Juniper J2320, rate limit based on bgp community (national/international)
by Barry Murphy 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hey Guys, Hope this fits in with the AUP, however I'd hope so as not many forums show how to rate-limit based on national/international traffic as they don't bill accordingly, however in NZ this is standard practice so hoping someone with juniper knowledge can assist me here. Basically I want to allow all traffic to/from national without rate-limit, then restrict international, for eg 128k. icepick(a)NCCORE01# show firewall policer 128k { if-exceeding { bandwidth-limit 128k; burst-size-limit 4500; } then discard; } filter 128k { term 1 { from { forwarding-class assured-forwarding; } then accept; } term 2 { from { forwarding-class best-effort; } then { policer 128k; accept; } } } icepick(a)NCCORE01# show policy-options policy-statement Orcon-Primary-In term 1 { from community [ Orcon-Local Orcon-National Orcon-Peering Orcon-Telstra Orcon-Telecom ]; then { local-preference 110; forwarding-class assured-forwarding; accept; } } term 2 { from { route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 upto /24; } then { local-preference 110; forwarding-class best-effort; accept; } } term 3 { from { route-filter 0.0.0.0/0 exact; } then { local-preference 120; accept; } } term 4 { then reject; } icepick(a)NCCORE01# show interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 55 description "Test interface"; vlan-id 55; family inet { filter { input 128k; output 128k; } address 113.21.x.x/29; } The problem I'm running into is all traffic is being rate-limited at 128k, rather than just the international. I was able to find one example located at http://archives.devshed.com/forums/networking-100/policer-based-on-communit… however this describes the use of destination-class where I only have forwarding-class so I'm not sure if this has been depreciated or renamed or not supported by J2320. I understand this may be a question for JTAC, however I'd like to hear from users here in NZ that have managed to get this going with junos. To keep the list sane, please reply offlist, if many people are interested I'll post the working solution after being tested for archive purposes. Public holiday for Aucklanders next monday, extra long weekend of beer, mmmmm Thanks Barry

System Administrators Miniconf draft schedule
by Ewen McNeill 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

The NZNOG 2009 conference starts tomorrow (Wed 2009-01-28) with the tutorial day, including the System Administrators Miniconf. As previously announced the System Administrators Miniconf is being held in more of a BoF style (shorter intro talks, more discussion) with a more flexible schedule than previous years. But for the benefit of those who are hoping to switch back and forth between tutorials, this is approximately what we intend to have in terms of ordering and timing: -=- cut here -=- Intro/Welcome Ewen McNeill: Scaling System and Network monitoring Peter Mott: VMware in a production environment Jonny Martin: PCH VMWare Platform * Morning Tea * Amos Jeffries: Squid web caching Michael Robinsion: Configuration automation (puppet, cfengine, etc) Jonny Martin: ENUM intro -=- cut here -=- About the only thing which is actually fixed is the morning tea (10:30-11:00) and the start (at approximately 09:00). I believe we have the room for at least half a day, and perhaps the full day, so we're open to adding more topics (or a general "problem solving" type BoF) after the things listed above. Ewen

It's a pain Can you elaborate on this? Are you still talking about the 'middle' .0 and .255 IPs of /23s and larger? What troubles have you seen and what kind of mobile devices are you talking about? scott ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------

Hey all, Cisco had a price rise 1st November 08 Then January 9th 09 of 18% Now it is going up another 18% on 30th January 09 Fun oh fun. I assume this effects NZ as well, but not sure to what % ...Skeeve From: http://www.lansystems.com.au/NewsAndEvents/News/NewsItem.asp?objid=168&cont… As you are most likely aware there will be a Cisco price increase effective close of business Friday 30th January 2009. The price increase of approximately 18% will affect all hardware orders. All orders received by 12pm AEDST on Friday 30th January 2009 will be processed by Westcon Group at the quoted pricing. Any orders received after this time will need to be requoted at the new pricing. All quotes for Cisco hardware products will only be valid until 12pm AEDST 30th January 2009. There will be no delays providing Cisco quotations following the price increase. Westcon Group will continue to maintain our standard Cisco quoting turnaround times. Please continue to send all quote requests to support(a)westcongroup.com.au<mailto:support(a)westcongroup.com.au>. A friendly reminder of Westcon's purchase order requirements: * All Cisco orders require valid end user information. * Any amendments received after 30th January 2009 to orders placed prior to Friday 30th January 2009 will be at the new pricing. * Any orders without valid or correct Cisco Deal ID information placed prior to the 30th January 2009 will need to be amended at the new pricing.
