[AusNOG] Megaport/MegaIX Escalations

[Mitchell Zeglis]

Hi All,

Has anyone had much experience dealing with Megaport/MegaIX's? I'm peering
with MegaIX at a number of locations however having issues peering to them
in Brisbane. I have identical configurations setup at all my other POPs yet
in Brisbane just not having any such luck. We already have a cross-connect
with them there with active VXCs but I'm working on setting up a peer with
them for transit/MegaIX over this same cross-connect. For the IX peer I can
see their MAC addresses and they can see me from a layer 2 perspective as
well. I've got the correct MAC addresses reflected in the Megaport Portal
for their ACL MAC whitelisting they do. However, I can't ping their route
servers (RS's) on the addresses they've provided.They've given me the
following addresses to allow me to use as remote peers on a specific vlan
ID they gave me over our cross-connect: 103.26.70.1, 103.26.70.2,
2001:dea:0:20::1 and 2001:dea:0:20::2. Setting up my vlan interface with
the address in the 103.26.70.0/24 space they've provided I get zero layer 3
Rx traffic from them and they have zero layer 3 rx traffic from me.
ICMP/ping attempts (they confirmed their RS's will respond to ICMP) from my
equipment whilst specifying the source address as the IP they wanted me to
use in 103.26.70.0/24 and egress interface on the VLAN has no such luck,
can't exactly run a traceroute on this either.

What's weird though, is from LLDP and running packet captures I can
actually see  2001:dea:0:20::1, but not the other IPv6 address (
2001:dea:0:20::2) or any of the IPv4 addresses. I've bounced my interfaces,
rebooted my equipment, thrown the VLAN in an SVI of it's own and reflected
the SVI MAC in the Megaport portal ACL MAC whitelist. Point is, I don't
know what on earth is going on.

I've reached out to Megaport support through the portal however, I'm going
around in circles with them. They take days to respond sometimes, ask me
questions I've already answered. They said they would lodge a ticket for
the engineering team but I've seen nothing come of it. Anyone got any ideas
or encountered something similar? Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Mitch
