Prove v3 not connecting after powercyle
by Jeroen Bogers 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Hi all, Two days ago I had to powercycle some of my network equipment, including my Atlas V3 probe. After the powercycle, the probe did not come back online. After booting, the first and second light (power and the one next to it) remain lit (not blinking). This is not a state that is listed in the FAQ: https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/#what-do-the-lights-on-the-side-of-the-pro… The only status that comes close is the 'Running from built-in flash' state, but led 2 should be blinking then? Does someone here have an idea what is wrong with my probe (and how to fix it)? I already tried connecting it to a different network port and power source, but this did not make any difference. The switch port the probe is connected to does light up, so the Ethernet port seems to be functioning. With kind regards, Jeroen Bogers

[Feature Request] Show probe address on failure notifications
by Brian Rak 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

I recently received one an email indicating one of my probes is offline: This is the second reminder that your probe (#20689 ) is not connected to our infrastructure and has been disconnected since 2015-09-14 09:37 UTC. Could you please check whether everything is set up correctly on your side? If it is, and your probe is still reported as disconnected when you log in at https://atlas.ripe.net, please reply to this email so that we can follow up. Is there any way these can be modified to include further information (like the probe's address, or basically anything about it)? Probe 20689 means nothing to me, so I have to log in to take a look at exactly what it is, and where I need to go to fix it.

New on RIPE Labs: Researching F-root Anycast Placement Using RIPE Atlas
by Michela Galante 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Dear colleagues, Please find a new article on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ray_bellis/researching-f-root-anycast-placeme… In order to expand the reach of F-root, Ray Bellis looked at where queries to F-root are coming from and where it would make most sense to place new nodes. As a first step, Ray looked at the existing nodes to see how they behave and if there is anything that can be improved. He used RIPE Atlas to do this. Kind regards, Michela Galante RIPE NCC

More built in IPv6 tests

Would it be possible to include some new built in measurements for the following: * IPv6 only capable * IPv6 preferred (and perhaps IPv6 capable, this is different than IPv6 only capable above) * Compare IPv4 and IPv6 performance over HTTP John +1-484-962-0060 -----Original Message----- From: ripe-atlas <ripe-atlas-bounces(a)ripe.net> on behalf of Robert Kisteleki <robert(a)ripe.net> Organization: RIPE NCC Date: Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 05:04 To: Alarig Le Lay <alarig(a)grifon.fr>, "ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net" <ripe-atlas(a)ripe.net> Subject: Re: [atlas] IPv6 only >On 2015-10-10 20:15, Alarig Le Lay wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Are the probes able to run on an IPv6 only network?

IPv6 only
by Alarig Le Lay 11 Oct '15

Hi, Are the probes able to run on an IPv6 only network? I’ve configured one and left the default IPv4 configuration (i.e. DHCP) but the probe is not marked as running in the web interface. Regards, -- Alarig Le Lay

3rd generation probe doesn't appear as online
by Thiago Ayub 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi, I receive a week ago our first probe but I'm unable to make it appear as online at the website. I can see it requests DHCP, it gets an IP address (NATed), it does some measurements (like HTTP and NTP) successufly but at atlas.ripe.net it is listed as 'Never online'. It rebooted around 3 times in the last week and each time was kept as least 24h in a row with no power down or cable disconnect. The MAC ADDRESS at the website matches with the MAC ADDRESS labeled in the probe. How should I proceed to get this fixed? Best regards, Thiago Ayub

Permanent private measurement
by Lorenzo Colitti 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi Atlas folks, I'd like to use my probe to monitor the status of my home Internet connection by continuously pinging my ISP's network (which is not the first or second hop in traceroute, but something like the sixth) and perhaps www.google.com. Is there a way to do this easily using the existing UI and tools? I couldn't find any existing measurements for this. I can look at the built-in v4 and v6 measurements for K-root, which is normally very close to me, but that's not 100% representative of the status of my Internet connection because it also measures the peering exchange link between my ISP and K-root. Cheers, Lorenzo

probe probed
by Gary Gapinski 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Saw my first IPv6 port scan recently, targeting my domestic Atlas probe. Originated from Shodan, first seen 2015-09-30T2017Z, and again ~24 hours later. At the moment, the probe is behind a stateful firewall (which dropped the traffic). Does it make any difference if it were moved to be completely exposed? (I've often wondered whether this should be the case to ensure proper function.) It is behind (filtered) NAT on the IPv4 side. Regards, Gary

RIPE Atlas probe archive not currently working
by Chris Amin 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Dear RIPE Atlas users, We are aware that the archive of RIPE Atlas probe metadata has not been available since code changes on Wednesday afternoon. This affects both the archive API at /api/v1/probe-archive/ and recent days in the FTP archive at http://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/probes/. If you only require old archives (Tuesday 29th September and older), you can fetch them from the FTP site as usual. We are working on restoring this functionality as quickly as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Kind regards, Chris Amin RIPE NCC
