milki: no pics of new datacenter
!
up_the_irons: I dropped the ball there
BryceBot: That's what she said!!
up_the_irons: lol
I have 1 shitty pic on Flickr
well, it's an OK pic
mnathani: if you are a Cisco person, private VLAN has a different meaning than the one intended by the article
up_the_irons: interesting
we simply mean the VLAN of the account
mercutio: if you are a cisco person then eveything is named differently
so you're used to it :)
mnathani: for those that dont know, it this trickery where you put a bunch of devices in say a shared /24, but they act like separate vlans as they cant communicate with each other directly
up_the_irons: oh wow
is that a new thing?
mnathani: been there for a while
up_the_irons: sounds kinda shady, but also useful
mnathani: not supported on legacy hardware
like the catalyst 3750 and 3560 support it
up_the_irons: yeah
does it help keep down broadcasts?
(like on a "regular" VLAN)
mnathani: useful for things like IPv4 depletion / space conservation and placing multiple tenants on the same switch
it does
up_the_irons: that's cool
mnathani: you would put the gateway on a promiscuous port, which can talk to all the others
up_the_irons: so if a device has only 1 NIC, then it would have to also be on that promisc port?
thereby kinda defeating the purpose...
mnathani: everyone automatically can talk to the promiscous port
just not to each other
up_the_irons: ah ok
mnathani: they have to be able to talk to their default gateway which would be on that port
up_the_irons: yeah so it would be like the port on the switch
mnathani: right
not sure how it would work with multiple VPS in a host, and tagged / trunk ports
up_the_irons: does each vlan get a bonafide 802.1q vlan tag?
mnathani: I think so

up_the_irons: thanks for that, i'm gonna give it a read
JC_Denton: we use private vlans and protected-ports at LAN parties
it's worthwhile
sjackso: ... the part of me that was in high school a couple of decades ago thinks it's awesome to see JC Denton on IRC talking about LAN parties. :-)
(such a great game that was)

JC_Denton: yeah
i loved the story
loved the protagonist
hated what Invisible War did to him
sjackso: I manged to avoid the sequel, so I live in a happy world where nothing dumb happened to JC
up_the_irons: wait... what game are we talking abou
about
sjackso: up_the_irons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex
BryceBot: Deus Ex :: Deus Ex is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing video game—combining first-person shooter, stealth and role-playing elements—developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive in 2000.

mnathani: why is : ASN 19996: CoreSite-Any2Easy (Route Server) << listed twice on https://arpnetworks.com/peering
meingtsla: Because it's that special :O
Hm, wonder if it has to do with there being two route servers on Any2 LA
mercutio: there are two route servers
although it lists about route servers up the top too
