[j-nsp] JUNOS and 128.0.0.0 martian (JFYI)

[Tima Maryin]

Hello!


Recently RIPE NCC started to allocate addresses from 128/8 to end users, 
example:

https://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/lookup/ripe/inetnum/128.0.0.0-128.0.7.255.html


Junos software (upto and including 11.1) blocks those address by default:

 > show route martians

inet.0:
              0.0.0.0/0 exact -- allowed
              0.0.0.0/8 orlonger -- disallowed
              127.0.0.0/8 orlonger -- disallowed
              128.0.0.0/16 orlonger -- disallowed


In fact there will be no connectivity for new addresses and Juniper 
routers all around the world unless people change de.fault behavior or 
juniper change default settings for martians

I think it's time to do, I've just open JTAC case about it.



p.s. set routing-options martians 128.0.0.0/16 orlonger allow
fixes it.
