[as112-ops] AS112 operational at MBIX

[Jonathan Stewart]

Hello All,

I have just turned on an AS112 node at MBIX - http://www.mbix.ca

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.

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.

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.

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. :-)

Example:
jstewart at rs1:~$ dig @blackhole-2.iana.org -x 10.10.10.10

; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @blackhole-2.iana.org -x 10.10.10.10
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

hostmaster.root-servers.org. 1 604800 60 604800 604800

;; WHEN: Tue Jun 11 03:10:52 2013
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 119

So i think everything is working fully.

Is there anything i'm forgetting, or other tests i could do?

as112.mbix.ca is the globally unique IP address.

Cheers,
