Route Server Update
by Jake Khuon 07 Aug '97

07 Aug '97

Yesterday evening, a corruption occurred to the RADB's index files that caused the database to return incorrect data. As a result, the Route Server configuration files generated by the 8:30 pm EST config run were incorrect. The Route Server Next Generation project was able to restore correct peering to the Route Servers by using a four-hour-old config file. The IRR server on RADB has been shut down to prevent users from receiving incorrect data. We will notify you as soon as operations are back to normal. Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this outage. --- The RSng Team -- /*====================[ Jake Khuon <khuon(a)Merit.Net> ]=====================+ | Systems Research Programmer, IE Group /| /|[~|)|~|~ N E T W O R K | | Vox: (313) 763-4907 Fax: (313) 747-3185 / |/ |[_|\| | Incorporated | +==[ Suite C2122, Bldg. 1 4251 Plymouth Rd.

I'm not blocking anyone from port 25, *but* I have installed the ruleset in out sendmail to make it reject any mail that does not originale or terminate in our domain. This put a halt to the rash or relaying problems we had some months ago, but down not affect our users in any way. -- Andy Pitts : "Knowledge is a deadly friend andy(a)rbdc.rbdc.com : When no one sets the rules." http://www.rbdc.com : --King Crimson--

Route servers down?

Anyone else notice that the route servers are completely down? Well, not exactly down. Just not passing routes. The PAIR tool seems to confirm this, for most everyone that I've checked... Dave Rand -- Dave Rand dlr(a)bungi.com http://www.bungi.com

web CGIs for Bay Networks routers?
by Mark Bixby 06 Aug '97

06 Aug '97

Has anybody written any web CGIs for Bay Networks routers that they'd like to share with me? I'm looking for something that either extracts the data from the SNMP MIB or from the Technician Interface via telnet, simple stuff like displaying the IP routing table, the BGP routes, etc. Site Manager under MS-Windows is just too slow and painful for doing this routine kind of stuff..... Thanks. -- Mark Bixby E-mail: markb(a)cccd.edu Coast Community College Dist.
