Hi,

Hi, we have a 100G Wedge running RARE hosting your 100G test facility in 
London, which is now being managed by our NOC, and they have a couple of 
queries.  Answers here or pointers to existing documentation would be welcome.

a) SNMP access. We’d like to have regular SNMP monitoring of the upstream and 
possibly other 100G interfaces on the device, as we do for our (largely) 
Juniper estate. (And in the future we’re also interested in streaming 
telemetry, which we have on Juniper.)

b) RARE/FreeRtr upgrades. Csaba has suggested we should update to a more 
recent version of the software. What’s now the recommended process to do 
this, and for version controlling the installation to for example roll back 
if necessary?

c) We also have increasing use of automation for our router estate, e.g. 
Ansible for our Juniper SRX CPE devices; what’s the philosophy and approach 
for automation of RARE installations?

Thanks,
Tim
