[SLIX Discuss] Re: 10 Years of SLIX - Upgrades!

This year marks the 10th year of SLIX, Salt Lake Internet eXchange.? Thank you to all who have made it possible. This year also marks the most significant upgrades to the SLIX infrastructure in its history.  * ARIN has delegated SLIX an IPv4 /24 and an IPv6 /48:        IPv4: 149.112.13.0/24        IPv6: 2001:504:105::0/48    If you have an existing SLIX IP address at 204.228.158.x, add 10 to    it to find your new IP address.? To find your new IPv6 address, take    this number and make a decimal version of the IPv4 address.? For    example:        204.228.158.4 + 10 = new IPv4 149.112.13.14/24 & IPv6 =        2001:504:105::14/48    These new subnets are live now on the SLIX infrastructure.? There is    no need for admistrative configuration, simply add the new IP    addresses to your SLIX router interface.? I would like to remove the    old SLIX subnets by June 1, 2021, so please migrate soon.  * SLIX has installed IXP Manager with redundant route-servers,    route-collector, and an as112 service.    Use your PeeringDB.com login or contact us for an account to login to:        https://ixp.slix.net    Your account will need to be administratively associated with your    customer/peering entry after this is done.? Once associated, you can    inspect what your SLIX BGP view is of your announcements with the    route-collector (rc1) looking glass.? When you are satisfied that    this is ready, I can add you to the route-servers to peer with    everyone else.? You can also continue to peer directly with other    SLIX peers, but they will need to change their IP address to the new    subnet.    For those of you who are unfamiliar with a route-server, it    essentially offloads all the work of peering at an exchange and    intelligently filters for you.? The SLIX route-collector provides a    view of your announcements without sending them to anyone else.?    Both the route-servers and route-collectors are IRR filtered with    RPKI validation.? They update repeatedly throughout the day.    In order to utilize the AS112 service, you either need to peer with    the route-servers, or request direct peering with the AS112 IP    addresses.  * More dark fiber is pending, and equipment has arrived to increase    port capacity to 100Gb. A SLIX 100Gb port is $3000/MRC, with either    payment to SLIX for a QSFP of your choice, or send us one. If you    are interested in upgrading to a 100Gb port, or multiples, please    let us know.  * Mailman has been been upgraded to Mailman3    <https://slix.net/mailman3/postorius/lists/>.  * Follow us on Twitter <https://twitter.com/saltlakeix> and like our    page on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/saltlakeix>! Please let us know if you have any questions, issues or problems.? Here's to open packet exchange in the decades to come! _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list -- discuss(a)slix.net To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave(a)slix.net
