This has happened with surprisingly little upset compared to its aborted attempt last month. I can see that some peers have updated – possibly automatically because they’re using geat.pitbulluk.org instead of the IP address, and Yvan has reconnected too after a long absence. I still wonder where areas 46 and 52 went.

I’m having IPv6 issues presently – router advertisement and prefix delegation is eventually timing out without refresh – but that doesn’t affect anybody here at the moment.

Regards

Subject: [HECnet] IP Address change for A29RT2 (29.2) tomorrow (27th Feb) at 11:00 UTC

Hi,

There will be an IP address change for inbound/outbound DMC, Multinet, GRE and GRETAP connections to A29RT2 (29.2) tomorrow (27^th Feb) at around 11:00 UTC.

82.70.71.174 will change to 77.104.155.22

There will be no change to the IPv6 prefix… apparently.

Please update your routers accordingly… and keep the previous config around, just in case. What could possibly go wrong?

Regards

Keith
