We lost our route to Omaha IX via Zayo around 2:04 PM CST. Got a ticket in with Zayo. Anyone else down to Omaha via Zayo? Jeff Dahna Windomnet

Our link from Sioux City to Minneapolis went down around 2:10 today. This is getting out of hand. I think we've experienced outages every other week for almost 2 months now along with the outage lasting 16+ hours. Does anyone have recommendations for diverse routes up to 511?

Thanks everyone. Another MICE member reached out to me directly and said they had a similar problem with this Brocade "feature" and advised me how to filter this unwanted traffic. The port now appears to be online and I can re-enable my peering tonight.

Thanks, Jeremy. I was hoping you could provide just that sort of detail. I'm just not sure how there would be multiple coming from my side when this is a P2P link and the switch port is in route-only mode; I may have to work with Brocade on that. I will look into it, but can you tell me if the MAC addresses appear to be all from the same vendor?

We are seeing Port security errors on your port for too many Mac addresses. The industry standard is one Mac address, however currently mice allows up to five.

I have a problem with my MICE connection and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some direction. On September 9th, my predecessor disabled our port facing MICE due to BGP flapping (his description). Since there was chatter on this board about a fiber cut that day, he thought it was related to that. Unfortunately, when I re-enabled the port, I saw similar behavior. BGP seems to flap about every three minutes, and my log indicates that link is actually dropping on that port. Even though light levels never seem to drop below -4.4db, I had Cologix check the cross connect, clean the ends of the fiber, and re-seat the sfp. None of that helped. On Wednesday I replaced the SFP, but when I enabled the port, I still saw the same behavior. Last night I disabled all of my BGP peers and brought the port back online for further layer2 testing, but I can't ping any of my peers and I'm not seeing any arp entries on this port. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on or what I should check next? I've included my port config below for reference. The log entries associated with this problem are: Oct 22 08:17:33:I:SYSTEM: port 2/4 link fault status is cleared(physical link goes down 24) Oct 22 08:17:33:I:SYSTEM: port 2/4 is down( local fault) Oct 22 08:17:33:I:System: Interface ethernet 2/4, state down - local fault Oct 22 08:17:09:I:System: Interface ethernet 2/4, state up Oct 22 08:16:45:W: Latched low RX Power warning, port 2/4 Oct 22 08:16:45:A: Latched low RX Power alarm, port 2/4 interface ethernet 2/4 port-name BGP peering with MICE Arista 5/19 XC23175 load-interval 30 no fdp enable no cdp enable route-only ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 no spanning-tree sflow forwarding !

MICE UG 33
by Richard Laager Oct. 15, 2019

Oct. 15, 2019

Reminder: UG 33 is on Wednesday of this week (October 16) at 3:00pm Remote Conferencing: 952-562-5400 passcode MICE (6423) Location: 511 Building Cafeteria Agenda The agenda is attached. I'm behind on getting this out, so I didn't send a separate call for agenda. If you have something to add, let me know ASAP and I'll send an updated agenda. I'd like to try the modified ordering again. The idea here is to group business (official reports and things that could involve a motion/vote) before open discussion. This way, people who are not interested in the discussion can leave earlier if they wish, confident that they won't miss an official motion/vote. By shortening the "mandatory" part of the meeting, this may make the meetings more accessible. I'd like to give this a try for a couple meetings and see what people think. The UG 32 draft minutes are also attached. -- Richard

Re: Zayo Maintenance??
by Tim Fjeld Oct. 14, 2019

Oct. 14, 2019

Zayo was in our DC Tuesday afternoon. They were working their way north from Omaha testing fibers and verifying connections in effort to finalize turn up of their new transport equipment. I would imagine the outage might be related to that project, but cannot say with certainty. Tim Fjeld City of Windom

MN VoIP Remote Upgrade
by Jeremy Lumby Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

In accordance with the MICE remote switch operator guidelines, MN VoIP will be upgrading their remote switch and uplink to the MICE core on the afternoon of October 11th at approx 2PM to keep uplink utilization under 66% of the link capacity. Prior to the maintenance, BGP will be blocked so traffic can gracefully reroute. During the maintenance connectivity will be down for approximately 15 minutes. A 100G switch will be added between the existing MN VoIP extension and the MICE core. This switch will not only increase the MN VoIP uplink from 40G to 100G, it will also make 32 100G ports available to anyone wishing to connect to MICE via MN VoIP @ 100G. I will send out a notification to the discuss list right before I commence with the maintenance.
