One-time port fees
by Jason Hanke June 16, 2016

June 16, 2016

There was quite a bit of talk regarding port fees at NANOG earlier this week. There was also seemingly universal accolades going to the SiX in Seattle. Here is the schedule of fees at the SiX: https://www.seattleix.net/join This may be a reasonable starting point for MICE. -- Jay Hanke CTO Neutral Path Communications 3 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 204 Mankato, MN 56001 (507) 327-2398 mobile jayhanke(a)neutralpath.net www.neutralpath.net

Airstream Additional 10G port
by Jason Hanke June 1, 2016

June 1, 2016

Airstream would like to add an additional 10G port. I have allocated port xe-2/0/20 on the main switch. This port will need to be in a LAG group with their existing port xe-0/0/20. Charles Monson is the primary contact within WIN. All IP addressing will remain the same. Could the Tech Committee reach out to coordinate. Thanks! -- Jay Hanke CTO Neutral Path Communications 3 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 204 Mankato, MN 56001 (507) 327-2398 mobile jayhanke(a)neutralpath.net www.neutralpath.net

Fwd: Route Server #1 - IPv6
by Jason Hanke June 1, 2016

June 1, 2016

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nathan Beard <nbeard(a)stellarllc.net> Date: Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 8:25 AM Subject: Route Server #1 - IPv6 To: peering(a)micemn.net Is there a particular reason why the IPv6 address for route server #1 is no longer reachable following the upgrades that were completed on the night of the 22nd? My IPv6 peering session to the first route server has been stuck in 'Active' state since right around that time and the IPv6 address is also not directly reachable (while route server #2 works fine): // BGP state for route server #1 session // 2001:504:27::d1af:0:1 0 53679 1675496 328107 0 0 0 1w2d Active // Ping to route server #1 // RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:STELLAR-511-ASR9006#ping ipv6 2001:504:27::d1af:0:1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:504:27::d1af:0:1, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5) // Ping to route server #2 // RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:STELLAR-511-ASR9006#ping ipv6 2001:504:27::d1af:0:2 Type escape sequence to abort.

www.micemn.net links
by Jonathan Stewart May 27, 2016

May 27, 2016

Hi, I was browsing the www.micemn.net site, and tripped over some 404s. On this page: http://micemn.net/resources.html The link to PeeringDB is broken, since peeringDB went to 2.0. The correct link is: https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/446 On this page: http://micemn.net/history.html The link to Cologix 511 is broken. It seems it should be: http://www.cologix.com/data-centers/minneapolis/min1/ Hope this message reaches the right people, Jonathan

Route Server BGP communities (& OS upgrades) - 5/22/2016
by Doug McIntyre May 23, 2016

May 23, 2016

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. Thanks. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades
