Hydra: Token authentication

Hydra is the name for the central IPAM at the University of Oxford. To those of you that did not know this, I will suggest that you may stop reading further as this blog post is not for you.

Right, since you’re still reading, I assume you know about Hydra and are interested enough to know about its changes and developments. This blog post will lay out one new development in particular: a new means of authentication named tokens.

This post goes into a fair bit of detail, but if you want to skip to the Conclusion section at the end, there should be a fairly concise summary.

1. Prerequisite knowledge: authentication vs authorization

Skip this section if you know the difference between these two words within the context of access control.

With a computer interface with any degree of access control, the system needs to verify who you are. This is authentication [authN]. Traditionally this has been done using a shared secret, a password. These days more modern and fancier mechanisms exist such as biometrics and multifactor authentication, but these are just different means to the same end: can you prove who you say you are?

Post authentication the system knows you’re you.  Now, it needs to know what you are authorized to do, or what you’re allowed to read or change. This unsurprisingly is authorization [authZ].

AuthZ and authN are two distinct processes but sometimes they have been merged together, and lines have blurred. Microsoft’s Active Directory springs to mind. In Hydra they are distinct subsystems.

2. History: Hydra, stats and SPNEGO authentication

Ever since Hydra went live, its API has been a very prominent part of the service. There is nothing that you can do in the user interface that is not possible using the API, and for those of you out there who have made use of the API, thank you! We appreciate that it is being used.

To put some numbers out there, there have been 411 “users” (I write “users” in quotes to mean the union of human users and API users) who have updated entries in Hydra. Of those “users”, 5 have been API users. Doesn’t sound like much, but the number of transactions is a bit different: these 5 users account for 39% of all transactions within the system!

Hydra’s authZ database is a join of two data sources, Groupstore and Hydra’s own databases. Groupstore handles the creation of Groups and the assignment of users to them. Hydra then has a mechanism to pull the data into its own database, and augment it with domains and subnet associations to said Groups. Further, ACLs are assigned to DNS zones, but I mention that only for completeness.

On the authN side, currently, the method used depends on what kind of access is being requested. Human users use Shibboleth, and machine API calls use SPNEGO.

Now, the authN system that underpins the API is a tried and tested one shared by other systems, including CUD and SAVANT. This SPNEGO system has some alluring advantages, particularly at the time of Hydra’s introduction:

  1. It made use of the same backend authN (not authZ) database used by users at the time.
  2. The “users” that can authenticate are visible and assignable to Groups in Groupstore. Adding and removing “users” to groups is an identical process for the two types of user.

However, there is this feeling that SPNEGO authentication is rather heavyweight, and it favours Unix-like clients (surprising given that SPNEGO’s first implementation was Microsoft’s!) Whether that feeling is justified or not is not going to be discussed further, but it’s not escaped our notice in the Network Support and Development team that this sentiment exists. Perhaps the 5 Hydra API users is a testament to SPNEGO’s daunting reputation!

As such, we will be hoping to introduce Basic Authentication to Hydra as an additional authN mechanism, called tokens. These tokens’ authZ are totally managed outside of Groupstore and thus do not have the same fine-grained level of control as “users” do.

  1. Each token is only associated with one group. You cannot affiliate one token with multiple groups, not by direct association nor by indirect inheritance.
  2. Tokens can be created, and destroyed. There are no mechanisms by which you can modify an existing token.
  3. Tokens cannot be used for user UI access, or said another way, tokens will only grant the holder API access.

3. Token constraints: masks

If Basic Authentication was all I had to say about tokens, then this blog post could probably have just been a few lines in an email. However, the self imposed limitations above allow us to do something that up until this point has been impossible: further constrain a token by use of masks.

When you create a token, which at creation time is associated to a Group, you will have the opportunity to assign the following masks:

  • Hostname mask
  • IP mask
  • Content mask
  • Target mask

With these masks set wide open, this token will have the same permissions as any “user” in the group. However, the utility comes where these values are set to either blank, in which case the creation of any record of a particular type is impossible, or to some other value, thus constraining the records that can be created.

