Affects: Traffic DBC

Monday 9th October we will be doing an urgent replacement of the VPLS switches located in DBC as a first planned maintenance.

This was already planned to be done in the near future to make room for expansion but has been moved to the top of the list.

This should not result in any outages other then a few lost packets when the darkfibers are migrated over.


Update 17.50:
The replacement VPLS switches are placed and 100 Gbps interconnects are setup and ready for migration. We are hereby expanding the maintenance window till 2017-10-10 22.00 CEST. We will migrate the BNR DF DWDM to the new setup in the next hour.

Tomorrow our vendor will come in and bring additional equipment which we require to properly migrate further. We will then proceed accordingly.


Update 2017-10-10 23.45:
We have completed migrating the physical connections for Equinix AM7 DF DWDM to the new VPLS setup. We are tuning and preparing the next migration (GSA DF DWDM), this to minimize the impact. Hereby we are expanding the maintenance till 2017-10-11 22.00 CEST.


Update 2017-10-11 18.35:
We have completed migrating the physical connections for GSA DF DWDM to the new VPLS setup. hereby the maintenance is completed.
