Affects: Traffic DBC

We planned in a maintenance for upgrading our router Firmware for R1 in DBC(Databarn Capelle) to the latest firmware.

We apologize for the short notice and unfortunately due to the urgency we cannot change the planned date.

The traffic will be rerouted through R2 of DBC(Databarn Capelle), if you have redundant BGP sessions/links, only one session will go down and the traffic will go through your other session/link.
For those who do not have redundant connection through this router, may experience an outage up to 1 hour.

UPDATE 2018-03-21 7:32: While we started the reload, we have noticed that the redundancy did not work as intended causing a complete outage on DBC. We are currently restoring the traffic and inspecting why the fail over did not function correctly.

UPDATE 2018-03-21 7:57: We have inspected the issue and resolved it, as well we have tested the fail-over and the fail-over working now as intended.
We will continue on with the firmware upgrade.

UPDATE 2018-03-21 9:20: The firmware upgrade is completed and we have no longer experienced any issues with the fail-over.
