Head Guru Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 SWITCH MAINTENANCE NOTIFICATION DOWNTIME EXPECTED WINDOW OF MAINT: 8PM EST - 1AM EST ESTIMATED DOWNTIME: 15 minutes or less per switch On Tuesday 2/27/2007 we will be performing maintenance on the following Level 3 Switches: Switch P1 Switch P2 Switch P3 Switch P4 Switch p5 We will be swapping out the above switches with new replacment switches. This is to address a known issue with current switches. Since we have scheduled the maint window, we have choosen to upgrade the switches during the swap. I will be sure to post to the forums right before I pull the first switch out. We are moving from switches that can perform ~ 60gbps to new cisco switches that can run at 96gbps! Thank you and I will do my best to make the maint window as painless as possible. Link to comment
Head Guru Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 I have started preparing to make the switches on the switches. Lots of work prior to unplugging them, I am trying to get everything in place to make the downtime very minimal. Bill Link to comment
