We have scheduled a hardware replacement in one of our core routers in Chicago, IL to address a known issue. Date: Sunday, February 8th, 2015 We expect the customer impact of this maintenance to be minimal, though some brief periods of localized inaccessibility and sub-optimal routing may occur. If you are a BGP customer, please verify that you have dual sessions established to avoid an extended interruption in service during the work. During the maintenance, we will replace a line card in one of our core routers due to recommendations from our hardware vendor. This router will be removed from production gracefully, have its hardware replaced, then be brought back into production. While the work itself is expected to be completed quickly, we are reserving extra time to allow for extensive testing. This will give us the ability to ensure that all carriers are back online and traffic is flowing as expected within the maintenance window. If you need assistance during the maintenance, or if you have any questions about this planned work, please contact us via our helpdesk or by calling (312) 602-2689 or (888) 281-9449. | |
