Re: Route Server Announcement Control?

by Jeremy Lumby

I would like to voice my opinion in support of community strings. I had 2 incidents a while ago where a member connected to the route server had a saturated link. It was impacting the quality of my customers connectivity. I wish I had the ability to just not announce to the one member, instead of the all or nothing option we currently have with the route servers. -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Doug McIntyre Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 5:52 PM To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] Route Server Announcement Control?

Route Server Announcement Control?

by Charles Monson

Do the MICE route servers offer any way to control BGP announcement to specific peers? I didn't see anything on the micemn.net website about ways to do that. With some of the larger content providers connecting to the exchange, the folks who have mostly inbound traffic might want a way to stop the route servers announcements to those potentially high traffic peers without entirely withdrawing advertisements to the route servers. Some of the other exchanges we connect at let you send a community indicating the ASN you don't want your prefixes advertisements to reach (e.g. you send a community of "0:11796" to stop the route servers from advertising your prefixes to Airstream). It would be nice to have something similar at MICE. Is this something already supported that I missed? Or something that may be considered as a future feature?

FW: MICE L2 Security Project

by Anthony Anderberg

As a reminder, we're planning on making the last of the changes below that will include all of our ports. As before we don't expect there to be any issues or downtime, I can be reached at 320-234-5539 if anyone has issues. Cheers, anthony Anthony Anderberg Sr. Systems Analyst [NUtel_email_logo_1] 320-234-5239 anthonyanderberg(a)nu-telecom.net<mailto:anthonyanderberg@nu-telecom.net> www.nutelecom.net<http://www.nutelecom.net> From: Anthony Anderberg Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2014 11:58 PM To: MICE Discuss (MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET<mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET>); 'MICE-ANNOUNCE(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET' Subject: MICE L2 Security Project We're at a point where the L2 security team feels ready to make the config changes we've talked about in the past. Although these changes can't protect us from every scenario they should protect the exchange from the many common issues. As discussed at the last meeting member ports will be limited to 5 MAC addresses, storm control will be enabled at 20%, and spanning tree BPDU packets will be filtered. Additionally the exchange will support jumbo frames should members want to exchange them with each other. Obviously if any member needs alternate configuration we'll strive to be as accommodating as possible within the larger project goals. We do not anticipate any downtime, but will send out a group reminder before starting the configuration work. Our schedule: Thursday 10/9/2014 at 10AM = Make global config changes and port changes for beta testers Thursday 10/16/2014 at 10AM = Make port config changes for all other members The beta testers are: US Internet, Paul Bunyan Communications, CNS, IP House, and Wikstrom Telephone. Below is the configuration we'll be using and will publish on our web site for members to review and enjoy.

Meeting Reminder

by Shaun Carlson

Good afternoon all! I wanted to send out a quick reminder of our upcoming user group meeting (UG 14!!) on October 22nd at 4 pm in the 511 building. We're working on getting a web meeting set up, however, we've had some technical difficulties, so it would be better to be there in person (hint, hint). Ok, last item, a call for Agenda items. I'm planning to send out the initial agenda on Monday, so please send me any items you'd like added to the agenda and I'll get them on there. We've got a lot to talk about this quarter, so see you all on the 22nd! Thanks! s *Shaun Carlson*Senior Manager of Information Technology | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson(a)arvig.com
