Re: Test Lab Best Practices
++ all that was said thus far. Physical equipment with console access is the best way to test software/firmware issues. As for virtualization, it's great for expanding your topology quickly. Use a virtual bridge in GNS3 or EVE-NG and you can make your smaller footprint physical lab into a larger topology with ease -- especially around cabling. It also allows you to do packet generation & link simulation (packet loss, jitter) much easier. You can even couple it with T-Rex. - Mark
Re: Canadian regulator CRTC hires private company to investigate 2022 Rogers outage
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) confirmed in an email it hired engineering consultant Xona Partners in May to provide a report on the Rogers network and "help inform what further regulatory action is needed." I think we all know the "regulatory action" we /want/. I just don't it's the action that CRTC will deliver -- if any. -- Mark Prosser // E:m...@zealnetworks.ca // W:https://zealnetworks.ca
Feedback requested - 6WIND VSRs
Hello, Does anyone in the ML have experience with 6WIND's VSR platform for private cloud / on-prem? The feature set sounds very good in the EVPN-SR domains. It also sounds a bit like the Fast, good, cheap venn diagram. If so, please let me know your thoughts in regards to support, stability, warnings. Warm regards, Mark
Re: JunOS/FRR/Nokia et al BGP critical issue
Thanks for sharing this, Mike. I saw it on lobste.rs yesterday and figured everyone would be ahead. I'm running VyOS in a volunteer WISP but not with BGP peering... I'm thinking to test it now as we'll likely swap in VyOS for it soon. I saw this PR as a reply on Mastodon: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/14290 Warm regards, Mark
Re: JunOS config yacc grammar?
Sorry, I don't know the answer to your initial inquiry | We already have cron jobs running on the switches that tftp the config file to a server, and I'd prefer to leverage off that. Perhaps an easy interim adaptation would be to modify your scheduled job to tftp the latest xml or json then clean it up? root@BB6> ...on | display xml | save /config/junos-config-latest.xml Wrote 139 lines of output to '/config/junos-config-latest.xml' root@BB6> ...n | save /config/junos-config-latest.json Wrote 169 lines of output to '/config/junos-config-latest.json' root@BB6> root@BB6> file list /config/ | grep latest junos-config-latest.json junos-config-latest.xml root@BB6> Hope you find the final solution, as the parser checks sound worth the squeeze.
