Poor form Clayton.  This type of response is not helpful or constructive.

AS209 / Qwest / CenturyLink

2013-12-16 Thread Kenny Kant
Could someone from Qwest/CenturyLink AS209 contact me off list.  We have
two prefixes which are incorrectly being announced from this AS.  I'm sure
its an old configuration from days gone by.

If there is a better / correct procedure to request help for this please
let me know.


Thanks!

Upstream / Handoff UPS?

2013-10-30 Thread Kenny Kant
We have tons of circuits with various providers.  Often times the demarc /
handoff switch from the provider is not running on battery backup.
 Sometimes if the demarc device is located in the same room as our
equipment we mitigate this and plug the device into our backup systems.

Am I wrong to think that the demarc from the provider is a sacred thing
that should only be touched by said provider.  Thus they should provide
their own battery system?  Is it normal for this equipment not to be
battery protected?  We are not dealing with any crazy SLA's however I think
it would be standard build practice to put UPS's on your gear.  Even if its
small handoff switch sitting right next to my switch.

Re: which firewall product?

2013-08-05 Thread Kenny Kant
If the tunnel is to be terminated on this firewall device I would say look into 
a Mikrotik box.  Alternatively you could make Cisco's IOS firewall / zone based 
firewall do this.  So look into an ISR?

 Hi folks,
 
 I'm trying to identify a firewall appliance for one of my customers.
 The wrinkle is: it has to be able to inspect packets inside an IPIP
 tunnel and accept/reject based on IP address, TCP port number and
 standard things like that. On the packet carried *inside* the IPIP
 tunnel packet.
 
 
 From what I can tell, the Cisco ASA can't do this.
 
 Linux iptables can (with the u32 match module) but the customer wants
 an appliance, not a server.
 
 What appliances do you know of that can do this? Is there a different
 Cisco box? A Juniper firewall? Anything else?
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Bill Herrin

IP allocations / bogon - verification

2013-08-01 Thread Kenny Kant
Gang,

I apologize for a double post on this same topic tonight however I thought
that broadening my request may help our cause.  This month we had one of
our IP allocations revoked and just recently got everything squared away
with ARIN and things are turned back on so to speak.

However I still have some customers having issues hitting a number of
financial related websites ..etc and I assume its because of bogons ..etc

I saw some earlier posts on here where folks have posted their allocation
to ensure that others are routing it properly so I wanted to do the same.

My allocation which has recently been revived:  66.185.0.0/20

Test point traceroute .etc  66.185.0.198

We do seem to be having some issues with some level 3 routing our range to
some desitnations and can provide specifics off list.

Thanks all for  the help / verification.

 Hi all,
 
 I'm looking for a way to block individual TCP flows (5-tuple) on a 1-10 gbps
 link, with new blocked flows being dropped within a millisecond or so of
 being
 added. I've been looking into using OpenFlow on an HP Procurve, but I don't
 know much in this area, so I'm looking for better alternatives.
 
 Ideally, such a device would add minimal latency (many/expandable CAM
 entries?), can handle many programatically added flows (hundreds per
 second),
 and would be deployable in a production network (fails in bypass mode). Are
 there any
 COTS devices I should be looking at? Or is the market for this all under
 the table to
 pro-censorship governments?
 
 Thanks,
