2009-09-24 Thread Markus Åberg
You are aware of what kind of testing we are talking about with Miercom and 
Tolly..? 

The tests are paid for by one vendor in order to typically put focus on some 
corner case problem in another vendors equipment.

I am not saying that the specific results obtained are wrong, but it is 
probably very interesting to see the test parameters and configurations used in 
the test to be able to verify how realistic they are for real-world scenarios. 

Information contained in this report is based upon results observed a Cisco 
facility in San Jose, CA. Test cases were based on parameters set by Cisco.

Thanks,

[j-nsp] Experience with J series

2009-09-24 Thread Gregory Agerba
 Hi,

I am currently looking after a review for a pair of Juniper J2350.

The purpose is to build a mission-critical Internet access with two ISP (one
on each box running full table) and have a VRRP fault tolerance and with a
small budget. It is not for pushing huge traffic, I expect around 1 to 3
Mbit average and some rare peaks at 8 - 10 Mbit during backup timeframes.

The features I will be using are firewall ( 30 ACLs), BGP, OSPF (both IPv4
and IPv6) and maybe one VPN tunnel + QoS (?).

According to the technical datasheet, this gear supports 1 GB of DRAM and
handle a maximum ~ 300k BGP routes.

I have seen in some lists that these models now can be upgraded to 2 GB of
DRAM with just no issue. Some people report having had successful experience
handling 500k routes with these littles gears.

I am just looking after some experience with them in this kind of
environment. By the way, does this box include any GUI software to maintain
firewall ACLs?

Thanks.

Have you tested MX also during RIB or FIB changes?  I'd like to use 
this as a soapbox.  On Juniper platforms, when a next-hop changes, 
this results in first DELETE and then (maybe much later) ADD 
operations in FIB.  We have noticed that when BGP next-hop changes for 
300K prefixes, this has led to up to 7 minutes of packet loss due to a 
lack of FIB entry for a destination. This was seen on T-series, but MX 
has the same architectural limitations.  This slowness was introduced 
sometime in JunOS 8.x. And this is working as designed and no way 
to speed it up.


Hopefully at some point someone will do performance testing in these 
kind of scenarios as well; I don't recall seeing such a test myself.

If I remember correctly, they configured things that caused some sort of memory 
search cycle to be exhausted, which is something that is not possible in a 
TCAM-based solution.  In addition, they used cheap LAN modules to make it 
look as though the 7600 was low cost, even though they fail to mention that 
those LAN modules don't support the same features that the M10i GE ports did.  
You would have to purchase OSM/SIP modules to support those same features, 
which raises the cost considerably.  There was also something having to do with 
the specific number of ACL entries, which makes me question why in this new 
report, do they choose specifically 2010 and 4020 VPNs.  Not sure if it has any 
significance, but it sounds hinky to me.

Well, we saw something similar (that I've described on this list several
times) but not exactly what you described, starting somewhere in 7.x and
continuing until 8.5 where it was fixed on most platforms (including
MX). Basically what happens is during a path change when it adds the new
path and removes the old, something will cause the update process to
stall, resulting in many minutes taken to install the new path into the
hardware. If you did a show route on it while it is trying to make the
update, you'll see a - on the old path and a + on the new path as it
tries to update the FIB. It seemed like something would cause one 
particular update to stall, which would block that and all further 
updates behind that from taking effect for some number of minutes. Back 
on the M160 this could be 30 minutes to in some cases hours, but when we 
saw it on MX 7 minutes was a good average value. Eventually whatever 
route update was stalling things would go through, and then all the 
other routes that were stuck behind it would come flooding through. If 
you did a show bgp summary during this event, the stuck routes would 
show up in the Pending state counter up top.

This normally didn't cause any packet loss for us, as it would keep
forwarding via the old path until the new one became active. If the
next-hop became invalid it would pull the routes immediately (or at
least, we never got a complaint or saw an example where it didn't, in
the many hundreds of times we observed this behavior over the years).
The only time we would see packet loss was when the old path would drop
BGP and not be able to continue to forward traffic, but not drop link. 
We complained about this for years and years, it went from we don't see
this to we can't reproduce this to we have no idea whats causing
this. Eventually at 8.5 it become we changed a whole bunch of things
to try and fix this, but they never did tell us exactly what. After 8.5
we have not seen this problem since, at least on the MX platform (and we
tossed all our M160s into the nearest landfill). Ironically enough the
problem still exists on J-series running JUNOS (real JUNOS, we stopped
testing after it was unfixed in the last JUNOS version to be released
before the switch to -ES), despite there not actually being a hardware
fib that needs updating. This pretty much put a kibosh on plans to use
J-series as a BGP route-reflector, since BGP will not propagate the
route change to other neighbors until it successfully installs the new
path in its own FIB. If anyone from Juniper wants to step forward and
describe what the problem or fix was I'd be interested in hearing it,
our original issue was spread out over too many years and too many PRs
to ever get anyone to even understand the question let alone give us a
straight answer.

No Problem. J2350's are capable of this easily. e/iBGP with full

Processing 8-10mbit/sec would hardly sweat the box.

Yep. 30 ACL's with no issues (assuming straightforward things). Full  
BGP Tables, OSPF area 0.0.0.0 inside, QoS, IPSEC.


According to the technical datasheet, this gear supports 1 GB of  
DRAM and

handle a maximum ~ 300k BGP routes.


I've seen much more in 1 Gb of RAM.; however 300k routes is fine for

spare.


