Changes to rs1.chix.nzix.net - 10am Monday
by Tim Hoffman 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Greetings, As part of our continued effort to develop the NZIX route servers, we are planning to replace rs1.chix.nzix.net on Monday at 10am. We will observe a change freeze on the rest of our route servers nationwide (including rs2.chix.nzix.net) during this time. The new server is dual stacked and will support IPv6 on 2001:7FA:3:5F44::1/64. All the active peers have sessions pre-configured on this, your ipv6 address will be 2001:7FA:3:5F44::X/64, where X is the last octet of your v4 address (not a hex translation like we did to generate the APE v6 addresses) - i.e. if you are 218.100.24.17 then your v6 address will be 2001:7FA:3:5F44::17/64. The v6 peering is running now on this address for all peers, so please configure this up. Later next week we will be replacing rs2.chix.nzix.net with a dual stacked server also, we'll advise the details/timing of this once the rs1 replacement is complete. Changes of note include; Implementing v6 on the route servers. Only accepting up to /24's for v4 and /48's for v6. The only filtering we will provide is to deny bogon routes and defaults from peers. Also we are still on track to roll these changes out on the WIX in the next couple of weeks. Progress :). Feel free to drop me an email if you have any queries/comments regarding this. Regards, Tim

DNSSEC: co.nz now signed and deployment schedule for the moderated SLD
by Donald Neal 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

This message is forwarded on behalf of Sebastian Castro: ----- To our community: NZRS has completed today the deployment of DNSSEC for co.nz, enabling full validation for their sub-domains. All non-moderated second level domains now are DNSSEC-signed. InternetNZ has sent out a media release about this event http://tinyurl.com/crglf4z We also have added to our deployment calendar (http://nzrs.net.nz/dns/dnssec) the dates for the moderated second level domains. In summary, by the end of August the zones cri.nz, health.nz and iwi.nz will be signed. During the first two weeks of September, govt.nz, mil.nz, and parliament.nz will be signed, thus completing the DNSSEC schedule. Any DS records present in the registry for domains under those zones will be included as soon as the trust chain is completed. If you are keen to sign your domains, or they are already signed and need to submit DS records, a list of .nz Registrars who are either DNSSEC Friendly, or offer DNSSEC services can be found at http://dnc.org.nz/registrars Kind Regards, -- Sebastian Castro DNS Specialist .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 495 2337 mobile: +64 21 400535 Donald Neal Senior Network Engineer Direct: +64 9 929 2958 Mobile: 0278081023 Fax: +64 9 929 2959

Pacific Fibre to Cease Operations - cites not enough investment.
by Joel Wirāmu Pauling 01 Aug '12

So if you haven't seen this; my question is if they don't have enough money to go "all the way" to LA why not at least re-align and put some NZ to AU fibre in? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10823806 -JoelW @aenertia +64 21 171 8049

Network Engineer roles ?
by Ian Batterbee 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi all, I'm a little hesitant to post this, because I can't recall what the result of the last discussion on 'is this list an appropriate place to ask about jobs going in the industry' was... So, if the feeling was that it was okay, and anyone has openings going for an experienced network engineer, please let me know off-list. And if not, please imagine some lovely green sunny grassy fields :/

DNSSEC: A good or bad thing?
by Mark Goldfinch 01 Aug '12

Greetings all, I recently came across a presentation by DJB taking an in-depth look at how DNSSEC operates: http://cr.yp.to/talks/2012.06.04/slides.pdf I haven't seen much in the way of discussion on his assertions, so NZNOG, your opinion please! Thanks, -- Mark Goldfinch | Systems Team Leader MODICA GROUP

I don't think this is about international capacity per-se, but quicker, faster, better links to AU - there are more CDN's there, it's easier to negotiate contracts for an 'Oceanic' market segment with the big content pushers. To quote Dean "We want to appear as a State of Australia, not a Suburb of LA" Wasn't there just another 200G pipe to US announced there last week from AU? Am aware of AXIN, but IIRC wasn't the major backer of Pacific Fibre PAC-NET, I would have through there are different politics involved; but I don't pretend to have the foggiest. If there were three providers to AU I think we might stand a chance of having on-negotiated competition out of AU which we can pitch into to.

Changes to rs2.ape.net.nz - 10am Tomorrow
by Sid Jones 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hola. We're in the process of final testing prior to livening up [animating?] a new route server to take the place of rs2.ape.net.nz on new hardware. There will be a brief outage tomorrow as we swap the servers. Note: rs1.ape.net.nz will not be affected by this change. The new server is dual-stacked and will support IPv6 on 2001:7fa:4:c0cb::9a02/64 - all the current v6 peers are configured on this server, feel free to configure up a session to the new server. Any issues, please let us know.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes. Diagnostic output: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PREVIOUS OBJECT: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS132040 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Citylink Corp ISP network - AS132040 members: 103.23.16.0/22^22-29, 198.48.0.0/22^22-29, 202.8.44.0/22^22-29, 203.147.108.0/23^23-29, 192.33.14.0/24^24-29, 192.58.128.0/24^24-29, 205.233.128.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: tim(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20111111 source: NZRR REPLACED BY: route-set: AS9439:RS-ROUTES:AS132040 descr: advertised to AS9439 by Citylink - AS132040 members: 103.23.16.0/22^22-29, 198.48.0.0/22^22-29, 202.7.4.0/22^22-29, 202.8.44.0/22^22-29, 203.147.108.0/23^23-29, 192.33.14.0/24^24-29, 192.58.128.0/24^24-29, 205.233.128.0/24^24-29 admin-c: RPA1-NZRR tech-c: RPA1-NZRR notify: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net notify: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz notify: tim(a)citylink.co.nz mnt-by: MAINT-NZRR-NZ changed: rpsl-admin(a)nzix.net 20120727 source: NZRR ------------------------------------------------------------
