Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities
Yes that's what I was thinking too, use RD as merely an arbitrary VPN ID. And then I realized that even though I could use these tools for documenting the VRF config after the fact But I can't use these with automated service provisioning. I need my automated service provisioning tool to query the RT DB in order to allocate next available RT from a pool e.g. "l3vpn-small-customers-pool1". adam > -Original Message- > From: Gustav Ulander > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2018 3:34 PM > To: adamv0...@netconsultings.com; 'Roger Wiklund' > > Cc: 'Juniper List' > Subject: RE: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities > > Hello there, > > Same issue with PHPIPAM. > RDs are the unique identifier and always mapping towards the VRF name. > You can add custom fields to VRFs where you can place your RTs. > If you are running a unique RD per PE the VRF is configured in then the RD is > not that important anyway it’s the RTs that important. > We run the above setup and just do a fake RD per VRF since its always > changing depending on the PE you look at. > Of course if you really want to do it properly you would probably want to > note every PEs instance of each VRF together with the RTs to document it > properly. > > //Gustav > > -Original Message- > From: juniper-nsp On Behalf Of > adamv0...@netconsultings.com > Sent: den 17 december 2018 13:51 > To: 'Roger Wiklund' > Cc: 'Juniper List' > Subject: Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities > > Yes I tried NINAP, but as others IPAM tools out there it has this 1:1 > relationship between VRF and RT > > I could hack around this and use the main RT thing as sort of an arbitrary ID > (or main VRF RT) and add the actual/additional RTs as TAGs. > > Tried the same thing in netbox. > > But these are hacks in a sense, working around the base limitation that is > these DBs are maintaining VRFs and assigning RTs to those -I need it to be the > other way around.

Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities
Hello there, Same issue with PHPIPAM. RDs are the unique identifier and always mapping towards the VRF name. You can add custom fields to VRFs where you can place your RTs. If you are running a unique RD per PE the VRF is configured in then the RD is not that important anyway it’s the RTs that important. We run the above setup and just do a fake RD per VRF since its always changing depending on the PE you look at. Of course if you really want to do it properly you would probably want to note every PEs instance of each VRF together with the RTs to document it properly. //Gustav -Original Message- From: juniper-nsp On Behalf Of adamv0...@netconsultings.com Sent: den 17 december 2018 13:51 To: 'Roger Wiklund' Cc: 'Juniper List' Subject: Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities Yes I tried NINAP, but as others IPAM tools out there it has this 1:1 relationship between VRF and RT I could hack around this and use the main RT thing as sort of an arbitrary ID (or main VRF RT) and add the actual/additional RTs as TAGs.

Yes I tried NINAP, but as others IPAM tools out there it has this 1:1 relationship between VRF and RT I could hack around this and use the main RT thing as sort of an arbitrary ID (or main VRF RT) and add the actual/additional RTs as TAGs. Tried the same thing in netbox.

Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities
+1 for PHPIPAM. It's code is clean and super-easy to modify if needed, and it has GUI built-ins to add custom fields. -Original Message- From: juniper-nsp [mailto:juniper-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Roger Wiklund Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2018 7:09 AM To: adamv0...@netconsultings.com Cc: Juniper List Subject: Re: [j-nsp] IPAM like tool/DB for managing communities NIPAP maybe? http://spritelink.github.io/NIPAP/ Personally I like phpIPAM, it's quite easy to add custom stuff. https://phpipam.net On Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 10:30 AM wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'm just wondering if anyone happens to know about a tool that can be used > to manage BGP communities (standard/extended/large communities). > > I'd appreciate any pointers > > Thanks > > > > adam > > > > netconsultings.com > > ::carrier-class solutions for the telecommunications industry:: > > > > > > ___ > juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp > ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
