UG 46 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager Oct. 8, 2025

Oct. 8, 2025

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

Qwilt question
by Frank Bulk April 23, 2025

April 23, 2025

FiberNet's BGP peering with Qwilt at MICE has been down since Thursday, Feb 6 at 1:59 pm and our local Qwilt cache appliance's volume dropped to zero early Sunday afternoon. MICE graph shows nothing since Wednesday, February 5: http://micelg.usinternet.com/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=120… Anyone know what's up?

MICE 400G Switch
by Richard Laager March 22, 2025

March 22, 2025

The 400G switch has arrived. Jeremy racked the switch. It's a big one! We don't have a firm go-live date at this point, but it will be soon. If you are interested in 400G ports, the Order Form has been updated: https://micemn.net/files/MICE%20Order%20Form.docx (I've just sent this to mice-discuss so far. I'm thinking we'll send something to mice-announce once the switch is live. But if people think I should be sending it there now, I'm open to the suggestion.) -- Richard Laager Chief Manager, Director Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange LLC

Round 5 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby March 6, 2025

March 6, 2025

On Wednesday March 5th at approximately 1PM CST I will be moving the Arista 7504R (100Gig core switch) into the new cabinet, along with some remaining 10G connections on the switch, and all other equipment in cabinet 937. Prior to the migration BGP will be blocked on the specific participant's port to allow traffic to gracefully reroute. This is the fifth round of weekly moves and should complete migrating everything out of the existing cabinet. During this maintenance software on the 7504R switch, as well as route server 1 will be updated. There will be one final maintenance on the afternoon of Wednesday March 19 to move connections off of temp switches in the new cabinet. If you are interested in upgrading to 400Gig let us know ASAP so we can avoid double moves, and facilitate an easier transition for everyone. The full details of the move are: Virtual Host 1 (includes MICE Webserver, DNS server, IXP Manager, Route Server 1) Management Firewall Arista 7504R: Essentia - 3789 Old Ports: Et4/34 Et4/40 New Ports: E 4/42 E 4/41 30110 - Range Old Port: Et4/42 New Port: E 4/45 Management to Remote Switches Old Port: Et4/43 New Port: E 4/48 Yahoo 10310 Old Ports: Et4/44 Et4/48 New Ports: E 4/43 E 4/44 Virtual Host 1 Old Port: Et4/45 New Port: E 4/47 Xiber LLC 393950 Old Port: Et4/46 New Port: E 4/46 Jeremy Lumby Minnesota VoIP 9217 17th Ave S #216 Bloomington MN 55425 Main 612-355-7740 x211 Direct 612-392-6814 Fax 952-873-7425 jlumby(a)mnvoip.com

Round 2 - MICE Switch-Cabinet Migration
by Jeremy Lumby Feb. 26, 2025

Feb. 26, 2025

On Wednesday February 12th at approximately 1PM CST I will be migrating the following networks off of the Arista 7504R (100Gig core switch) to a temporary switch in the new cabinet/space that the 100G chassis will eventually be moved to at 511. Prior to the migration BGP will be blocked on the specific participant's port to allow traffic to gracefully reroute. This is the second round of weekly moves as everything is migrated out of the existing cabinet. If you are interested in upgrading to 400Gig let us know ASAP so we can avoid double moves, and facilitate an easier transition for everyone.
