Is anyone else in the north east seeing routing issues on frontier right now?  Unable to get to many websites. Trace route seems to complete fine but you can't bring up any content.

Is there anyone from AS 714/6185 that can reach out to me, AS 19016, to try and get traffic from your network to come to me via your Equinix IX connection instead of a transit connections.

Have had the question come up a few times, so I wanted to poll the community to see...

For those who are monitoring LLDP, how have you found the SNMP MIB support support for it on Juniper, Cisco, Brocade, Arista, and others?

Wondering if you've needed to resort to CLI scraping or APIs to get the data?

Thanks,

We use Observium for most of our SNMP monitoring, and it correctly pulls
LLDP and CDP data from all of our Cisco and Arista gear.

My experience with Juniper has been mixed, experience with 12.X and 13.X made me wonder if I had a poor understanding of how to do a proper decode or if Juniper's implementation itself had issues as I would often get incomplete results.

We've now grab over XML and have been pleased with that choice to the point I no longer see it as a "resort" but the most efficient way for us to move forward.  I used to open JTAC cases on each SNMP problem I'd come across [ CoS, mac-accounting ] and it generally wasn't a good use of our time.

I can't speak to Brocade (just haven't been to a customer recently who
has their kit and wants topology), but I've found support from Juniper,
Cisco, and Arista to be very good. As long as the device software load
is reasonably modern and LLDP is lit up everywhere, topology usually
just works.

We added LLDP support a couple years ago to OpenNMS' L2/L3
link-discovery service daemon (on top of CDP, IS-IS, and OSPF).
Everything is done via SNMP, for now anyway. If you read Java, you can
profit from our experience by sifting through the various LLDP-related
classes in our code here:

https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/

Tangentially, we've also been working on integration with OpenDaylight,
which pretty much demands going ReSTful to gather underlay and overlay
topology data.

I've written this to crawl network with CDP+LLDP+SNMP and produce JSON
or dotty output of topology. https://github.com/ytti/netcrawl CDP MIB
is obviously enterprise but LLDP is standard.

LLDP standard itself is in my non-humble opinion broken. There are no
guarantees that standard compliant LLDP will produce useful data.
Standard should allow multiple TLV's to describe port and device.
Standard should mandate that if device implements IP and SNMP, one of
the port TLVs SHOULD be 'ifIndex' and one of the device TLVs  SHOULD
be MGMT IP address.

Hi Michell,

the CCR series from MT is probably is as cost effictive a 10G+ Capable
system that you can use to generate and measure the packet troughput of a
core router under test... check out traffic generator
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/Traffic_Generator

you can generate small packets / large packets ... simulate TCP throughput
and play wireshark pcap files.. .. it is prety comprehensive...  somre of
the configuration syntax is not that intutive ... but its worakable...
any system that I have tested with traffic generator vs  an expensive
calibrated tests the results were always corelating between MT traffic
generator and the expensive testers with an error margin of 1-2 %
I hope that helps...

Peace out

Hi All,

I Am on the lookout for a solution that can monitor IP phones in use on the
network.

 The solution should have

 -- a very intuitive GUI

 -- detailed reporting mechanism.

 --- send basic commands like restart to the phones

 ---- monitor number of active calls on the call manager

 ---- monitor status of trunks > --- can show visual details of two ip
phones in an active call

 --- show details of call quality.

The environment in question is using Cisco Call manager BE7k and cisco Ip
phones.

Thanks in advance.

Segun Rufai

Most of the vendors support standard LLDP-MIB::lldpMIB mib(i.e. Cisco,
Huawei, Juniper, Arista, EdgeCore..).
Only few of them have vendor-specific Mibs(Alcatel, a3com-huawei, Motorola
WiNG).

Anyone here running GRE tunnels between ASR9001series? I am planning to
connect some special-purpose remote sites to my core infra using
unencrypted GRE tunnels and OSPF routing. The estimated bandwidth
requirements are between 500Mbps and several Gbps. I am not planning to use
MPAs, instead the fixed 10G ports

I believe this should present no significant problems to the ASR9001, just
wanted to get a confirmation. Thanks!

Performance will be about 15Mpps per NPU.

Original work. But I lied, I read my notes and performance was capped
at 12Mpps, after which counters which indicate NPU starvation start to
increase.
