Kicking off #NFD39 with #Graphiant

They have a very unique NaaS product that leverages SRv6 - which hits all the #IPv6 nerd feels for me. 🤓

EVPN/VxLAN Interop – IPv4/IPv6 – MikroTik & IP Infusion Working with MikroTik and IP Infusion’s OcNOS to interop EVPN/VxLAN has been on my wish list for a long time. Both solutions are a great cost-effective alternative to mainstream vendors &#821…

Finally got the EVPN/VxLAN interop testing I've been working on w/ MikroTik and IP Infusion written up into a blog article with full configs.

Have you been exposed to an #IPv6 address at work? You *may* be entitled to compensation!

We didn't know BGP could be so much fun, but look at those faces! @stubarea51.bsky.social, @andylapteff.bsky.social, and Jeff Clark had a blast diving into BGP, and they just scratched the surface. This episode may turn into a series.

New episode drops Wednesday morning.

Getting closer to #MikroTik RouterOS 7.20 stable!

Glad to see the attention on BGP and getting more bugs getting fixed :)

I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with the #MikroTik EVPN implementation & created an interop lab with #IPInfusion OcNOS

The OcNOS core acts as a BGP route reflector for both the IPv4 & EVPN AFIs which allows the MikroTik routers to create dynamic VTEPs using EVPN.

Will this ever be a place to talk enterprise tech?

#MikroTik continues to expand BGP route filtering capabilities.

New in 7.20.x, the input.accept-nlri command allows routes learned to be filtered before they enter memory. Useful if you're taking in a large number of routes and don't need all or most of them.

#MikroTik 7.20beta8 is out!

This post has been a long time in the making... I consistently get the question about my thoughts about VMware alternatives.

Don't forget the DIY EMP generator....just in case. Who cares if you fry all of your neighbors' tech toys. At least you won't have Skynet on your conscience.

I should have called it an "AI-ready" feature 🤑

Big news for #MikroTik operators that need to create filters for BGP and other protocols!!! (Thanks to @BergNetwork (x) for pointing it out!)

Starting in v7.20beta6, they have released a routing-filter wizard to make it easier to create routing filters. Attached are examples😎
