Route Server Prefix Analysis Tool

The Route Server Prefix Analysis tool is something that we have implemented at INEX that our members love. It allows our members to examine what routes they are advertising to the route servers, which are being accepted and which are being rejected.

It is fully documented here with a member facing screenshot. Note that it will only work as currently implemented on Bird route servers.

This tool has been live at INEX now for over a year and we delayed publishing it as there a number of (documented) caveats that we hoped to fix. There's nothing bad - the tool works very well - we just wanted to tidy it. But, as some time has passed, we have decided to publish as is and perhaps revert and tidy later.

Other changes in this release include:

• [IM] Disable this be default as it requires some work to configure (8705144 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
• [NF] Add route server prefix analysis tool script (5ea1bcc - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
• [IM] Limit switch list to active switches only (3a917f0 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
• [BF] Catch linked objects on deletion and issue a readable error message - fixes #140 (aac11dd - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-14)
• [IM] more debugging info when receiving nlris on route server when NH != peer addr (af4c487 - Nick Hilliard - 2014-03-08)
• [IM] Do not arbitrarily restrict password length (87f2637 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-07)

Flexible searching for administrators

This version adds a new search box to the top of the left hand side menu on all administrator pages. It allows for an efficient database search via a number of parameters:

• IPv4 address or last octet
• IPv6 address or last section
• AS Number / Macro
• Partial usernames
• Route server prefixes
• MAC addresses
• Email addresses
• Any other text is searched as %xxx% on customer details

Changelog

• [NF] Wildcard search for customers (da20aeb)
• [NF] Search for route server prefixes (f283c0f)
• [NF] Search for email addresses (a42a26d)
• [NF] Search for usernames (94e137d)

• [NF] Efficient database search for administrators (4b0ad16)

OUI Database, switch serial numbers

This release contains a small number of bug fixes and two new features:

1. Show switch serial numbers on the switch table (if switch model is supported)
2. Add an OUI database and show OUI manufacturer in the MAC address table

Schema update required:

CREATE TABLE oui (
        id INT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL, 
        oui VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, 
        organisation VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, 
        UNIQUE INDEX UNIQ_DAEC0140DAEC0140 (oui), 
        PRIMARY KEY(id)
    ) 
    DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci 
    ENGINE = InnoDB;

You can find additional documentation on populating the OUI database here.
