IX2

we're planning to have a mcast-ix.dn42 somewhere in the cloud at #dn42 for years now…

now we have a pull req with cosmetical issues only: https://git.dn42.dev/dn42/registry/pulls/2572

the whole idea is to consider the following hypervisor configuration:

dn42ix#show startup-config vdc                                                                                        
vdc definition vm-bri
 connect ethernet2825 vm-switch
 cpu host
 image /rtr/ix/bri.img
 memory 1024
 nic virtio-net-pci
 mac cafe.beef.b00b
 exit
vdc definition vm-clearnet
 local ethernet66602
 local ethernet66603
 connect ethernet66601 vm-switch
 exit
vdc definition vm-jlu5
 connect ethernet1080 vm-switch
 cpu host
 image /rtr/ix/jlu5.img
 cdrom /rtr/ix/jlu5.iso
 memory 1024
 exit
vdc definition vm-lare
 connect ethernet3035 vm-switch
 cpu host
 image /rtr/ix/lare.img
 memory 1024
 exit
vdc definition vm-nop
 connect ethernet1955 vm-switch
 exit
vdc definition vm-routeserver
 exit              
vdc definition vm-switch
 connect ethernet1080 vm-jlu5
 connect ethernet1955 vm-nop
 connect ethernet2825 vm-bri
 connect ethernet3035 vm-lare
 connect ethernet66601 vm-clearnet
 exit

dn42ix#      

now you can have drop-in replacement vm-s to experiment with like whats it looks a like if the ix is provisioned on a juniper vsrx3 shitload or a cisco nxosv or plain freerouter in software mode or in p4dpdk mode….

then publishing a small report on r/networking on behalf of #dn42 measurements

and probably doing even more crazyer projects/experiment if we settle to have a proper dn42 ix finally with low latency shared vlan between the vms…

like a real ix…

static addressing plan, there is a randomized dhcp and slaac on the subnet but consider picking up a static ip and pere with that:

nick/mnter	asn*	your-ipv4-fixed-ip	your-ipv6-fixed-ip	your-ipv6-linklocal	public lg
rtr1-badcorp	1952?	172.23.124.97/27	fde0:93fa:7a0:c1ca::666/64	fe80::260:54ff:fe33:2178	TBD: SOON

TBD: add yourself please here while keeping some ordering

*: so your as number xxxx shortened here, the rigthmost part after the 424242xxxx…. this also will be your ethernetXXXX and so on so just remember this by heart XD

function	console
switch	telnet ix.nop.dn42 20001
route server 1	telnet ix.nop.dn42 20002
bad-corp-rtr1	telnet ix.nop.dn42 20003

it'll be shitload in the beginning but hopefully it could improve the common knowledge….