I have seen in some lists that these models now can be upgraded to 2

Yes. I've worked with J4350's and J6350's with 2 Gb of RAM, holding 2  
complete eBGP tables each and an iBGP table. for a total of 800k  
routes. Also seen it (by misconfiguration) hold 1.2 Million routes in  
BGP/inet.0.



I am just looking after some experience with them in this kind of
environment. By the way, does this box include any GUI software to

Full GUI supported (web-Gui on the box) - however, as always, the

Good. Juniper probably ensure at least 300k routes, with other features
turned on.

I rarely use GUI. On Cisco they produce loads of useless lines. I am a big
fan of CLI since my first Linux box. However, that's more in case someone
less skilled has to take it and add a firewall rule in case I am off few
days or whenever my plane would crash, until they change them.

I've seen JunOS generates nice OpenBGPd-like configuration files. I am
familiar with HP cli and Foundry CLI. I've also heard that JunOS is way
different than Cisco but that once you get used to the synthax, you don't
want to get back on Cisco one.

However, that is no big risk. They seem to be a nice option at all levels:
price, performances and features. I am just not sure to buy the DRAM from
Juniper, 800$ for one extra GB is a bit expensive.

Re: [j-nsp] cannot see hard disk

2009-09-24 Thread Jonathan Looney
If your system booted without the hard disk, it is likely the hard disk was
removed from the boot order.  If the hard disk was removed from the boot
order, it won't show up in show chassis hardware details (at least in my
experience).  It probably won't even show up in the boot messages.  However,
that does not mean that the hard disk is permanently destroyed, defective,
etc.; rather, it just means that the system detected an error (whether
transient or fatal) and stopped using it (including removing it from the
boot order).

I believe there is at least one way to re-add it to the boot order; however,
it involves dropping down to the shell (and, therefore, is not supported
without JTAC blessing).  You should probably contact the JTAC for help.

machdep.bootdevs: pcmcia-flash,compact-flash,disk,lan

Repeat  'sysclt-a | grep bootdevs' to ensure that it was changed.

If it happens again, there is most likely something wrong with the hard disk 
which seems to be common on the M7i, then your options are to RMA the RE if you 
have support, if not you can replace with a SSD drive.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [j-nsp] cannot see hard disk

If your system booted without the hard disk, it is likely the hard disk was
removed from the boot order.  If the hard disk was removed from the boot
order, it won't show up in show chassis hardware details (at least in my
experience).  It probably won't even show up in the boot messages.  However,
that does not mean that the hard disk is permanently destroyed, defective,
etc.; rather, it just means that the system detected an error (whether
transient or fatal) and stopped using it (including removing it from the
boot order).

I believe there is at least one way to re-add it to the boot order; however,
it involves dropping down to the shell (and, therefore, is not supported
without JTAC blessing).  You should probably contact the JTAC for help.

If not you could also replace the hard disk with another one or even a new SSD 
drive. I just went through this if you need assistance.

[j-nsp] flowfilter IPv6 does not work

2009-09-24 Thread Felix Schueren

All,

just a quick heads up: flowfilter (aka flowspec aka inetflow) does not 
work with ipv6. And it took JTAC just two weeks to figure it out...


JTAC wrote:
 [...] flow filters in IPv6 are not supported

A shame, really, as flowfilter is one of the best features ever. I hope 
they'll add v6 sooner rather than later, it's an invaluable tool for v4. 
I don't want to go back to having to blackhole /128s...


Kind regards,

Felix

[j-nsp] LX SFP Question

2009-09-24 Thread Paul Stewart
Hi folks...

Does anyone know the tolerance of the LH SFP's from Juniper?  We are trying
to get an EX3200 switch configured and ready for production - have a case
open at JTAC but haven't been able to resolve.  In fairness to the JTAC
engineer, I haven't had a lot of time to troubleshoot except for performing
a software upgrade which has been completed (9.4)

The link is up/up from the EX3200 to a Cisco 6500 but the distance at the
moment (while testing) is literally 15' or so.  In the Cisco world we have
no problem on such short distances but wondering if something is different
or causing a problem for the Juniper.

We see up/up and at one point were seeing a MAC address but unable to access
the Management VLAN on the switch (only VLAN configured at the moment).
Since the software upgrade we cannot see a MAC address even which has me
wondering about the connection running too hot

JTAC verified that the configuration is correct - Cisco TAC has verified
that the IOS configuration is correct.

Many thanks,

Paul

Set no negotiate on the interface. This is most likely the problem.

Did you try pulling up the optical transmit and receive dB windows from the
spec sheets?  That'd be the first thing I'd look into to determine if you
need to put in an attenuator.

Re: [j-nsp] Miercom Competitive Performance Testing Results: Cisco ASR9000 vs Juniper MX960

On Thu, 24 Sep 2009, Richard A Steenbergen wrote:

Well, we saw something similar (that I've described on this list several
times) but not exactly what you described, starting somewhere in 7.x and
continuing until 8.5 where it was fixed on most platforms (including
MX).


For reference, this thread from Feb 2007 describes it at least once:
http://www.mail-archive.com/juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net/msg00188.html

We saw this issue as well, but it apparently (for us), resulted in in 
RIB sync slowness only; there was no (apparent, or at least major) 
packet loss.


Somewhere around 8.x -- maybe 8.5 or earlier -- it got worse instead 
of got fixed.  Now it's causing significant packet loss as well. 
Maybe we have a cornercase that got worse.  Or there really are some 
architecture specific differences that might explain the difference in 
behaviour (in particular I'm speculating about VERY old, memory/CPU 
constrained T320 FPCs).  But the bad news is that JTAC's response is 
that this is working as designed.
