Open Network User Group - Wellington network meetup 23/1/2020
by Alex White-Robinson 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Kia ora koutou, I've been running a User Group in Wellington for the last three months - it's a place to discuss network implementations in the datacentre, service-provider or enterprise arena. The stated interests of the group are network ecosystem tools including monitoring and configuration deployment, as well as network technology topics ranging from protocol options to ASIC choices. To date, the user group has covered techologies including automatic pre-change testing, EVPN implementations in the DC, infrastructure as code and IPAM software. Our next meeting is on Thursday the 23rd of January, from 16:30 in the Thistle Inn, with a short (20 minute) talk from 5:15 in the Katherine Mansfield room. This month, we have a short presentation on monitoring and a demo of setting up prometheus, grafana & alertmanager as a network monitor suite. You can track the talks, published code repositories and slide decks @ https://www.meetup.com/Open-Network-User-Group. Registration/RSVP is not required for those wishing to attend. Cheers, Alex White-Robinson.

The Times Change
by Donald Neal 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Work is under way to remove Vocus New Zealand's AS9790 from Auckland Peering Exchange. This does not reflect a change in Vocus NZ's open peering policy and does not involve other Vocus AS's. In particular, there is no change to AS4826. * Donald Neal Donald Neal | Network Architect D: +64 9 929 2958E: Donald.Neal(a)vocusgroup.co.nz M: +64 27 808 1023W: vocusgroup.co.nz A: Level 5, 34 Sale St, Auckland 1010

Waikato Uni Contact for list.waikato.ac.nz?
by Simon Lyall 20 Jan '20

20 Jan '20

Anyone got a contact for the admins of list.waikato.ac.nz ? I looked at their contact page but it seems to be directed at staff/students. The problem is that https://list.waikato.ac.nz/ is not working on some browsers (Chrome, curl) and giving a cert error. It would appear the following intermediate cert: issuer=/C=BM/O=QuoVadis Limited/CN=QuoVadis Global SSL ICA G3 (which is the one that signs list.waikato.ac.nz) is the problem. It appears that it is built into firefox which is okay and possibly was included in Chrome in the past. https://www.waikato.ac.nz includes this intermediate cert in replies so it is not affected. -- Simon Lyall | Very Busy | Web: http://www.simonlyall.com/ "To stay awake all night adds a day to your life" - Stilgar

NZNOG 2020 brought to you by Cisco
by Nathan Ward 16 Jan '20

Hi all, NZNOG 2020 registrations are filling up, so if you’re a “late registerer” it’s worth getting in there ASAP so as not to miss out. http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2020 <http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2020> As you all know it’s based in Christchurch this year, so if you’re local and haven’t been to an NZNOG conference you should come along. We move the NZNOG conference around so that we can make it more accessible to people in each region, so, please take advantage of that! There’s a number of tutorials and workshops happening in the 2 days before the conference - most of these will appeal to any organisation with a router or two, not just service providers. They are really good value - thanks to the generosity of the trainers and our sponsors, what NZNOG charges for these is less than our costs, so much better value than industry training you’ll often see. Our conference keynote speaker is Dr. Paul Vixie, who’s also running one of those tutorials - Threat Hunting Using Passive DNS. This is a pretty rare chance get some training from one of the pioneers of the Internet and modern computing. This would be a great one if you’re more of an enterprise network as well as for service providers. This email will almost certainly reach you due to software Paul has written - cron, bind, dhcpd.. you get the idea. We’ve also got Red Hat providing a couple of different training sessions on Containers, and using Ansible for network config. APNIC are running a course on BGP basics, and another on ROA validation - very important if you’re doing any sort of BGP or peering these days. Sponsors this year are of course on our sponsors page - http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2020/sponsors-2020 <http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2020/sponsors-2020>, and include Cisco, InternetNZ, GoWireless, NZIX, Red Hat, Vocus, and Vodafone. Our sponsors make the NZNOG conference a reality and keep our prices low, so please check out our sponsors page for the full list, and make sure you thank them! -- Nathan Ward
