET> To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: [MICE-DISCUSS] Route Server BGP communities (& OS upgrades) - 5/22/2016 Date: Wed, 18 May 2016 11:11:38 -0500 Thanks to Chih Chen's help at the U of Wisc, I have testing done for phase1 of the BGP communities exporting that have been requested. (Phase2 would be doing prepends, but I'll have to lab up that functionality as I saw the export function grow 10 times or so before I stopped). Most of the delay was waiting for others to test with me. I plan on implementing this MICE site wide on Sunday, 5/22/2016, starting at around 10:00PM - 11:59PM. All the testing looked good to us during testing, the functions behaved as expected. This function is an expansion of what was tested before. ipHouse has had this export function on it since the end of winter. It is written to properly handle 32-bit ASNs (I believe, that part was provided by the BIRD WIKI author). And of course IPv4 and IPv6 make no difference. The communities supported by this setup will include 0:peerAS -- Don't export route prefix to this peer. 53679:peerAS -- Always export route prefix to this peer. 0:53679 -- Don't export route prefix to all MICE peers. The steps of actually implementing this would be non-eventful, but I know some will want to drop for it. ALSO, we really should upgrade the OS that is running the route servers too. So I'll be doing OS updates and other upgrades that will upgrade BIRD as well in the same window. BIRD moves from 1.4.5 -> 1.5.0. The release notes say it mostly is OSPF changes, I expect no problems in this update, BIRD has been very stable, and the OS has been stable in production use here.