As an aside, you may be thinking that the word “mask” isn’t accurate here, as these permissions are not based on binary values, and you would be correct. However, I hope some sloppy, but acknowledged, terminology doesn’t get in the way of understanding the core principles of what this system gives you, which is a fairly powerful self-service permissions system. It’s also a word that is close enough to a correct term, and all the other good words were taken!

Some examples may be helpful here:

3.0.1. Example 1: Same permissions as any “user” in the group.

  • hostname: %
  • ip: 0.0.0.0/0,::/0
  • content: %
  • target: %

Note that there are additional checks outside these masks, and so even with these fully permissive values the token will be constrained by the permissions of the zones and of the Group in which it belongs.

3.0.2. Example 2: An A record for any hostname within the group

  • hostname: %
  • ip: 0.0.0.0/0
  • content: [blank]
  • target: [blank]

Note that creation of CNAME, TXT records will not be permitted with these masks. Also no AAAA (IPv6) records are permitted.

3.0.3. Example 3: SPF records for example.org. and example.com.

  • hostname: %.example.(org|com).
  • ip: [blank]
  • content: v=spf1 %
  • target: [blank]

Note that if this token is placed in a group which does not have permissions to edit either example.org or example.com, then this token is incapable of doing anything.

3.0.4. Example 4: SRV records pointing to example.org.

This example is more complicated:

  • hostname: _%.(tls|tcp|udp).%
  • ip: [blank]
  • content: [blank]
  • target: example.org.

Three main points about this example:

This hostname mask is imperfect: the first “%” could include a ’.’ thus breaking the format of an SRV record. To be truly restrictive you would need to use character classes, which I leave as an exercise for the reader, especially since this is an unrealistic example already. For full details on the mask format, please see below.

Secondly, the target can only point to one value. You would not be able to point an SRV record to foo.example.org., for example. If you want that then the target mask needs to be %.example.org. Finally, there is only an implication that this is limited to SRV records. A CNAME record with the same hostname, target values would be just as valid and indeed would be accepted by Hydra. An MX record would be too, except that MX
records cannot begin with ’_’ so would be rejected for that reason.

4. Mask format

Let’s get the easy one out the way: the IP mask is a comma separated list of subnets. It currently only supports IPv4 and IPv6 subnets. Invalid entries (e.g. 0.0.x.0/24, FOOOOO) will be accepted as entries but will be silently ignored by the system at validation time.

For the remaining masks, hostname, content and target, the format uses PostgreSQL’s SIMILAR TO syntax. This, to me, seems to sit between the ease-of-use (if you can call it that) of SQL’s LIKE syntax, and the flexibility and power of regular expressions. To those of you who don’t immerse yourself in the PostgreSQL’s manual pages on a daily basis (you’re missing out), the syntax may be unfamiliar to you, or worse, be similar enough to SQL’s LIKE syntax that you mistake it for that when in fact it’s more flexible and powerful. However, it is hoped that the easy stuff is intuitive enough and that you can use this blog post and documentation as a guide, and failing that there is a whole wealth of non-Hydra-specific documentation on the syntax on the internet already.

As with most things, there’s a level of trust placed on the people creating the tokens, some of it obvious, some of it less so. This is a self service tool, where you can write your own mask. While testing of various inputs has been positive in terms of SIMILAR TO being resistent to ReDoS attacks, that is not an invitation to try! While I myself was not able to cause a timeout, that perhaps is more due to my own lack of imagination: PostgreSQL’s documentation itself warns that using SIMILAR TO is a potential vector for a DoS attack. As such, we will be monitoring the backend for malicious masks and all tokens will be forever associated with the username of the person who created it.

On the subject of performance, masks will only be referenced on record changes, because they are slow for lookups. Said another way, masks are not consulted for retrieving records. For most use-cases this will be fine, but it should be noted a token API request will be given all records belonging to its group regardless of masks, and such a token query may well provide a record that fails mask validations upon edit.

