Thank you He.net to have send my IPv6 Sage certified T-Shirt. I really like it. Great quality and thank you to make all of you’ve done for v6 :)

If you read/see videos about OSPF, it will be said that you can only filter on INBOUND or 1/0 on OUTBOUND (via ip ospf database-filter all out / neighbor x.x.x.x database-filter all out). You will say to me, no problem I can filter by means of “area range xxxxx not-advertise” (LSA Type 3) or “summary-address xxxx no-advertise” (LSA Type 5). Ok, now let’s say, I want with distribute-list and ACL, you filter out some routes ?

I have found again this networking game. The first time I play with it was in 2009. It was fun to take some hours to play with it.
It is not hosted by Cisco, so if you want to retrieve the archive you can download it here for those of you that were not in this industry or not know this cisco networking game.

This is possible to run the two address-families under the same OSPF process since Cisco IOS Software Release 15.1(3)S.

You can do this as : R9(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing R9(config)# ipv6 cef

Then : R9(config)# router ospfv3 1 R9(config-router)#address-family ipv4 unicast R9(config-router-af)#router-id 10.1.9.9 R9(config-router-af)#redistribute connected R9(config-router-af)#exit-a

And then configure the OSPF link by means of configuration on the interface : R9(config-router-af)#int ser 3/0 R9(config-if)#ospfv3 1 ipv4 area 236 *May 13 20:31:14.956: %OSPFv3-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, IPv4, Nbr 10.1.6.6 on Serial3/0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done R9(config-if)#ospfv3 1 ipv6 area 236 R9(config-if)#

For those of you who know the excellent web-iou, you will not be surprised that this new project from Andrea is really exciting and amazing.

Dear readers,

If this can help, please find enclosed a Debian package for the network tool bwping : bwping_1.7-1_i386.deb

Have fun :)

For those of you which perform some Aurora Tango tests (BERT, RFC 2544) you may know that a couple of these testers are really expensive ! The principle of these test is to place a tester in loopback and another is test mode. By means of this, you are able to qualify an Ethernet link (direct, Q-in-Q, VPLS, Xconnect).

During my readings of mailing-lists such as cisco-nsp or others, someone posts an URL to a really awesome Linux program : etherate. With modern CPU platform you are able to supply a throughput until 1G, and this program give you the possibility to test your L2 circuits.
