LLDP via SNMP
by freedman＠freedman.net 27 May '16

27 May '16

Have had the question come up a few times, so I wanted to poll the community to see... For those who are monitoring LLDP, how have you found the SNMP MIB support support for it on Juniper, Cisco, Brocade, Arista, and others? Wondering if you've needed to resort to CLI scraping or APIs to get the data? Thanks, Avi Freedman CEO, Kentik

I can't speak to Brocade (just haven't been to a customer recently who has their kit and wants topology), but I've found support from Juniper, Cisco, and Arista to be very good. As long as the device software load is reasonably modern and LLDP is lit up everywhere, topology usually just works. We added LLDP support a couple years ago to OpenNMS' L2/L3 link-discovery service daemon (on top of CDP, IS-IS, and OSPF). Everything is done via SNMP, for now anyway. If you read Java, you can profit from our experience by sifting through the various LLDP-related classes in our code here: https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/ Tangentially, we've also been working on integration with OpenDaylight, which pretty much demands going ReSTful to gather underlay and overlay topology data. -jeff

GRE on ASR9001
by Rukka Pal 27 May '16

27 May '16

Anyone here running GRE tunnels between ASR9001series? I am planning to connect some special-purpose remote sites to my core infra using unencrypted GRE tunnels and OSPF routing. The estimated bandwidth requirements are between 500Mbps and several Gbps. I am not planning to use MPAs, instead the fixed 10G ports I believe this should present no significant problems to the ASR9001, just wanted to get a confirmation. Thanks!

Frontier routing issue?

Is anyone else in the north east seeing routing issues on frontier right now? Unable to get to many websites. Trace route seems to complete fine but you can't bring up any content.

Yeah. We run all of our IXIA gear 24/7 in automated feature/regression testing. We are looking into high density layer 1 packet switches so we can automate physical topology changes as well.

LACP Frames / Level3 Transport
by Nevin Gonsalves 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi Nanog-ers, Hoping someone may have come across a similar issue. Has anyone ever seen a situation where maybe like a Level3 transport system could be possibly dropping LACP frames..? End point A - tx and rx counts incrementing for LACP LACP info: Role System System Port Port Port priority identifier priority number key et-0/0/0.0 Actor 127 5c:45:27:6d:2a:c0 127 56 16 et-0/0/0.0 Partner 1 00:00:00:00:00:00 127 56 16 LACP Statistics: LACP Rx LACP Tx Unknown Rx Illegal Rx et-0/0/0.0 6925 6922 0 0 End Point B - no RX, partner macs are 0s.. LACP info: Role System System Port Port Port priority identifier priority number key et-9/1/0.0 Actor 127 5c:45:27:77:d6:c4 127 68 16 et-9/1/0.0 Partner 1 00:00:00:00:00:00 1 68 16 LACP Statistics: LACP Rx LACP Tx Unknown Rx Illegal Rx et-9/1/0.0 0 6752 0 0 Link works fine otherwise outside the aggregate and w/o LACP. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. thanks, -nevin

Network traffic simulator
by Mitchell Lewis 24 May '16

24 May '16

Hi,I am looking to validate the performance specs of a core router. I am looking for a network traffic simulator which can simulate 40 gbps of traffic. I am looking for a simulator with sfp+ ports. I am interested in any input as to brands to look at, build one myself etc. Thanks,Mitchell