5. Who can create these masks, and what’s the timescale?

I said earlier that this functionality was completely detached from Groupstore, but in reality that was an oversimplification: If you are a manager of a Group in Groupstore, you will have the ability to create tokens for that group.

Much of the functionality is written and ready for deployment, but not all of it, and as such there is no firm release schedule. The reason that this blog post is being posted in advance of the feature’s (maybe) imminent release is that for those of you who are wishing to automate say ACME challenges, then a path of lower resistence and higher security is on the horizon, so please sit tight! Further firmer announcements will be made on the ict-a maillist. To start a discussion on the topic, please make use of the hydra-discuss maillist.

6. Conclusion

Hydra’s API, which up until now has been secured using SPNEGO authentication, will be augmented with a new method, Basic Authentication, using tokens. Further, these tokens may be further constrained by masks such that they may be shared with third parties while not exposing your entire IP and domain estate to them. The assignment of masks will be self-service.

Hydra DHCP migration: what, when, why and how

This post assumes you know about the University’s central DHCP provision and have some interest in its migration to a new management platform.

Towards the end of 2019 the DNS management platform for University of Oxford migrated to a custom-built IPAM platform called Hydra. It was originally planned for the DHCP platform to be merged into the Hydra system within a year, but a few world events got in the way and things were delayed a little. However, we are now at the stage where some departments have already made the switchover to this new system with mercifully little drama. The process is reasonably straightforward and we are now taking the steps to wind down our old platform and give it the send off it deserves.

There is a dedicated help and support channel for pre- and post-migration – the Hydra DHCP Migration channel within the MS Teams ITSS Community team.  This will be open until the end of September.

Short overview of what’s happening if you’re in a rush

DHCP management platform is migrating from the old platform to a new one: Hydra, from 7-12 September 2023. Subnets which are configured to use the central DHCP service but haven’t used it recently (past three months) will not be migrated. All other subnets will be migrated and  you may need to take action:

  • Sanitise input data
  • Update helper addresses
  • Update firewalls and ACLs e.g. DHCP snooping

Why migrate?

This is a reasonable question with hopefully a reasonable answer. The current system is old, and its eccentricities have fossilised over the many years that it has provided good enough service. Hydra DHCP is promising to be a more resilient platform, and more importantly it is flexible enough to provide you, assuming you the reader have sufficient permissions, self-service facilities which until now have not been available:

  1. Changing DHCP pool size
  2. Modifying DHCP options
  3. Modifying an existing DHCP reservation rather than deleting, waiting 5 minutes, then creating.
  4. Modifying DNS records and DHCP reservations in a single page.
  5. Bulk modification of reservations

What is migrating?

Any subnet that is currently using the DHCP servers located at 163.1.2.2 and 129.67.1.2 will require migration to a new pair of IP helpers (129.67.1.11, 163.1.2.11). Not sure if your subnet will be migrated? You can check on the list of subnets on the Network Support and Development Team wiki.

What isn’t migrating?

On the old system is a lot of flotsam and jetsam: subnets that are no longer in use, or subnets that no longer use the central DHCP servers. We have made a judgement call that if there have been no leases given within a 3 month period, then they are to not to be migrated to the new system. The subnets are listed in our Wiki.

If you believe these subnets should be migrated, for example they are rarely rather than never used, then please get in contact with us as soon as possible.

When will the migration happen?

We will be making the current system read-only on Thursday 7 September 2023 at 10am. This will give us enough time to migrate the ~80 subnets before Tuesday 12 September, 10am, after which time we will have updated the DHCP helpers to point to the new system.

You are more than welcome to migrate prior to this date. Migrating before this will give you a much smaller change freeze as we port the data from the old platform to the new. Please get in touch if you would like to migrate earlier.

Do I need to do anything before of after the migration?

