Introduction

After installed Centos 6.7 for CISCO WAE, I found python version is 2.6 that is much older, and I need ansible1.9, but Centos default upgrade to ansible2.2… in order to easy management ansible1.9 that is python package, I plan to install PIP. From official website, suggest not use 2.6 under pip, so I need to upgrade python to 2.7 too.

But I found WAE use 2.6 after I succeed upgrade python to 2.7…Summarized the totally steps that will help me review in future.

Upgrade Python

After checked from follow link, python 2.7.9 integrate pip, so install this version 🙂
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing/

1. Install some package that require by python

python have multi dependencie

[root@wae ~]# yum install gcc
[root@wae ~]# yum install openssl-devel

2. Install python 2.7.9

[root@wae ~]# wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.9/Python-2.7.9.tgz
[root@wae ~]# mv Python-2.7.9.tgz /opt/
[root@wae ~]# cd /opt/
[root@wae opt]# tar -xvf Python-2.7.9.tgz 
[root@wae opt]# cd Python-2.7.9
[root@wae Python-2.7.9]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/python2.7
[root@wae Python-2.7.9]# make
[root@wae Python-2.7.9]# make install

Introduction

Refer to some CASE, customer concern why BGP take so many memory resource, and how to optimize BGP, and why memory not release after optimize, and so on. That hard to answer, in order to get answer, we need check more information. From the article, you can simple to know how to check BGP memory, and how to analyzing the BGP memory, those informaiton will help you and customer to do special optimize.

Solution

1. Default scenario, no any BGP route

Platform: MacBook Pro
Version: 10.12.3
Cpu: Core i7 2.2
Xcode: 8.2.1

1. Based on github release, install all component by brew:

https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Building-for-macOS

2.Have alarm after cmake:

MacOS:Documents frank$ cd citra/
MacOS:citra frank$
MacOS:citra frank$
MacOS:citra frank$ export Qt5_DIR=$(brew --prefix)/opt/qt5
MacOS:citra frank$ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9
MacOS:citra frank$ mkdir build
MacOS:citra frank$ cd build
MacOS:build frank$ cmake .. -GXcode

Introduction

In TZ database, have more good documents that is troubleshooting fabric guide on ASR9k, but no analysis process that show how to troubleshooting fabric issue on real scenario/CASE. “Very lucky” ?  I matched a hot CASE that due to fabric issue cause online fail. So i summaried totally analysis process that will help CSE to narrow down similar issue.

Problem Description

• Platform: 9922 + 4 36x10G + 2 8x100G
• Version: 5.3.2 + SMU 

My customer online a new 9922 to replace old devices. After online, found their business have traffics drop. Base on online information, I found NP no more drop, and business traffics very less. (max 5g under 100g port, all bundle port when online ts)

Problem:

We can do more automated action by EEM + TCL on Cisco router, and have more trigger way for syslog pattern trigger, OID trigger, CPU Threshold trigger and so on. That will match IOS platform, no any issue. But in XR platform, each LC/RSP have separate alarm, we maybe have special requirement, e.g:

Some alarms frequency happen, I want to restart the process (base on pid) if the alarm happen 3 times in 5min on each LC, how to do that?

0/3/cpu0: alarm report "C", Pid = zzz
0/1/cpu0: alarm report "A", Pid = xxx
0/2/cpu0: alarm report "B", pid = yyy
0/3/cpu0: alarm report "C", pid = zzz
0/1/cpu0: alarm report "A", pid = xxx
0/1/cpu0: alarm report "A", pid = xxx

Solution:

We can do interactive script by TCL I/O, create a file in Harddisk/disk which has the history/count of syslog for Lcs. We can read this file using the script whenever the syslog is observed. Based on the number of syslogs the script can take the required action.

The steps will be like this, please check attachment and script flow chart for detail script, in my example, I only dump arp process for testing, please change script base on your requirement, in order to test script, you can add flag to test that, e.g “action_syslog priority info msg “a””: 完整阅读
