13-Apr-2014 - 12:01am - 5:00am Dist01.tor1 Maintenance

Post by porcupine »

Hi Guys,

Please be advised of the following maintenance window:

Maintenance Window: Sunday April 13th, 12:01am - 5:00am Eastern Time
Facility: Tor1 - 151 Front Street West
Affected Device: Dist01.tor1 Distribution switch/router
Affected Customers: Physically connected customers
Service Impacting: Yes - Physically connected customers only, All other customers - precautionary notice only.

Details: We will be upgrading several of the Gigabit Ethernet linecards in the dist01.tor1 distribution router to newer model Gigabit Ethernet cards as part of our planned maintenance. In addition to this, we will be upgrading dist01.tor1's operating system (IOS) in the same maintenance window, requiring the chassis to be rebooted.

Physically connected customers can expect to see 2-3 short outages, lasting from 5 to 15 minutes each during this operation while the chassis is rebooted, cards are re-seated, and cables are temporarily relocated to accommodate the new linecards, etc. The actual port numbers that customers are connected to, along with their respective MRTG graphs will not change, and customers will not have to update their records in any manner as a result.

Will you be impacted?: Customers can determine if they are directly connected to the dist01.tor1 distribution router by inspecting the URL for their existing MRTG graphs (which all customers should have retained in their respective records). If your MRTG URL contains the word “dist01.tor1”, you are on the dist01.tor1 distribution router, and you will definitely be directly impacted by this maintenance. If your URL does not contain the word "dist01.tor1", this maintenance should be considered precautionary in nature.
