ASR 1006 question
by Jeremy 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hey All, I think i may be noobing this one here, any help would be appreciated. We have an ASR1006 with a SIP and a 2x1gbps SPA. Right now we have: 2800 g0/0<----- -> ASR1006 g1/0/0 All we're trying to do is set an IP address on each interface so we can ping (192.168.1.1 on the 2800, 192.168.1.2 on the ASR). We have the IPs configured on both but it's just not working. The 2800 is fine, if we attach a laptop to it and ping it works as expected. However when we attach the laptop to the ASR no ARP or ICMP messages are sent from the ASR, wireshark shows no traffice what so ever. The Interface is up/up and it was a fresh config, all we've done is add the IP address. Any thoughts? This shouldn't be this hard so I must be overlooking something silly. Thanks! -Jeremy

OT: Server Cabinet
by Robert Lusby 05 May '11

05 May '11

Sorry to start the day OT, but I'm sure you lovely lot will have some tips/experience! ;) We have a HP Server Cabinet (42U 10842 G2), that we've stripped down to the bare-bones chassis. It now measures 750mm wide. We have a door-way that said server cabinet must fit through, measuring up at 620mm. The cabinet chassis is welded at all four corners, so can't be taken apart any more without being cut. Can you see where this is leading yet? Three obvious questions: 1) Have you ever had to fit a cabinet through a doorway that's too small? 2) How did you do it? Cut cabinet, demolish wall ...? 3) If you cut the cabinet, any tips? Thanks. Rob

With SXF it didn't matter; with later it does, and he can't use SXI, but must derail that train to pick up the SRx train, which has different capabilities and issues. To Anton, the OP, you need to look at the SXF and rebuilds release notes and see what they say; there are a lot of things to look at, and going SRx is going to change things for you; since I'm on Sup2 with SXF I can't go SRx with our 7600's anyway (chassis won't take Sup720 anyway; these are the OSR7609-branded (and epromed) clones of the 6509NEBS chassis that needs the special high speed fan upgrade that is so hard to find these days....). And be sure to peruse the NANOG mailing list archives and read about the 6500-7600 split, especially the comments fom Gert.....

Tonight: ISOC-NY Event: Cyrus Farivar – The Internet of Elsewhere - NYU
by Joly MacFie 04 May '11

04 May '11

You may have seen the recent Freedom House report on Internet Freedom<http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=664>that cited Estonia as the most free Internet in the world, and Iran as among the least. As we know Korea has some of the fastest, while Senegal is rapidly developing. SO this should be an interesting talk about the contrasts.. And there's bound to be some talk about infrastructure. I will be webcasting. Questions can be asked via the backchannel. On May 4 2011 the Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) will present broadcaster, author & journalist Cyrus Farivar reading and discussing his imminent (May 8 ) book ‘The Internet of Elsewhere<http://internetofelsewhere.com/blog/>‘ (Rutgers University Press). All welcome. There will be a live webcast. In the book Farivar explores the Internet’s history and effects in four distinct and, to some, surprising societies — Iran, Estonia, South Korea, and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers in these countries and, at the same time, surveys the environments in which they each work. After all, contends Farivar, despite California’s great success in creating the Internet and spawning companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is still years behind other nations. *What*: Cyrus Farivar – The Internet of Elsewhere *When*: Wednesday 4 May 2011 7pm-9pm EDT (1100-0100 UTC) *Where*: Warren Weaver Hall, rm 201, 251 Mercer Street, NY NY 10012 *Who*: Free.

PCH survey on peering

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Over the past several months, Packet Clearing House has been working on a survey of peering agreements, to which many of you responded. We are very grateful for your participation, and would like to share the resulting report: https://pch.net/resources/papers/peering-survey/PCH-Peering-Survey-2011.pdf I anticipate that we will repeat this exercise in the future, perhaps a year from now, perhaps five years from now, depending upon how much demand we get for updates in the future. If you feel that your perspective was insufficiently represented in our dataset, we would be very happy to include your information in future iterations.

Re: Amazon diagnosis
by James Smith 02 May '11

02 May '11

It's always interesting (in a sad way) when a programmer or DBA comes to me with a basic networking or Unix question that any CCNA or RedHat candidate could answer. Then I get a very safe feeling about my job security when they start asking me if I could look at their code. This has happened too many times in my career. People seem to equate broad knowledge to mean you're a jack-of-all-trades-and-master-of-none. These are usually the same Comp Sci PhDs that have no clue why they just got fired for saying something totally inappropriate in front of HR. The more knowledge you have about anything and everything that your systems interact with then the better you will be at your specialty.

But much to my dismay and surprise I have learned that developers know very little above and beyond their field of interest, say java programming. And I bet this is vice versa. It surprised me because I, perhaps naively, assumed IT workers in general have a rather broad knowledge because in general they're interested in many aspects of IT, try to find out as much as possible and if they do not know something they make an effort learning it. Also considering many (practical) things just aren't taught in university, which is to be expected since the idea is to develop an academic way of thinking. Maybe this "hacker" mentality is less prevalent than I, naively, assumed. So I believe it's just really hard to find someone who is smart and who understands all or most of the aspects of IT, i.e. servers, databases, file systems, load balancers, networks etc. And it's easier and cheaper in the short term to just open a can of <insert random IT job> and hope for the best.
