MICE BFD Errors

MICE Core Switch Card Upgrade
by Richard Laager Feb. 7, 2024

Feb. 7, 2024

Date & Time Wednesday, February 14 at 15:00 US/Central Description Jeremy will swap a (now unused) 10G line card for a 100G line card in the Arista core switch at 511. There is no expected impact for most participants. In the (relatively unlikely) event that a fiber cable is physically in the way and he has to unplug it to remove/install the card, he will disable BGP for that participant first and wait (unless the port is part of a LAG with sufficient excess capacity at that time of day). The Fiber Minnesota and Minnesota VoIP remote switches are connected by 3x100G LAG. Jeremy will move one port from each LAG from card 6 to the new card. Rollback Plan If there is some problem, the new 100G card can be removed. The ports in the Fiber Minnesota and Minnesota VoIP remote switches can be moved back to card 6. -- Richard

BGP ADD-PATH capability
by Richard Laager Jan. 24, 2024

Jan. 24, 2024

I propose that MICE enable BGP ADD-PATH capability (RFC 7911) on the route servers (in TX mode only). This is negotiated BGP capability, so we do not need any per-participant setting for it. ADD-PATH is useful if the best path route is being filtered but another route would not be. We discussed adding this at a UG meeting years ago. There are other IXPs that have this enabled. For example, this one: https://www.bcix.de/ixp/content/0/route-servers In terms of timeline, I propose something like this: * January 9: Enable it on Route Server 1. * January 16: Enable it on Route Server 2. The actual change looks like this for the RS1-only piece, and then the conditional would be removed when we want to deploy to RS2: --- a/roles/ixpmanager/files/mice/api/v4/router/server/bird2/neighbors.foil.php +++ b/roles/ixpmanager/files/mice/api/v4/router/server/bird2/neighbors.foil.php @@ -315,6 +315,9 @@ protocol bgp pb_<?= $int['fvliid'] ?>_as<?= $int['autsys'] ?> from tb_rsclient { import filter f_import_as<?= $int['autsys'] ?>; table t_<?= $int['fvliid'] ?>_as<?= $int['autsys'] ?>; export filter f_export_as<?= $int['autsys'] ?>; +<?php if( $t->router->router_id == "206.108.255.1" ): ?> + add paths tx; +<?php endif; ?> }; <?php if( $int['bgpmd5secret'] && !$t->router->skip_md5 ): ?> password "<?= $int['bgpmd5secret'] ?>"; -- Richard

MICE Maintenance 2024-01-18 & 2024-01-19
by Richard Laager Jan. 8, 2024

Jan. 8, 2024

Date & Time January 18, 00:00 - 05:00 US/Central January 19, 00:00 - 05:00 US/Central Description Our underlying fiber provider will be doing maintenance on the connection from 511 to Ridgeview. They are attempting to repair some other fiber issues. We may or may not go down. If we did go down, participants on the 511 side would see a loss of BGP to Route Server 2. -- Richard

Route servers?
by Miles McCredie Jan. 3, 2024

Jan. 3, 2024

FWIW, the AS11232 sessions to route server 2 have been active for about 25 minutes. https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs2-ipv4 and https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs2-ipv6 <https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs2-ipv6%20show%20that%20AS11232> show quite a few other ASNs that are not established. https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs1-ipv4 and https://ixpmgr.micemn.net/lg/rs1-ipv6 show more not-established sessions than I would expect but fewer than rs2. I haven't looked more closely at the impact to routing yet. Any details about the work in progress?

UG 44 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager Sept. 25, 2023

Sept. 25, 2023

The MICE UG 44 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 25, 3:00 pm at UMN. Here are the details (parking, etc.) from last time: https://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MICE-DISCUSS;2c503e19.2209 An updated Zoom link will be coming. *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, Anthony'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 (so until the end of October 7).* * * *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

Gateway Fiber ribbon cutting
by Michael Horwath Sept. 14, 2023

Sept. 14, 2023

They had that this moring at 1000 hours in Blaine. I made a joke to my friend that I wonder how many of 3 of us will be there. Well, I got a surprise as there were at least 8 folks who were not affilitated with the event. Talking to a couple of folks - would like to have customers up by end of year in Blaine - my area (Coon Rapids) would come afterwards but could not get them to commit or ‘about 6 months’ - GPON for delivery - using Comlink Solutions for the pulls - 511 is on their radar - mentioned expanding south from Blaine into SLP, Mounds View - mentioned expanding north-west into Andover I mentioned MICE and gave el-presidente my email address to contact me, and the website URL And I did not get a pic of their pricing flyer! But 2Gbps bidirectional is $150/month but I cannot remember the lower speeds cause I didn’t care :) -- Mike Horwath, reachable via drechsau(a)Geeks.ORG
