I will be expanding my current PoP’s RAM up to 128GB in the upcoming weeks, also will be getting a 40 gig port. Also working out plans to add an additional physical hardware node to the current PoP for resiliency. I need some SSD servers and BGP tunnels to expand […]
Due to the fact my APNIC ASN is allocated under an LIR sponsor. There are a bunch of APNIC rules for sponsored ASN, but one of them is I must maintain connectivity to my LIR. So the Sponsor gave me a free SIT tunnel, as he provides free tunnel service […]
ARIN also issued an expansion to my IPv6 allocation. I am now allocated a /36 IPv6. I can go up to a /32 without renumbering or additional justification as per current policy. But /36 is a ton of addresses already, and I don’t forsee outgrowing this.
This APNIC ASN is non-portable. What that means is, If I ever disconnect from this LIR Sponsor, so they’re no longer my upstream, I cannot keep this ASN and it must be returned to the LIR. So I’m getting a tunnel connection from the guy to resolve it. Overall it […]
Got my 2nd ARIN allocated /24 IPv4 block today. This is great news! Going to utilize both of these /24s and hopefully by the end of the year I can jump back on the list for a /23.
I am on the list for another /24, but since it’s the holiday season, and for the past 2 weeks I haven’t deployed as much infrastructure. If I can get this allocation, great. If not I will deploy a bunch of services and jump on the list for March or […]
Setup Routinator on Ubuntu yesterday by installing the binary package to simplify management. My FRR box is now using rpki filtering and only allowing for valid and not found prefixes. All invalid prefixes should now be dropped. I am doing some additional tests to make sure it is configured correctly.
Changed up on how I am announcing my subnets today. So, I sued to have my pfsense firewall doing the announcement but I decided to change It up. Now it’s a ubuntu VM with FRR doing the range announcements and other boxes or VM’s will peer to this VM and […]
So, after setting up BGP peering and establishing connectivity to the outside world with my prefixes, my other priority is to setup a pair of authoritative DNS servers. This way I can use my own nameserver to set PTR records and also update my ARIN records with my authoritative DNS […]
My dedicated server was provisioned with a hypervisor at my request. So, the first thing I setup after I got my dedicated server (dedi, from here on out) was to setup networking on it and run a quick pfSense firewall, then install FRR module and start a BGP peering session […]
