Greeting FL-IX Members, We were able to upgrade our portal to the latest maintenance release, but due to issues with Ubuntu’s repositories being down tonight, we were unable to complete the upgrades to BIRD. All services on rs01-ipv4 and rs01-ipv6 have been restored and we are hands off again. We’re going to re-group and find another time to perform the BIRD upgrades.

Reoccurrence of malformed attribute on route servers again, this time v4, and recommendation for members running Juniper routers
by Randy Epstein 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

Hello CIX-ATL and FL-IX Members, We are experiencing the same issue as we did last night, but this time on v4. This seems to only affect members with Juniper routers, running certain versions of JunOS. It is recommended that members take a look at this document and ensure you have BGP error handling set up as per the recommendation? https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/cli-reference/to…. As our CIX-ATL members are aware, we are in the middle of portal and BIRD upgrades under an emergency maintenance window at this time. We believe this will stop BIRD from propagating this malformed attribute. We are in the middle of mitigating the current situation and will let you know when this has been resolved. Regards, Randy Epstein Executive Director Email: randy(a)communityix.org Mobile: +1 561-756-4475 Office: +1 888-925-4678 Fax: +1 561-431-0437
