Google Peering
by Tom Krenn
I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone else who might also have been waiting.
I had a peering session with Google approved via their ISP portal yesterday. So after a couple years it looks like they have their new system in place and appear to be accepting requests again.
Good luck!

Honestly I think the amount of work is minimal. I say that as the person that will probably be doing most of the work. There is even more that we should be doing to keep the IX clean and stable (like adding a quarantine VLAN to the turn-up process) which will add even more labor to the turn-up process.

Depends on the goal right? Stopping the 2 seconds of damage or recovering from 2 seconds of damage. (Ideally probably both.) But just throwing ideas out given the concerns being brought up with a static MAC ACL.

I think the way to think about it was the damage was done in 2 seconds (according to the syslog), however the switch did not automatically recover from those 2 seconds. So we need a method that will react quicker than 2 seconds like a MAC ACL.

I don't know the config of the switch but out of curiosity, would storm control help mitigate the impact on the forwarding table? We might still have 2-3 seconds of disruption but it may avoid the manual intervention and let us keep the more dynamic port security approach.

The issue was a member port. The port security took 2 seconds to shutdown the port, however 100G of traffic looped and crashed the forwarding table on the main switch, forcing manual intervention. A static MAC ACL on each port would not have taken time to react. This is what the SIX has been doing on their ports since 2010 (as well as multiple other layers of security).

Was the source of the issue a remote switch?
"
To be clear, this is still only for end ports, not ports facing remote
switches, of course. The remote switches are responsible for enforcing
the current MAC limit, and would be responsible for changing those
settings as described here."

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of HCMC. DO NOT CLICK links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
The error disable takes 1-2 seconds to clamp down and disable the
port. This results in a short, but severe, broadcast storm.
The churn rate on members changing mac addresses is fairly low.
I agree that we should automate the process so it can be done via
self-service by the members.

Re: Proposal: MICE Static MAC address Only
by Jeremy Lumby
I do not know that there is an official scope. I think things are just in the discussion stage. I do believe we all know what needs to be done, it is just about being motivated to get it all done (in this case a switch issue pushed it back to the front). There are plenty of IXes that have laid out and implemented best practices that have been proven in reality to work for them.

Could someone confirm the larger scope of this? Our remote switch indeed
has static mac ACLs. Unsure how others work.
If the goal here is to keep a static mac list on all access ports AND
remote switch ports (so my list must be replicated to the core switch)?
If so, lets be sure to consider operational issues. I'm unsure how mac
ACLs work on arista, but is there a risk to block all mac addresses
while the changes is being made if done incorrectly? (think the classic
IOS 'switchport trunk allowed vlan 123..')?
If this is being done by humans, hoping the procedure is documented and
repeatable (a copy paste to do it). Or better yet, but our machine
overlords (via NAPALM?)

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] Proposal: MICE Static MAC address Only
by Jeremy Lumby
Honestly I think the amount of work is minimal. I say that as the person that will probably be doing most of the work. There is even more that we should be doing to keep the IX clean and stable (like adding a quarantine VLAN to the turn-up process) which will add even more labor to the turn-up process.

Depends on the goal right? Stopping the 2 seconds of damage or recovering from 2 seconds of damage. (Ideally probably both.) But just throwing ideas out given the concerns being brought up with a static MAC ACL.

I think the way to think about it was the damage was done in 2 seconds (according to the syslog), however the switch did not automatically recover from those 2 seconds. So we need a method that will react quicker than 2 seconds like a MAC ACL.

I don't know the config of the switch but out of curiosity, would storm control help mitigate the impact on the forwarding table? We might still have 2-3 seconds of disruption but it may avoid the manual intervention and let us keep the more dynamic port security approach.

The issue was a member port. The port security took 2 seconds to shutdown the port, however 100G of traffic looped and crashed the forwarding table on the main switch, forcing manual intervention. A static MAC ACL on each port would not have taken time to react. This is what the SIX has been doing on their ports since 2010 (as well as multiple other layers of security).

The error disable takes 1-2 seconds to clamp down and disable the
port. This results in a short, but severe, broadcast storm.
The churn rate on members changing mac addresses is fairly low.
I agree that we should automate the process so it can be done via
self-service by the members.
