Internet for Kiwicon
by Mike Forbes 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Could I have some contacts off list that would be willing to help out Kiwicon with a dedicated / reliable / fast internet link? Requirements are a fast (at least 100Mbit) connection and mostly international traffic (video streaming, CTF hosted in AWS Sydney) We're operating out of the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington on the 15/16/17 November. The building is lit with Citylink fibre but Citylink are unable to help. Kiwicon is non profiting but we do have cash to make this happen, and i'd like to get it sorted! Thanks, Mike

LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf -- Call for Presentations
by Ewen McNeill 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Linux.Conf.Au 2019 is being held in Christchurch, New Zealand near the end of January 2019 (21-25 January), the week before NZNOG 2019 (http://www.nznog.org/nznog-2019) -- thanks to NZNOG for moving from their regular slot to make it possible for those of us who like to attend both conferences. LCA2019 early bird tickets are on sale this month (https://linux.conf.au/attend/tickets/). As usual at LCA, we (Simon Lyall and I) are running a System Administration Miniconf as part of LCA2019, and I'd be quite keen to see some networking-related presentations. Perhaps someone would like to talk about GNS3 for network lab simulation? Or using Ansible / Salt for network configuration automation? Or anything around network monitoring/management. Or high performance networking on commodity hardware controlled by Linux? The LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf Call for Presentations is at: http://sysadmin.miniconf.org/cfp19.html and the text is included below for your convenience. Ewen PS: The Sysadmin Miniconf is part of LCA2019, so you'll need a ticket to LCA2019 to attend/speak the Sysadmin Miniconf or any other LCA2019 Miniconf. -=- cut here -=- Call for Presentations Linux.conf.au 2019 Systems Administration Miniconf There will be a one day mini conference on Linux Systems Administration held as part of linux.conf.au 2019. LCA2019 will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand on 21 - 25 January 2019. The organisers of the Systems Administration Miniconf would like to invite proposals for presentations to be delivered at the Miniconf. Please forward this CFP to your colleagues, peers, social networks, and other relevant mailing lists. Please help by encouraging submissions from people you would like to hear present at this Miniconf. This is our 13th Sysadmin Miniconf at Linux.conf.au. Previous presentations can be found at the website: https://sysadmin.miniconf.org/. Presentation Topics =================== We welcome talks on best current practice, new developments in Systems Administration, cutting edge techniques and technologies, and ways to better manage Linux environments large and small. Topics for presentations could include (but are not limited to): Virtualisation and Cloud Computing Kubernetes / Docker / Containers / Orchestration Infrastructure/Platform/Software as a Service (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS) Sysadmin Administration in a "serverless" environment (FAAS) DevOps and SysAdmin Culture Systems Administration Best Practice Monitoring and metrics. Collection, storage and presentation Networkng: IPv6, SDN (Software Defined Networking), performance DevOps, Configuration Management and provisioning Bootstrapping systems, Lifecycle Management Dealing with BYOD Backups in a virtual/distributed world Troubleshooting techniques Keeping legacy systems functioning War stories from the "Real World" Presentations should be of a technical nature and speakers should assume that members of the audience have at least a couple of years experience in professional Unix/Linux administration (many in the audience will have decades of experience). Format of Presentations ======================= We are now seeking proposals for presentations at the mini-conference. We have openings for: 15-25 minute short presentations 5-10 minute "lightning talks" Please note, due to the single day available (and whole-LCA opening before morning tea), we expect the majority of available timeslots to be 20 minutes or less, with possibly 1-2 slightly longer talks if there is space in the schedule. We have a general policy of accepting a high proportion of proposals but handing out relatively short timeslots. Please see previous years Miniconf schedules for examples of how the programme is organised. Submitting talks ================ Please note that in order to give a presentation or attend the Miniconf you must be registered (and paid up by the time the conference happens) for the main linux.conf.au conference. Presenting at the Miniconf does not entitle you to discounted or free registration at the main conference nor to priority with registration. Unfortunately the Miniconf has no budget for sponsorship of speakers. To submit a talk to the LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf, create an account on the LCA2019 website: https://linux.conf.au/dashboard create a speaker profile, and then select "SysAdmin Miniconf Talk" (in the "New Proposal" section of the Dashboard), or while logged into the LCA2019 site, go directly to: https://linux.conf.au/proposals/submit/sysadmin-miniconf/ Please pick a preferred length for your presentation from Short Presentation (15/20/25 minutes) or Lightning Talk (5/10 minutes) in the submission form; if you could do either (with more or less detail) use the Private Abstract field to describe the options and what you would prefer. In some cases we maybe able to add a few extra minutes to a few Short Presentations if there is any spare time left in the programme. Use the Private Abstract field to let us know a few more minutes would be useful for your presentation. Questions should be sent to: lca2019 at sysadmin.miniconf.org Dates and Deadlines =================== To encourage early submissions, priority (both of inclusion and scheduling) will be given to presentations submitted by 23:59 (any time zone) on 31st of October 2018. If you have a good presentation idea, please let us know early, even if you need time to finalise the presentation abstract. Please let us know directly if you need an early confirmation to assist you in arranging time off work or travel; we will do our best to help. 2018-10-31 - Deadline for early submissions 2018-11-18 - Deadline for submissions 2018-12-04 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf programme published 2019-01-21 - LCA2019 Sysadmin Miniconf held (Christchurch, NZ) Contact and Questions ===================== Please see our website at https://sysadmin.miniconf.org for more information on the miniconf, past presentations and presenting at it.

