Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 6

Mine is still down. Openserve, Westville, Durban. Failing to get public IP and timeout waiting for PADO packets.
 
Hi all, I dont see any outages on any NLDs.

I am having the team investigate anyway.

But it does sound like a Vumatel outage, Openserve in conjunction is maybe a coincidence.

Any luck?

Still down and getting the same error message of being unable to get a public IP address and timeout waiting for PADO packets.
 
A customer of ours created a broadcast storm in KZN we had to shut their port. Everything should be back to normal.

Does your team not use any protection against this? depending on what type of storm it was be it ARP/DHCP or a STP issue there should be a way to enforce limits to keep your core switches up and running.

If i recall you guys still run Cloud Router Switches from Mikrotik surely a rule can be setup to allow x amount of packets on protocol x to be allowed and beyoned this be "timed out" for a certain peroid if it occurs 5 times notify your NOC for investigation.

This is mainly how i did my bigger networks while i was still working with a vendor for and assisting a rather large MSP unless there is a reason behind why it cannot be stopped?

No STP at the upstream?

Something is not configured right somehwere for any client equipment to cutoff a whole area or region should not be acceptable or allowed if CISP is looking for a decent Network Engineer i would happily assist.

On the vendor designed Switches/OLTs we had we have many ways to detect and block this but then again do not know the full situation nor what CISP runs for Core Networking as said i belive its mainly Mikrotiks not sure if that has changed.

Its often not so simple to just enable STP.

We dont use mikrotik switches, we tried them a few years ago but had a really bad experience.

We use Ciscos and Aristas, we dont actually interface with too many other networks aside from FNOs so it was just the incorrect policy on that port. This has been changed to disable on any sort ot BC storm.
