Verizon's New Repair Method: Plastic Garbage Bags
by Eric Wieling 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

For a while we have had a customer with some lines which go down every time it rains. We put in the trouble ticket, a couple of days later Verizon says the issue is resolved...until the next time it rains. The customer sent us some pictures today of the pole outside their office. The repair appears to be wrapping some plastic bags around something up on the pole. Here is link to the pictures the customer sent us, in case anyone in the mood for a good scare. http://rock.nyigc.net/verizon/

[NANOG-announce] Seeking NANOG Communications Committee candidates for upcoming elections and my farewell
by Randy Epstein 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Greetings NANOG friends and colleagues! This month, elections will take place at NANOG 56 in Dallas, TX. There are currently two open positions available on the NANOG Communications Committee for the upcoming term. Some brief information about the Committee and what we are seeking: The Communications Committee will consist of at least three members selected by the Board of Directors. Members of the Communications Committee may not serve concurrently on the Board of Directors. The chairperson of the Communications Committee will serve ex officio in a non-voting role on the Board of Directors, in order to facilitate communication between the two groups. One of the primary functions of Communications Committee is the maintenance of a community mailing list (the NANOG operators list). The Communications Committee will be responsible for the administration and minimal moderation of the list. The Board of Directors will select the new Communications Committee members after the election in October. Two positions are to be filled. The main NANOG mailing list serves an important role in the community by providing a day-to-day forum for network operators. Participating as a member of the Communications Committee gives you the opportunity to make a noticeable contribution. All candidates will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their qualifications, and to submit a Declaration of Candidacy (DoC), which is available at https://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2012elections/2012_Declaration_of _Candidacy.docx. Communications Committee Member Responsibilities may be viewed at http://www.nanog.org/governance/CC_Member.pdf. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly as well. Personally, I will not be able to run again as I have now served two terms (four years) on the Committee and will be termed out. It has been a pleasure serving the members of NANOG and the Board of Directors during these last four years, from when I first started on the Mailing List Committee and watched over the transformation into what is now the Communications Committee. I'd like to thank the NANOG community for giving me this opportunity as it has certainly been an enjoyable experience. I hope to serve the community again in the future. Regards, Randy Epstein Chair, NANOG Communications Committee _______________________________________________ NANOG-announce mailing list NANOG-announce(a)mailman.nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-announce

If we're looking for belt and suspenders solutions (when you lose your primary WAN connection and the cell modems are jammed up...) You could also hitch up an analog modem to a POTS line, and then let your paging software dial your cell/home number. You won't hear anything, but the CallerID will let you know that your monitoring system is *desperately* trying to get in touch :-) Rich Brown richard.e.brown(a)dartware.com Dartware, LLC http://www.intermapper.com 66-7 Benning Street Telephone: 603-643-9600 West Lebanon, NH 03784-3407 Fax: 603-643-2289

We have been using IPPlan for quite some time now and are finding that we are simply starting to outgrow it. We have been looking at several other IPAM solutions and are starting to consider a purchase. The 6connect solution looks promising. If anyone has experience with this product and would be so include to share that, it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact off list. -- Jim Wininger

And I also think that if he's got one role-name in DNS for his actual mail server, and a separate role-name for his mail list service -- even though they're presently the same machine -- that this will be even easier; probably not requiring the special configuration at all.

Multiple Sprint Outages?
by Eric Rosenberry 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Looks like Sprint is having a very bad day today in the NW? Anybody able to elaborate on exactly where these fiber cuts are and exactly what is impacted? I see mention of several different places that things may be cut right now... We saw sporadic readability issues this AM until we downed our connection to Sprint. http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2012/10/08/cable-cut-in-midwest… http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/08/sprint-voice-data-down-in-minnesota-washin… -Eric -- *Eric Rosenberry* Sr. Infrastructure Architect // Chief Bit Plumber
