Juniper Core Switching Upgrade
by Jay Hanke July 27, 2012

July 27, 2012

The MICE Steering Committee is please to announce we have received enough pledges to upgrade our MICE Core Switches. We will be purchasing the following configuration. EX4500-40F-VC1-FB 40 ports of 1G/10G SFP(+) EX4200-24T 24 port of 10/100/1000baseT We are planning to deploy these switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration just as the current switches are configured. We can also tack on SFP or SFP+ modules and get the MICE special pricing. If your company needs an optic for the new switches please contact me. All fiber connections or 10G connections will connect to the 4500. All copper connections will connect to the EX4200. The new switches will provide additional 10G ports required for the continued growth of traffic on MICE. Unlike our existing configuration, these switches will be the sole property of MICE. As part of the agreement with Juniper the existing core switches will be returned. We are looking for a volunteer(s) to oversee the migration and execute the cut. If you're interested please contact Jay. A special thanks to the all contributing members and for Juniper for assisting in making this happen! Thanks!

IP Address Space
by Jay Hanke July 27, 2012

July 27, 2012

Our current agreement for IP address space is expiring in October. I think this would be a good time to move to our own address space directly from ARIN. To acquire end user address space from ARIN there is a one time fee of $1250. Can we get some pledges?

Jay's Third proposal
by Jay Hanke July 24, 2012

July 24, 2012

After a bunch of discussion both on and off the list, my thinking has changed a little bit. I liked the lump payment with 10G ports idea that Mr Hoyos brought forward. Also, I like the idea of everyone paying "something". Assuming free colo for long term (3-5 years) So how about the $5000 payment for new 10G ports on the main switch and $250 annually for each IP assignment on the fabric regardless of access method (be it remote or main switch). -- Jay Hanke CTO, CCIE #19093 Mankato Networks LLC PO Box 54 619 S Front St Mankato, MN 56001-3838 Google 530-618-2398 jayhanke(a)mankatonetworks.net http://www.mankatonetworks.com ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

3rd Proposal Model
by Jay Hanke July 24, 2012

July 24, 2012

http://mankatonetworks.com/wordpress/?p=262 This is the 3rd proposal model. I added legal fees and dropped back to 1 EX4500 switch rather than 2. -- Jay Hanke CTO, CCIE #19093 Mankato Networks LLC PO Box 54 619 S Front St Mankato, MN 56001-3838 Google 530-618-2398 jayhanke(a)mankatonetworks.net http://www.mankatonetworks.com ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1

Juniper Upgrade
by Jay Hanke July 23, 2012

July 23, 2012

As you may be aware, a waiting list is starting to form for 10G ports on the main switch. The Juniper switches in the core are on long term demo and will need to be returned to the pool at some point. In addition, there are members that are looking for 10G LAG connections to the main switch. I talked to Juniper and they will allow us to swap our existing stack of EX4200's for a steeply discounted EX4500. http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/switching/ex-series/ex4500/ The new switch would give us 40 1G/10G ports and the ability to add additional shelves in the future with 128 Gb/s VC uplinks. If there was sufficient interest and support I believe we could deploy a set out of the gate to provide redundancy. The plan would be to move anyone with a FastEthernet connection to one of the remote switches. After the trade in, the cost to MICE would be $4485 + $1158 (Next Day Support) + any sales taxes (if any). MICE would own the switch. None of the current switches are owned by MICE and their use is at the whim of their respective owners. This would prevent any of the members from taking their ball and going home. We already have a pledge of $3000 for the upgrade from an existing MICE member.

Port Fees Model
by Jay Hanke July 23, 2012

July 23, 2012

I've been getting peppered with calls this morning regarding port fees this morning. I posted a copy on my blog. I changed a couple of the assumptions mainly including hardware right away. http://mankatonetworks.com/wordpress/?p=258 -- Jay Hanke CTO, CCIE #19093 Mankato Networks LLC PO Box 54 619 S Front St Mankato, MN 56001-3838 Google 530-618-2398 jayhanke(a)mankatonetworks.net http://www.mankatonetworks.com ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