Maybe. How much action you need to take depends on your networking setup and your current reservation dataset. There are potentially three main actions to help ensure a smooth upgrade:

Data sanitisation

Hydra DHCP and the current system need a DHCP daemon to actually serve the clients with the data stored in their respective databases. We have taken the opportunity to switch the DHCP daemon from ISC DHCP to ISC Kea. What this particular change means for you is hopefully not very much, but the former accepts data that the latter rejects. Further, Hydra DHCP further constrains input data by rejecting reservations for an IP address with no corresponding DNS record.

To that end, there are reservation lists that are valid under the current system that will not be valid input for Hydra DHCP. We have made available a list of these subnets. For all migrating subnets, we have made available to you the raw data that will be input into Hydra. Its format is not that important, but what is important is if there is something that needs attention. These will be at the bottom of the file and hopefully easy enough to understand.

DHCP helper migration

This is documented in the migration process wiki page, but in short if you host the SVI (gateway) of your subnet, you will need to update the DHCP helper addresses. This should be done shortly after 12 September.

Firewall updates

There is a chance that we in Network Support and Development host the SVI of your subnet, but you in your college and department run ACLs such as DHCP snooping. If this is you, you will need to permit the new IP service addresses for DHCP: 129.67.1.11, 163.1.2.11. During the migration window change freeze, please have all four addresses in place to aid the switchover.

How do you migrate?

The process is documented on the Networks Support and Development wiki. The steps were written when we were doing subnet-by-subnet migrations rather than the bulk migration mentioned above. This can still be you! Please do contact us if you want to migrate in advance of the old system switch-off, with all the benefits that entails.

As mentioned above, we have a list of subnets which will not migrate smoothly without human intervention. If you want the human to be someone in Netdev, we will resolve using the following algorithm:

  • Reservations without a corresponding DNS record will not be ported
  • Multiple reservations occupying the same IP address will be pruned, with the most recent reservation chosen
  • Similarly for multiple identical MAC reservations pointing at multiple IPs within the same subnet

I cannot stress enough that this may knock clients off your network! I would strongly recommend you eyeball the data we have on your subnets before the migration and make the necessary changes.

Post migration

After the migration process completes on 12 September, DHCP updates are made on the Hydra IPAM that you’ll have been using for DNS management these past few years.

There is help on using Hydra DHCP in the Hydra IPAM help section and a simple walk-through guide on the Networks wiki.

Summary of actions

Subnet’s router is on the FroDo

  1. look for and correct any errors in your subnet’s configuration data before 7 September: MS Teams > ITSS Community > Hydra DHCP Migration > Files > migration-output > $date > errors > $subnet.errors.txt
  2. if you have any firewall ACLs or switch config (e.g. DHCP snooping) that references 129.67.1.2 and 163.1.2.2, add 129.67.1.11 and 163.1.2.11

Subnet’s router is self-hosted

  1. look for and correct any errors in your subnet’s configuration data before 7 September: MS Teams > ITSS Community > Hydra DHCP Migration > Files > migration-output > $date > errors > $subnet.errors.txt
  2. if you have any firewall ACLs or switch config (e.g. DHCP snooping) that references 129.67.1.2 and 163.1.2.2, add 129.67.1.11 and 163.1.2.11
  3. change your router’s DHCP relay addresses (sometimes called IP helpers) from 129.67.1.2 and 163.1.2.2 to 129.67.1.11 and 163.1.2.11 at some point between the end of data migration on 12 September and the retirement of the legacy platform on 26 September

eduroam 802.1X deviceauth refresh

Do you recognize the following web form?

Registration form for 802.1X devices against the RA RADIUS server

If you don’t then you can stop reading. If you do then, even if you haven’t had occasion to fill it in often, please read on as there are changes coming.

Above is the registration form to permit a device (probably a NAS but could be an individual AP; these are not laptops or phones) at a given IP to make RADIUS auth and acct requests against the central Remote Access RADIUS servers, the authentication mechanism currently used for University of Oxford eduroam accounts. The page also allows you to see your existing registrations and remove them.

