This is a follow up to my PfSense blog.
One thing that I mentioned in passing is that your ISP does not have to give you a global address on your WAN interface. Your LAN needs one if you want to access the Internet.

The topic of this blog may not be that relevant since IPv6 is being around now for many years.
However, I still see issues once in a while on forums, with IPv6 delegation and how to configure it on PfSense.
Since I can not control how my ISP delegates IPv6 to me, the next best thing is to lab the hell out of it.

Hello there,
A while back, in a galaxy far away, I had a blog (and related posts) about using the ISC DHCP server.
That setup worked very well. However, the ISC DHCP server has been discontinued.
So it was time to try the Kea DHCP server.
It should be a standard setup, Kea is a modern replacement however, I run into a few quirks and it did not help that I was using the latest Ubuntu server version 26.

On that post I did install an almost production Open Nebula cluster. The reason it is almost a production cluster, is because it has some pitfalls.
Continue reading “Open Nebula, VXLAN, EVPN Not, Oh My!”In this blog I will show how to install an OpenNebula cluster from scratch, well almost, using an ISO that allows you to create a minimal configuration. The initial setup can be extended to have an almost functional production setup.

I did create a lab in which I was able to convert a minione server into a 3 node server, with the initial minione server acting as a controller. Eventually I will write how to do that.
This Blog instead is about the travails of configuring Open Nebula and the limitations of Sunstone the GUI. In particular trying to use VXLans and Virtual Routers.

I has been a while. I needed to move my web site and blog. Got new servers in the cloud.
And of course had a few issues migrating them since they are on WordPress.
So buckle up and I will let you know.

This blog is a follow up to my previous blog.
I decided to make it a bit more realistic. So I added another IOS router for redundancy and also use a route reflector for BGP.
Let’s go. Continue reading “SRV6, L3VPN, Route Reflector, Oh My!”
Hello there.
For something completely different now.
I have read about SRV6 and the benefits it brings. Never used it in production though.
Thus I decided give it a try, created a lab and configured it to use SRV6.
So let’s go. Continue reading “SRV6, L3VPN, No MPLS, Oh My!”
Hello there,
I thought I was done with PVE, then I noticed that some users had issues with VLANs, trunks, etc.
In principle it should be fairly straight forward to configure VLANs (not VXLANs) however, using the native Linux way could be a bit complicated sometimes.
OvS on the other hand was created with virtualization in mind and SDN in particular. A key point is that it supports Open Flow and allows for separation of the data plane and control plane.
Understanding and implementing it is easier said that done, so keep on reading.
