Probe and firewall settings?
by Tim Chown 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, At https://atlas.ripe.net/about/faq/#so-which-services-do-i-need-for-my-probe-… it says "The absolute minimum set is DHCP, DNS and outgoing TCP port 443 (HTTPS) in order to allow the probe to connect to the network. However, this in itself is not enough to do measurements, which is the entire focus of RIPE Atlas, so you should also allow ICMP, UDP (DNS + traceroute), TCP for traceroute and HTTP(S)." What specific ports and protocols are required for routine operation and for inbound or outbound measurements to be configured? I think the above info could be a little more detailed (having had questions asked of me). Many thanks, Tim

beta status page vs. ipv6 only network
by Bjoern Buerger 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi, One of our probes has a warning "IPv4 Doesn't Work Properly" on the beta Status Page, along with a "IPv4 doesn't work" Tag on the main page. While this is technically correct, the cause is simple and nothing is broken. We just removed IPv4 from that specific network segment (because it's not needed anymore). Is it possible to somehow tag the probe as "single stack on purpose" in the configuration page? Thanks in advance, Bjørn

#6262 Disconnectted
by Stanish Stanishev 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hello, Yesterday i got a notification that one of the our Anchors - #6262 has disconnected from Atlas. According to its Current Status info - DNS Problem Suspected. I see the anchor is configured to use the following DNS Resolvers - 8.8.8.8 and 2620:74:1b::1:1. The anchor responds to pings and is reachable from the world. Also the resolvers 8.8.8.8 are 2620:74:1b::1:1 reachable from the anchor's uplink router. So apart from checking the anchor's connectivity and DNS resolvers I don't have much left to do in order to get the anchor connected again. Has anyone faced this situation before ? Thanks Stanish Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

Minor changes in the probe archive API
by Viktor Naumov 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, We made some changes to the probe archives API. The changes relate to the use of another storage back-end. In addition to the "date" URL argument, which returns the all probes dump for the given date, the new version enables ranges of dates to be specified for all or selected probes. The example below will return dumps for probes 1, 5, 81, 82, 83 for dates in the range [2018-01-03, 2018-01-06): https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/probes/archive?/api/v2/probes/archive?date__g… Best regards RIPE Atlas Team

Probe didn't get static IP address
by Walid Ben Ali 29 Dec '17

29 Dec '17

Dear ripe Atlas support, My probe ID 26099<https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/26099/> didn't reconize the static IP adress. Knowing that it worked for days. Today I just tried to know if it is a network problem or a probe issu, I just conenct it into DHCP and the probe works., I also pluged my Laptop to the netwok with the static IP address (in order to know if it is a network issu) and also the network ork perfectly, I even surfed on the RIPE NCC web site without any pb. So please RIPE Atlas support, could you bring me some help? I returned back the probe to the nework, the static specified IP is kept, (with the DNS and submask and so on), but the probe didn't work. Looking for your support Many thanks

Probe disconnects every 2 hours
by Daniel AJ Sokolov 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

Hello, the logs for my probe (version 1) show that is has been disconnecting very regularly every 2 hours. The uptimes are always +/- 1 hour 50 minutes, followed by a disconnect period of 5, 8, or 11 minutes. Out of my last 25 connects, 20 are like that. 3 have double the uptime (about 3 hours and 50 minutes), only one has almost 24 hours, and the current one is 6 hours and counting. The disconnects there were, again, 5, 8, or 11 minutes. However, I to not notice similar disconnects as a user of the same network. I sometimes listen to online streams for more then 2 hours without interruption. I work on my computer for more than 2 hours and don't notice these interruptions of my internet access. It's all IPv4; no IPv6 here. The controller is ctr-fnc01. What could be the cause of these log entries? BR Daniel AJ

Any recommendations on how I can get ATLAS admins to reset my two-step verification?
by Jan Galkowski 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi I have an ATLAS probe, long connected with a lot of credits. I have a RIPE NCC account, where the email and passcode are both recognized. Unfortunately, I apparently also have two-step verification set up. I don't recall doing that, but, then, it's probably my memory is at fault. And I do not know where, if anywhere, I put the notes for the 32 bit "emergency" code. The guidance at the site is to reach out to the ATLAS administrations in this situation for, I presume a reset. I have looked for additional information, and opened tickets. Unfortunately, the link to the FAQ describing this security facility is "404", and the tickets have gone acknowledged by the ticketing system, but not responded to. My interest is keen, because I was hoping to get some measurements research done by the start of the New Year. Alas. I have things I can do towards this, but has anyone else been in a similar situation? Advice? Thanks very much, Merry Newtonmas, and best wishes for the New Year. - Jan Galkowski, Westwood, MA.
