<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hello All,<br><br></div>I have just turned on an AS112 node at MBIX - <a href="http://www.mbix.ca">http://www.mbix.ca</a><br><br></div>Manitoba Internet Exchange is located in Winnipeg, Canada. The exchange is so new that there are only 2 peers: AS112 and MBIX itself. I'm actually using AS112 as the first MBIX connected AS.<br>
<br></div>I implemented my node on an old IBM 335 with a 2.8 GHz P4 and 1 GB of RAM. eth0 is plugged into the management switch, and has a globally routable unique IP address. eth1 is plugged into the MBIX peering switch. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Quagga and Bind 9 are providing the core software features.<br>
<br>I assigned the IP addresses to my loopback interface, and followed RFC 6304 for the configuration of Quagga and Bind 9. Pretty informative RFC, I would say.<br><br></div>I'm getting authoritative answers for the reverse zones from another test host (what will be a route server) from 192.175.46.6 and 192.175.46.42, in about 1 ms. :-)<br>