Over the years this web page has been given the odd spruce but its roots as a CGI Perl script (thus referred to as the “CGI version” from now on) haven’t changed and it very much is a product of its generation. They haven’t changed yet, I should say.

Ready for an imminent release is a new page that will take over the duties of the existing form. It’s still written in Perl (because Perl is the best programming language in existence) but is now not based on CGI.pm, which is probably a good thing. Here’s the new form:

New registration form for 802.1X devices against the RA RADIUS server

Why should you care? Under normal circumstances we probably would just roll this out without much fanfare. However there are some necessary yet fundamental changes under the hood that probably will affect you. You need to know about them before we release it.

Permissions

Perhaps the largest change that will affect you is permissions. The CGI version bases its ACLs around your ITSS affiliation. If you’re ITSS for Aardvark College say, then you have permission to add an IP address. What range of IP addresses are available for you, the ITSS of Aardvark, to add? Well this system is an old system so for reasons I will elaborate shortly, any IP address within the University will be accepted, belonging to any unit. That’s not ideal. [As an aside, please do not take the opportunity to register every one of our ~130k IP addresses, for jokes. I will know who you are, and I will come find you.]

Permission to deregister is similarly done by ITSS affiliation. Here you need to be a member of the unit that was assigned to the device at registration time. This makes it awkward when another ITSS accidentally registered something on your subnet range. In this case you can neither see the registration nor delete it. I should note that to the best of my knowledge this has not come up as an issue, and please let’s keep it that way.

At the heart of the problem is the fact that when this tool was originally written (decades ago) nothing existed that mapped a subnet to a college or department. Today though, a system exists which maps University subnets to Hydra Groups in Groupstore, and each unit (college and department) has a Hydra Group associated with them. So, can we just check you are an ITSS for the Group in question and carry on as before, adding constraints that you can only add IPs belonging to your Group? No, because there is a problem:  Groupstore contains more Hydra Groups than just those affiliated with units. In addition subnets have been assigned to teams within units (small case teams, not Microsoft Teams). These Groups exist outside of OakLDAP and thus do not have any ITSS.

The solution is fairly obvious: the Hydra Groups in Groupstore contain members which we can reuse. The downside is that not everyone who is an ITSS is in their unit’s Groupstore group. In practice I do not think this list will be large, but it needs explictly saying, hence the blog post.

Perhaps now is a good place to point out that Groupstore is a rather powerful and flexible beast. Inside its belly is a large chunk of CUD and OakLDAP data, and as such if you wish to have Groups dynamically update as, for example, your ITSS membership changes, that’s a one-off configuration change. Said another way, if you wish for a Group to contain the ITSS for a particular Unit, you inherit memberships and thereafter this Group will be up-to-date and you don’t need to do anything.

Summary: CGI system uses ITSS affiliation for ACLs. New system will check for Group membership in Groupstore, and also check permissions against the IP address being registered.

Autocleaning

An overhaul of the system affords us to look at what’s not working with the current system. One thing is the proliferation of unused or abandoned registrations. We’ve made some efforts to highlight them where we can (a telltale sign is the lack of a DNS record) but it’s come to the stage when some kind of automated housekeeping is in order. Thus, with the new system, we will be removing registrations that have not contacted our central RADIUS servers within 120 days. If you wish to subsequently make use of RADIUS via that IP you will need to reregister.

In practice 120 days should be a large enough window to send something. I cannot imagine a NAS lying dormant that whole time.

Summary: Registrations will be autoremoved after 120 days of device inactivity.

Extra features

On their own, the following enhancements do not merit a blog post, but since you’re here and still reading, I will mention them:

  • The new page will allow you to bulk remove registrations. Just click the [X] next to the registrations you wish to remove and then confirm at the top of the page.
  • For the registration form, you will notice that there is now no option to select the unit/group. The group will be inferred based purely on the IP being registered.
  • Better error messages will tell you exactly what the problem is if you add an invalid IP address
  • Not relevant today, but the new system is IP version agnostic, although there are some issues currently around this still, the main one being we do not yet have a production IPv6 RADIUS service address.

