Re: Normal config window?

The current routing config install windows are from 05:00 - 08:00 EST on Tue and Fri mornings. Starting this week, we will be adding an additional window on Thur morning from 05:00 - 08:00 EST. We need the additional window for the next couple of months in order to complete the remaining T3 AS cutovers. We need to send one of two signals to the routing daemon in order to install the new configuration file: kill -USR1 or kill -USR2. A kill -USR1 just re-reads the new configuration file into the rcp_routed. A kill -USR2 is a little more severe and actually briefly stops and restarts the rcp_routed. This results in a brief period of down EGP/BGP sessions and loss of connectivity, and it usually takes about 5 minutes for all backbone routing to re-converge. These kills get done on the RCPs on the T1 backbone, and on the CNSS, DNSS, or ENSS boxes on the T3 backbone. The severity of the kill and whether a kill needs to be done at all depends on the type of change/addition made in the new configuration file for that node. Most sites running EGP will only need a kill -USR1, while most sites using BGP need a kill -USR2, or an equivalent (stopping and restarting the BGP session), to install the new changes. Adding or deleting a peer always takes a kill -USR2 to the node. Adding a new ENSS to the T3 backbone requires that a kill -USR2 be done on each backbone node to enable the new IBGP sessions. A few exceptions: On the T3 backbone, ENSS 134 (Boston) and ENSS 135 (San Diego) have explicitly configured outbound announcements in order to give them the T1 backbone route (129.140) without also sending them all the other routes coming in from the T1 backbone via the interconnects. Installing any new T3 routes always requires a kill -USR2 on E134 and E135 (usually each config day). The active T1/T3 interconnects in Ann Arbor and Houston also almost always need a kill -USR2 or the equivalent with each configuration update. The kills usually take place in a serial fashion but can begin at varying times during the window, depending on the workload, special problems, and when we or the NOC can schedule the time to do the kills. Each window is usually quite unique, except that the interconnects are usually done last. Sometimes we piggy-back the routing configuration installs on top of some other backbone-wide software update that gets scheduled on the same night, to minimize down time. Sometimes all the kills can be accomplished in 15-20 minutes, while other times we literally need the entire window, because we wait for routing to readjust on one node before disrupting routing on the next node. If we are doing kill -USR2s on the entire T3 backbone, we'll usually do all boxes at each POP at the same time. --Steve Widmayer Merit/NSFNET

BGP Deployment Group Meeting
by Jessica Yu 09 Mar '92

09 Mar '92

Hi, The BGP Deployment Group Meeting is scheduled at 7-10 pm Tue Mar. 17 at this comming IETF meeting at San Diego. One of the topics will be discussed in this session is the mechanism for each domain to describe its routing policy and share them. As you know, sharing routing policy information is a means in helping avoiding domains set contradictary routing policies which leads packets go nowhere. It is importand for the enviroment which use routing protocols supports policy routing. Developing the sharing mechanism is one of the goal of this group. As a start, in our meeting at this ietf, we are going to develope a routing policy description form which hopefully will include all the policy descriptions we think is necessary to share. The policy description language in this form will be plain English initially but will be evolving to a common description language understood by machine. we will also discuss the mechansim of gathering and destribution of the form. I came up with a draft form which include some suggests from Yakov (thanks Yakov). I am including this draft form below. Please read it before our meeting and bring your comments and suggestions. Thanks! By the way, I will post an agenda shortly. --Jessica Routing Policy Description Form (Draft) ------------------------------- A. General Description of your domain a. List your Domain and the AS number(s) b. List the Routing administrator of the Domain Name: Organization: e-mail: phone number: c. List the networks that belong to your domain and mark them with RE or non-RE type if applicable. d. List your direct neighbor domain(s) and its AS number(s) e. List each IP address of your border router(s) which interface with your neighbor border router(s) and the Exterior Routing Protocol(s) used respectivly. f. Are your domain a Stub domain? Multi-homed Stub domain? Transit domain? Pure Transit domain? g. List the IGP used within your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) h. Describe the average bandwidth of your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) i. Describe the delay characteristic of average physical links, e.g. satellite, terriestrial, of your domain (optional for a non-transit domain) B. Policy Descriptions If you are a stub domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the set of nets belong to your domain that you do not advertise to your neighbor. o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Does your border router default to your neighbor border router? If you are a multi-homed stub domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the nets belong to your domain that you do not advertise to your neighbors. o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o List the prefrence/denial of the neighbor ASs which can route your traffic to the same destination. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Do you point default to your neighbor(s)? If yes, describe the mechanism. If you are a transit domain: o Outbound advertisement filtering: list the nets belong to you (not a pure transit domain) that you do not advertise advertise to your direct neighbors o Inbound acceptance filtering: list the set of ASs whose nets you do or (do not) accept from your neighbor(s) If AS number is not a satisfactory granularity, list the set of nets. o List the paris of source/destination ASs or nets that your domain does not provide transitivity with. o List the prefrence/denial of the ASs which can route your traffic to a certain destination. o Describe your routing policy based on your AUP (e.g. RE vs non-RE traffic, etc.) o Do you point default to your neighbor(s)? If yes, describe the mechanism.

CERT Advisory - AIX REXD Daemon Vulnerability
by CERT Advisory 05 Mar '92

05 Mar '92

=========================================================================== CA-92:05 CERT Advisory March 5, 1992 AIX REXD Daemon Vulnerability --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has received information concerning a vulnerability with the rexd daemon in versions 3.1 and 3.2 of AIX for IBM RS/6000 machines. IBM is aware of the problem and it will be fixed in future updates to AIX 3.1 and 3.2. Sites may call IBM Support (800-237-5511) and ask for the patch for apar ix21353. Patches may be obtained outside the U.S. by contacting your local IBM representative. The fix is also provided below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Description In certain configurations, particularly if NFS is installed, the rexd (RPC remote program execution) daemon is enabled. Note: Installing NFS with the current versions of "mknfs" will re-enable rexd even if it was previously disabled. II. Impact If a system allows rexd connections, anyone on the Internet can gain access to the system as a user other than root. III. Solution CERT/CC and IBM recommend that sites take the following actions immediately. These steps should also be taken whenever "mknfs" is run. 1. Be sure the rexd line in /etc/inetd.conf is commented out by having a '#' at the beginning of the line: #rexd sunrpc_tcp tcp wait root /usr/etc/rpc.rexd rexd 100017 1 2. Refresh inetd by running the following command as root: refresh -s inetd --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CERT/CC wishes to thank Darren Reed of the Australian National University for bringing this vulnerability to our attention and IBM for their response to the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe that your system has been compromised, contact CERT/CC or your representative in FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). Internet E-mail: cert(a)cert.sei.cmu.edu Telephone: 412-268-7090 (24-hour hotline) CERT/CC personnel answer 7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. EST(GMT-5)/EDT(GMT-4), on call for emergencies during other hours. Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center (CERT/CC) Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890 Past advisories, information about FIRST representatives, and other information related to computer security are available for anonymous ftp from cert.sei.cmu.edu (192.88.209.5).

I am leaving SURAnet
by oleary＠sura.net 04 Mar '92

04 Mar '92

March 20th will be my last day working at SURAnet. During April and May I will be traveling around the country, visiting schools and looking for a place to live, work, and take classes. Please direct any technical inquiries regarding SURAnet to "noc(a)sura.net" rather than to me directly as my access to electronic mail will be intermittent at best. Working with each of you has been quite enjoyable, and I certainly hope to keep in touch with all of you in the future. It is safe to assume that the next place I will be working is on the Internet.... :-) Thanks, dave o'leary SURAnet Network Operations Mgr.
