IPv6 troubleshooting for Residential ISP Helpdesks - a document
by Dean Pemberton 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Andy just poked this under my nose. Great looking resource! They are looking for feedback if you've got any. ---------- At IPv6 WG session in London, we discussed the most recent version of the "IPv6 Troubleshooting for Residential ISP Helpdesks" document. The proposed plan of action was to reach the consensus on the technical details of the document and then publish it (as combined IPv6 WG and BCOP TF effort). This email announces the working group last call for the "IPv6 Troubleshooting for Residential ISP Helpdesks" document. Please read the most recent version of it: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/tf/bcop/ipv6-troubleshooting-for-residenti… and provide your comments to the list *until 23:59 Fri Dec 19th 2014*. ---------

Cooling Pads for Juniper SRX?
by Skeeve Stevens 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hi all, I have an issue with some Juniper SRX100's overheating. I've seen them get hot before, especially placed on something similar (i.e. another SRX100)... and given warnings of overheating, but never shut down.... but this situation is different. These SRX100's are shutting down as they are reaching a core temperature of 70c as they are located in racks that are outside in the sun and on particularly hot days - around 32c-36c they overheat and turn themselves off. Some might say this is understandable... and I sort of agree. Although their operating system says they are good to 40c, that doesn't really seem to be the case. The SRX110's are a little more tolerant given they are bigger units - but have the same operating environmentals (along with the EX2200-C). But at the moment I have the SRX100's and would prefer not to swap them out as it will cost significantly. Then one of my staff had (what I think) a good idea today... to use cooling pads... maybe like the ones you use for laptops or something. So I am wondering if anyone has been some solid - not $20 junk or such.. but something that runs off mains, and works well 24x7x365 - maybe even something that only kicks in once a certain temperature has been reached. I thought if anywhere, a couple of these mailing lists might have had some experience with these kinds of things - especially for those who have built regional pops and have had to cool some equipment.

Licence NZNOG video recordings
by Nick 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

A woefully inadequate search of the archives does not produce an answer to this, so tempting all fate, I submit a possibly list relevant query... What is the copyright licencing on the r2 recordings of NZNOG? Each page clearly displays their copyright, which is fair and makes sense, but there appears to be no distribution licence (eg Creative Commons?) Cheers, Nick -- Nick 'Zaf' Clifford

Spots available on NZITF DDoS training next week in Wellington
by Dean Pemberton 30 Nov '14

30 Nov '14

Hi All, Wellington is going to be the centre of all things Security next week, with Kiwicon happening on the 11th and 12th. In advance of that NZITF have Krassi Tzvetanov (currently at A10 Networks previously at Cisco) visiting that week and running some training while he is here on the 10th December. We don't normally open training up to non-NZITF members, but as this is on DDoS Mitigation and some NZNOG'ers are liable to be in town anyway for Kiwicon, I thought I'd pass the info on. This training will cover different types of DoS attacks that are currently popular and will explain in detail how they work and how in some cases the underlying technology is exploited to produce the desired effect by the attacker. More details available here. http://nzitf.org.nz/pdf/141228-DDoS-Mitigation.pdf Regards, Dean

I am assuming this refers to notifications about equipment changes, vendor suppliers etc? It may come as a surprise to these people but most network operators create standards and stick to them!

Completely agree. My interpretation of the guidance is the same (i.e. "continuing to use the exact same systems as were decided on and deployed prior to 11 May would not require a notice and replacing dead hardware with the same thing doesn't require this notice either"). As such, I'd be surprised if there had been a large number of submissions from every operator within 6 months.

ntp.net.nz Update
by Josh Simpson 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi NZNOG, Time for an update with regards to ntp.net.nz servers. On the morning of Saturday Nov 22, ntp3.ntp.net.nz failed with a similar issue to that of ntp2.ntp.net.nz, this happened just a few weeks short of the new ntp2 go live. Due to this event we have pushed the new ntp2 appliance into service as well as reconfiguring another new appliance that was to be ntp4 as a ntp3 replacement. Both of these went live on Nov 22 at 18:06 hours, along with reverting the DNS ntp2 -> ntp3 redirection changes that were made in the July 14th email. As part of this the IP addresses for ntp2 and ntp3 have changed to the following ntp2.ntp.net.nz: 202.46.178.18 ntp3.ntp.net.nz: 202.46.179.18 ntp2 was unavailable via IPv6 prior to the failure, we have plans to resolve this in the near future. ntp3 is now unavailable via IPv6 due to the short time span of the work on Saturday, we hope to have this resolved in the coming weeks. We will update the list when IPv6 is back up and running. If you had previously used the IP addresses in your configs be sure to update them. We do recommend using the DNS names specified at https://ntp.net.nz to avoid this issue in the future. If you need any further information, please contact us at support(a)nzrs.net.nz Cheers Josh -- Josh Simpson Systems Administrator .nz Registry Services M: +64 21 783 399 P: +64 4 555 0124 GPG: 6516 B4EA 413B CAED 57B5 0956 124C 8AC3 A362 8080 www.nzrs.net.nz
