Docjowles posted:Does anyone know what the gently caress is going on with Vyatta these days? I went to download the latest OS image from Brocade (we have support) as I usually do, but it's gone and the product is labeled End-of-support and End-of-engineering. Nothing is available to download. Apparently the IP was sold to AT&T this summer, but I can't find any way to get anything Vyatta-related from them yet. Is it just in limbo now? Thanks Ants posted:It's AT&T so they probably have a plan for supporting existing customers that looks a lot like "lol go gently caress yourself". Brocade got acquired by Broadcomm who split up the company and sold off the pieces. AT&T bought Vyatta (IP and team) as part of their internal efforts to build out their SDN offerings. IE "Brocade vRouter" is going dark for internal use by AT&T. Perhaps a handful of Brocade's biggest customers w/ shared customer relationships with AT&T got some sweetheart insider contracts but that's pure speculation. Everyone else is simply getting dumped. AT&T has no plans to offer licensing or support for Vyatta. Your next closest option is going to be VyOS, or perhaps the Ubiquiti Edgerouter Infinity.

Thanks Ants posted:If you have a support contract then surely somebody has an obligation to continue to support the product, or credit you back for the term that you can't use? Or is this a "yeah try suing AT&T if you want" moment? They waited out pretty much everyone's support terms and/or did not renew contracts before the sale 96 Port Hub posted:I just set up VyOS on a VM in my home lab to handle all the network traffic for both my lab and general household use. I was pretty impressed with how easy it was and totally think that it would be worth considering an enterprise support contract if it fits your needs. Depending on how quickly you need to update you might want to wait until 1.2 which I believe will change the routing daemon being used away from quagga or whatever it was that vyatta used. Vyatta 5 used Quagga, Vyatta 6.x moved over to ZebOS VyOS uses Quagga EdgeOS uses ZebOS. CrazyLittle fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Dec 8, 2017 |

It's going away, but it'll be a LONG time before it goes away. Yep. Adtran's still a major player in TDM space. Just look at the cards that get deployed at the CPE side.

unknown posted:I've seen people want to terminate 1G on just about anything that has a 1G network port, which includes things like your cheap home router/nat boxes and then blame the ISP. Very much this. The ISP like Verizon and AT&T U-Verse don't give a poo poo about what you plug in for the home-game gig links because they can just tell you to gently caress off. Business links carry SLAs and guarantees, so they're going to make sure they stack the cards so that it's likely to work without issues. SamDabbers posted:If you're just doing basic layer 3 forwarding between routed ports and/or SVIs, then just about any commodity L3 switch that does static routing should be able to do it at line speed. It should be fine as long as you don't expect to do any filtering, logging, non-static routing, or anything that may hit the CPU at all. This too - The minute anything goes wrong, you'll need some diagnostic info and a managed switch doing L3 forwarding isn't going to be able to keep up. Routers connected to ISP public internet links also reduce the switch TCAM and MAC processing/security requirements in the ISP edge network as well, since a L2/L3 switch is going to pass all the MAC addresses upstream instead of routing IP like it should when the end user forgets to actually "route" through the switch's L3 backplane. For example, AT&T's ASE offering is limited to 250 MAC addresses per EVC. UVerse gigabit IIRC is limited to one MAC connected to the ONU.

FatCow posted:What? First off, a L3 switch will behave exactly like a router when it routes packets when it comes to MAC addresses. The MAC will only pass through to the ISP if it is switched traffic. You're absolutely correct - assuming the end user actually configures their switch and connected clients to route and not just switch up to the network egress

Lonoxmont posted:Thanks guys, looks like I got lucky, and all that happened was the sonicwall has to do the routing for the new range until I get all the /24 changed to /22 on the clients on my end. So everything stayed up and running, but until everything has the new hostmask it is still a bottleneck through the sonicwall (I presume). At some point I will probably get around to moving the default gateway etc where the sonicwall lives to somewhere closer to the beginning of the address space, where networking stuff should go. Not looking forward to running through all the clients again for that. set your router to 10.1.0.0 /15

I'm looking at 10/40/100gig switches and don't particularly enjoy the $20k pricepoint of Cisco Cat9500 or Arista's new generation. Anyone here use Cisco Nexus 9300, or specifically Cisco N9K-C93180YC-EX ? Any thoughts on these boxes? I probably won't need any fancy features like NAT or MPLS on them since it'll be sitting in between 2+n routers, but netflow might be a nice bonus. Also what does Arista's grey-market support services look like? Non-existant? Can you get bug fixes / firmware patches for 7280SE's anymore?

From the service provider's perspective there's no reason why they should ever route v6 space that's not theirs nor explicitly granted to them to route. Nor should they accept RA's from downstream for similar reasons. From the client side, you could totally do two providers if you assigned v6 addresses from each provider and then let the client devices figure out the least cost route, but DHCPv6 doesn't seem to want to do multiple dynamic leases at the moment and the majority of client devices seem to be moving in that direction. With PI space you're guaranteed that address space as long as you maintain it, and the only additional cost is some small fees from the RIR and any associated net-eng time at the ISP level.

I mean... it's not the most elegant solution but for some switch vendors (FORCE10) it seems to be the only way to do both tagged + untagged traffic on a port with a non-native VLAN1??? What was the problem that needed this "fix"?

wolrah posted:The other problem I have with that idea is that there's no technical reason the equipment couldn't advertise only one mode in autonegotiation, so it both worked without requiring any pointless manual configuration and only operated in the desired mode. This. If you're thinking of AT&T's metro ethernet products, you can actually request they do exactly this ^^^: "please set my port to auto-negotiate advertising only 100/full" on a 100mbit port. The other half of the reason why is because they wrote their design document back when Fastethernet was the copper standard and simply never updated them to reflect that "Fastethernet" doesn't exist on gigabit Ciena/Juniper/Cisco hardware ports.

Tetramin posted:Yeah, I just experienced this at a new site with metro Ethernet. Our “100mb symmetrical” link was auto negotiating to 100/half duplex giving us like 10mb actual speed. Got to experience the hell that is ATTs support too, after 3 auto closed tickets they finally fixed it. Make sure you have your own equipment shaping or policing to 100/100 or else you will have a lot of large file transfers magically fail when the ATT policer kills your session.