Timescales

The new system is done, tested and ready for deployment. If there is any comment or question that you wish to pass on then please do get in touch via the appropriate channels. We have nominally pencilled in 30th November 2022 for the upgrade, and this is coordinated in CR#20015059

Conclusion

To restate the summaries above:

  • RADIUS deviceauth registration currently uses ITSS affiliation for its ACLs. The new system will check for Group membership in Groupstore, and also check permissions against the IP address being registered.
  • Registrations will be autoremoved after 120 days of device inactivity.

These are minor, but visible changes so please do make a note of them and update your Groupstore Groups accordingly.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on 5510 FroDo Upgrade Resumption (September 2022)

Odin Frodo – HPE 5510 Firmware Upgrades (July 2022)

Dear ITSS,

It is our intention to upgrade all of our Odin HPE 5510 FroDos during July and the first week of August. This will be moving the firmware from R1311P02 to R3507P02.

The upgrades will be carried out starting on Wednesday 6th July and will be performed in groups of 20 -30 devices per day.   We have been running the firmware on a pilot group of FroDos in advance of the main upgrade activity. This includes 13 Banbury Road, Dartington House, a small number of colleges and all of our small MDX rooms. Option 1 and 2 FroDos were also included in this group. To date we have not experienced any issues with the firmware. A spreadsheet with the schedule will also be attached on the ITSS Announcement email.

Apologies for the length of this post (there are a lot of FroDos!) – we will work on an improved, more targeted, way of communicating this to you for the next round of upgrades.

The devices will be scheduled to reload to pick up their new firmware at 07:00 on each morning, service interruption is expected to be between 5 – 10 minutes. Please contact us on networks@it.ox.ac.uk if there are any queries.

Posted in General Maintenance, Odin | Comments Off on Odin Frodo – HPE 5510 Firmware Upgrades (July 2022)

Odin FroDo Upgrades 2021

Dear ITSS,

It is our intention to upgrade all of our Odin HPE 5510 FroDos in September. This will be moving the firmware from R1311P02 to R3506P11. We are not upgrading the DCDIST/HPE 5940 FroDos, we do not expect new code to be released for these devices until the new year.

The upgrades will be carried out starting next week (w/c 13/09/2021 ) and will be performed in groups each day, Tuesday to Thursday, over a period of three weeks.  We have been running the code on the Banbury Rd FroDo for the last week and will also be upgrading a few more IT services/UAS devices this week.

Impact

The expected impact is ~5-10 minutes for all customers as the FroDo reloads to pick up the new firmware, unfortunately this firmware is not ISSU (In Service Software Upgrade) compatible with the previous release so the impact will be similar for Option 2 customers.

We will be carrying out the upgrades from 07:30 each morning as part of an automated process.

If there are any further queries please contact us on networks@it.ox.ac.uk 

Schedule

We have attempted, where possible, to group devices around main sites and annexes so that those sites will only see one period of disruption from the upgrade process.

OWL Visitor refresh – Timetable

This blog post is an expansion on the previous post about Tawny OWL to give timescales.

The upgrade of the FroDos to re-route OWL traffic from the current system to the new one (called Tawny) is roughly a two stage process:

1) Configure the Frodo to set up the relevant VLANs and L3VPNs.
2) Associate the existing OWL ports with the new VLAN.

Step one can happen without any effect on existing traffic and we will be doing that on all FroDos before we move onto step 2.

Step 2 will be done in batches to aid us in testing successful migration testing. Also, note that if you are a COWLS customer, we will be applying the change to your FroDos just for completeness. Nothing will change with respect to existing connectivity.

The listing goes as follows:

OWL Visitor refresh

This post aims to give a bit more background and detail around the announcement to IT Support Staff regarding the forthcoming refresh to the OWL Visitor service.