Spoofer Report for NZNOG for Sep 2018
by CAIDA Spoofer Project 07 Oct '18

07 Oct '18

In response to feedback from operational security communities, CAIDA's source address validation measurement project (https://spoofer.caida.org) is automatically generating monthly reports of ASes originating prefixes in BGP for systems from which we received packets with a spoofed source address. We are publishing these reports to network and security operations lists in order to ensure this information reaches operational contacts in these ASes. This report summarises tests conducted within nzl. Inferred improvements during Sep 2018: ASN Name Fixed-By 4764 wideband-as-au 2018-09-01 Further information for the inferred remediation is available at: https://spoofer.caida.org/remedy.php Source Address Validation issues inferred during Sep 2018: ASN Name First-Spoofed Last-Spoofed 131291 LANWORXLIMITED 2018-09-21 2018-09-23 Further information for these tests where we received spoofed packets is available at: https://spoofer.caida.org/recent_tests.php?country_include=nzl&no_block=1 Please send any feedback or suggestions to spoofer-info(a)caida.org

IPv6 / Cisco ASA / 2degrees UFB
by Bill Walker 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi All, I’ve been quite happily running a Cisco router at home on Snap/2degrees, but with the upgrade to UFB its not coping with the throughput. I’ve managed to locate a suitably equipped ASA, however I cant get IPv6 going. The config I have on the ASA is very similar to that of the router: nterface GigabitEthernet0/7 description 2degrees nameif EXTERNAL security-level 0 no ip address ciscoasa# sh run int gi0/7.10 ! interface GigabitEthernet0/7.10 description 2degrees vlan 10 nameif 2degrees10 security-level 0 pppoe client vpdn group 2degrees ip address pppoe setroute ipv6 address autoconfig ipv6 address dhcp ipv6 enable ipv6 dhcp client pd 2degrees-v6 However, if I remember correctly the IPv6 dhcp assignment happens inside the PPPoE connection once its established. Can anyone confirm that or provide a working config? In case someone wants versions, the ASA is on 9.9.2 (asa992-smp-k8.bin) Thanks, Bill Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Re: [nznog] Comcom/Samknows broadband testing from a different perspective
by Brian Cole 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

Hi all, Longtime listener; first time caller. I signed up to SamKnows (partly out of curiosity and partly so I can have hard data about my connection that I pay for) at home. Over the last week my connection has gone from slightly adequate with the occasional drop out to a slow connection with regular drop outs. Netflix and YouTube are stuttering, video games drop connection, and websites hang at random times. I can't help but think that the email shared by Dylan sheds some light on why that maybe. This programme won't be terribly successful if everyone gets sick of having a terrible connection during peak hours and shuts the white box down. Pretty frustrating.

Comcom/Samknows broadband testing from a different perspective
by Dylan Hall 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

Hi all, I'm wearing my REANNZ hat today. I thought I'd share what we're seeing hosting the M-Lab [1] nodes in NZ that the new Comcom/Samknows [2] broadband testing are using for some of their tests. For a start, it looks like the testing has been ramping up over the last week (see attached graph), in particular during the evening (6pm-midnight). I had assumed the testing would be evenly spread out throughout the day, but it looks like they're concentrating the testing during the busy evening period. If anyone is interested in following how that traffic grows we have publicly available graphs for the two M-Lab nodes: AKL: https://weathermap.reannz.co.nz/node.php?src=and01&int=xe_0_0_9 WLG: https://weathermap.reannz.co.nz/node.php?src=and02&int=xe_0_2_7 If you want to try out the M-Lab nodes themselves, type "speedtest" into a Google search box and there is a "Run Speed Test" option that uses M-Lab (at least in my copy of Chrome, your mileage may vary). The nodes each consist of 4 x Dell servers front ended by a Juniper QFX switch. They're connected at 10Gbps. The nodes are fully run by M-Lab, we're just providing some address space and capacity. If anyone is concerned about their connectivity to REANNZ, we're on all the major NZ exchanges (APE, WIX, CHIX, AKL-IX) where we peer with the route servers. I note Comcom have posted a FAQ [3] on their website with some more details. The nodes are also IPv6 connected with addresses allocated from 2404:138::/32. It's worth noting we've been hosting M-Lab nodes for around 5 years now, but no one from Comcom or Samknows has spoken to us about the testing so it's all come as a bit of a surprise to us. If you have any interesting information to share, we'd like to know more :) [1] https://www.measurementlab.net [2] https://comcom.govt.nz/regulated-industries/telecommunications/monitoring-t… [3] https://comcom.govt.nz/__data/assets/pdf_file/0032/98276/SamKnows-technical… Thanks, Dylan

Juniper Lab
by Jesse Archer 16 Sep '18

16 Sep '18

Hi All, I've got some config that I'd like to lab but my own kit is tied up in a transition. Wondering if anyone has a spare MX5-MX80 they would be willing to fire up to allow me to perform some tests. Unfortunately, vMX doesn't quite work in this case. *Jesse Archer* *General Manager*Full Flavour *p. *07 577 0099 *ddi*. 07 281 1391 *s*.
