I've used FootPrints in the past with very good success. It not only served our change management processes but also help desk trouble ticketing. Its very customizable and quite affordable. http://www.unipress.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean Donelan [mailto:sean@donelan.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 11:09 PM > To: nanog(a)merit.edu > Subject: Network inventory and configuration tracking tools > > > > > How about an operations oriented question.

signature

After many on and off list responses my signature stays....For anyone who believes that professing my faith is self-serving..then i agree. If you want to know why ask me off list. Let's focus on the task at hand and not make such a fuss over a sig. Ironically my impetus comes from an off list response and i quote," As an avid athiest and his sig has been in place for over 4 years..and is much larger than mine....(around 20+ lines) My sig is now 4 lines. William Warren Faithwalk.org -- May God Bless you and everything you touch. My "foundation" verse: Isiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.

Sal Sabella During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. Genesis 14:15 Since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea. Numbers 14:25 Then all of you came to me and said, "Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to." Deuteronomy 1:22 So about three thousand men went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai Joshua 7:4 At Barak's advance, the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot. Judges 4:15 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites. 1 Samuel 7:10 He shot arrows and scattered the enemies , bolts of lightning and routed them. 2 Samuel 22:15 Communicate in total privacy.

RE: Deaggregating for emergency purposes
by ril_phosenthal＠hushmail.com 07 Aug '02

I agree that the thread needs to die. Anything useful that could be said has been said, and I'm the one who said it. The end result is, the proper thing to do is make sure your upstream allows you to announce any more specifics than what you have in the IRR. They should not limit the number of announcements they hear, either. Equipment is cheap enough that upstreams should provide a dedicated 7200-series router for each customer. Filters should also apply to everone but me. I have excellent connections and clue to spare, and want everyone to trust my announcements. I'm almost a Tier 1 now, but unfortunately the old Tier 1's don't understand this. Maybe their should be an IRR object where providers can indicate their clue level. Use your best judgment in deaggregating, and it is always better if you can get it fixed by having the offending party stop announcing, or their uplinks filter. However, this can be difficult, and sometimes take in excess of five minutes. It is far better for all providers to mirror each IRR every hour so I do not have to deal with this stress. Until secure BGP exists there's no reason not to take a brute force approach to squash out occasional misconfigurations that can be so painful to deal with when they do occur. The final piece to this puzzle is an OOB messaging protocol to tell all other providers to synchronize with the IRR emergency entries. Hijacking won't be a problem if we create another registry to authenticate OOB push messages. In fact, I think we can automate the entire NOC paradigm in favor of totally automated route management. --Ril Communicate in total privacy.