What are we doing?

We’re replacing the captive portal component of the service.  This is the part that shows the visitor login page as well handling things like the firewall rules and NAT.

The images below show the current (l) and new (r) portal login pages.

We are not changing anything else about the service so the account management system, administration of account administrators and visitor RADIUS servers all remain the same.

 

When are we doing it?

The main roll out is scheduled to take place on 3rd March 2020.

IT Services has been running the new OWL since 14th January, so pop along to 13 Banbury Road if you want to take an early look.

We are inviting ITSS to help us test the new system from early February so please let us know if you’d like to take part.  (The networks team has no access to test clients and so has only been able to test with what its staff members happen to use).

 

Why are we doing it?

  1. The current OWL portal has been running for 15 years.  That’s over 100 in dog years and it has a number of limitations commensurate with its age.
  2. The University rejected JISC’s eduroam Visitor Access service as an OWL replacement on Information Security grounds.
  3. The OWL portal doesn’t support TLS versions above 1.0 (see point 1).  This will become an issue in March when the major browser vendors start dropping support for TLS 1.0.

 

How are we doing it?

A new VRF has been deployed across Odin (campus backbone) with its gateway being a new pair of servers running pfSense.  On changeover day, your OWL FroDo port is simply associated with the new VRF.  This allows us to easily roll out on a FroDo by FroDo basis and revert if necessary.

Hydra – a new DNS/IPAM platform

We are pleased to announce the forthcoming launch of Hydra – our new DNS and IP Address Management platform.

This will replace the current DNS web management tool.

 

Timetable

The last DNS update for the current system will be at 18:00 on Friday, 29 November 2019.

Hydra will go live during the morning of Tuesday, 03 December 2019.

There will be an Early Life Support period until the end of January 2020 during which the Hostmaster team will make edits on your behalf.

 

Things to do now as ITSS01

Check the lists of domains and subnets to make sure your Unit owns all the resources you think it should.  There’s also a handy summary list.  Please contact <networks@it.ox.ac.uk> to claim any you believe you should own.

Unless you’re happy to be the only person able to edit your Unit’s DNS records, you’ll need to gain access to Groupstore so that you can edit the your Unit’s members group.

Read the help pages and also play in the sandpit.  The sandpit uses a non-production database so you can try things out without worrying about affecting live data.

Book onto one of two ITSS sessions (15 and 24 October) where you can ask any questions you may have.

DC Distributor FroDo – Upgrades November 2019

Introduction      

We would like to announce the upgrade of the version of Comware running on our DC Distributor FroDos. This follows on from the recent upgrade of all customer FroDos during September and the start of this month.

This blog entry aims to answer the majority of questions that this work will raise. Please, however, feel free to contact the Networks team with any further questions at networks@it.ox.ac.uk

Why?

As part of ongoing maintenance it is essential that we keep our FroDo software up to date. The new version of software being deployed addresses a number of vulnerabilities and bugs. This takes us from R2612H01 to R2702 for these devices.

Impact

All DC Distributor FroDos are HPE 5940’s running in an IRF pair. As a result, we can use the HPE In Service Software Update (ISSU) feature which aims to minimise impact to traffic passing through the FroDo pair as it is upgraded.

The DC distributors do run a variety of customer annexe connections into the DC sites Frodo and this information is listed within Huggin. Just enter the name or frodo number. Any customers who do not have an aggregated annexe connection across both devices will be affected as the single device they connect to reloads. The reload time for a HPE 5940 is ~10 minutes.

Finally, we have recently migrated several services from the old service spine onto pairs of DC distributors. With that in mind I have provided a list, in upgrade order, of the central services that are hosted on each device.

It is important to remember that we have resilience in the form of IRF as well as the service being provided from two distinct dcdist FroDos. However, as with all upgrades, there is an element of risk and therefore the services themselves should be considered at risk during the upgrade window.
