looking for rack mount ears - HP 1920 series
by Terry Hughes 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

sorry, I know this is way off-topic, but I'm out of options. I need to re-work a small rack with a few 1920 OfficeConnect switches in it, and the original installer threw out the mounting ears and just sat the switches on top of some old equipment. The holes don't match any of the generic mounting kits I've got, and HP don't list the mounts as spares. Does anyone have a couple of mounting kits, or at least the ears? Fair compensation no problem. I'm in Wellington, but know how couriers work... thanks, Terry (long time lurker etc) 021 575715

Hi Folks, Welcome to 2017 and another edition of the 'Nog. Next week the conference http://www.nznog.org/nznog17 begins! http://www.nznog.org/nznog17/nznog-2017-workshop http://www.nznog.org/nznog17/nznog-2017-tutorials http://www.nznog.org/nznog17/conference-programme It's not too late to register - the programme is looking good - thanks to the Programme Committee and the Presenters that have put their names forward and made the time to give back to the NZNOG community. For those of you attending the Social on Thursday Night - pack something warm/decent shoes - the event is outside and so far the summer has been pretty meh. Conference attendance is looking good, we look forward to seeing you all there next week! If any of you fancy putting your hand up for some random work to help with odd jobs at the conference let us know (and when you'd be available) at info(a)nznog.org - we'd appreciate it. Cheers Jamie on behalf of the NZNOG Trustees.

Supporting RIPE Atlas
by Sebastian Castro 15 Jan '17

15 Jan '17

Hi everyone: On preparation for NZNOG 2017 next week, I'd like to pitch the RIPE Atlas project to this audience. RIPE Atlas https://atlas.ripe.net/ is global measurement network composed by hundreds of lightweight probes, that allow their users to run a variety of network measurements. The probes are small, powered by USB, and let you run Ping, Traceroute, lightweight HTTP, DNS lookups, etc. It provides the convenience of running measurements from different networks, very useful for troubleshooting and monitoring, as well as research. There are 82 active probes in New Zealand, and we would like to cover most of the active ASNs in the country with a probe. NZRS uses RIPE Atlas for some of our research work, like Detecting if NZ ISP are doing DNSSEC validation <http://blog.nzrs.net.nz/dnssec-validation-at-spark-nz/> or testing local ISP resolvers for centricity <http://blog.nzrs.net.nz/resolvers-centricity-detection/>, as well as our efforts to map the Internet topology of NZ that will be presented at the conference. Some NZNOG members are RIPE Atlas ambassadors, like Dean Pemberton or myself, we can get you a probe if you are interested on hosting one. I'll bring a few to Tauranga next week, feel free to contact me if you want one. If there is more demand than available probes, I can get a bunch directly from RIPE and post them to you later. Kind Regards, -- Sebastian Castro Technical Research Manager NZRS Ltd. desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535
