[nznog] IPv6 status?

2022-07-13 Thread Richard Hector
Hi all, We've passed the 10th anniversary of World IPv6 Launch Day, but it doesn't seem like we've got very far? What happened to the Task Force? The site says it's archived, or is there a new one? Cheers, Richard ___ NZNOG mailing list --

Hi all, Hopefully this is acceptable here ... I have a VPS (with a well-known NZ provider) which I can ping, but can't ssh to. tcptraceroute stops a couple of hops in (I think the first to not respond is our immediate ISP's immediate upstream). From a different house/ISP, I can connect

[nznog] decent SOHO switches?

2019-06-27 Thread Richard Hector
Hi all, I hope this isn't too far off topic. What's available in the way of managed switches (at least including 802.1q VLANs) at a suitable price for a small office? The (8-port) one I bought 4 years ago, even at the time the https ui didn't work, because browsers had stopped supporting old
