access to sealandqualityfoods.com from Calgary

2020-03-16 Thread David Charlebois
Hi
Anyone in the Calgary area able to do a quick test? I'm troubleshooting
access to sealandqualityfoods.com (resolving as 34.95.13.225 for me). Site
is fine from where I am in Ontario, but reported down in Calgary. I do not
know what, if any errror messages are being seen from a browser in Calgary.
Just looking for more details is the server responding, is there are
routing issue, etc.
I'm reviewing some BGP looking-glass output now to determine if there is
evidence of an issues
Thanks in advance.
Dave


Re: Last Week's Canadian Fiber Cut

2017-08-15 Thread David Charlebois
Just read this on http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/bell-aliant-says-
double-cable-cut-that-led-to-cell-outages-was-perfect-storm-1.3547018

"Bell spokesman Nathan Gibson says the first cut was by a highway
construction crew near Drummondville, Que.

He says service wasn't impacted in any significant way because of
redundancy in the network until a second major cut near Richibucto, N.B.,
by a logging company in a densely forested location.

He says the second cut was difficult to access and took some time to locate
precisely, and the site's inaccessibility slowed the arrival of heavy
equipment and repair crews."

Re: Temperature monitoring

2017-07-16 Thread David Charlebois
we use: https://serverscheck.com/sensors/ - simple setup, graph nicely in
Cacti. I went with ServerCheck wired based units + external temp+humidity
probe. The base unit displays the temperature which is a nice quick
reference if you are in the room.

Re: Common Reliable Out Of Band Management Options at Carrier Hotels

2017-01-20 Thread David Charlebois
We use a Lantronix serial console box (SLC-32) with a small Cisco ASA 5505
+ isolated internet. VPN is setup to assign IPs in the OOB network which
allows direct access to most management IPs as well as console ports
through the Lantronix. I also have a desktop connected with a 2nd NIC (and
no gateway on the interface pointing to the OOB) which allows me to bounce
to prod network. I love my out of band setup. I don't know your definition
of "reasonably priced", but this setup works great!

Re: 1GE L3 aggregation

2016-06-22 Thread David Charlebois
Hello
I'm curious about the overall recommendation when selecting a small class
BGP router for IPv6 (with 1gig ports). We can see the current IPv4 routing
table is around 615k routes and the IPv6 routing table is sitting around
~31k routes.

In our case, we advertise a single /24 from our head office to 2 upstream
providers. The routing is %100 for redundancy.

Somebody mentioned that the Brocade CER-RT was once a best seller. Brocade
are now offering the CER 4X-RT version at 256K IPv6 routes supported (1.5M
IPv4 routes). We don't have immediate plans for IPv6, but I do foresee this
in a few year. Question is - is 256k IPv6 routes suitable?

Thanks
Dave
