ISPnet maintenance Thu-Fri, Nov 14-15, 2013 - 7 Teleport Drive, Staten Island

[Bob Tinkelman]

Work has been completed.

The work ran a little longer than planned.

There was one unexpected event during the window when a
number of bgp sessions reset.

Full redundant service should now be restored.

Please report any problems you see outside the window.

> We have begun work on the scheduled maintenane.




> > ISPnet will be performing maintenance on some of our equipment at
> > the Telehouse data center at 7 Teleport Drive, Staten Island.

> > The planned maintenance window is from 10 PM Thursday to 2 AM
> > Friday, local time.

> > This work should affect only those ISPnet customers who have
> > equipment colocated at that site.

> > ISPnet is in the process of upgrading equipment and, during the
> > window, certain routers and switches will be moved (or their
> > functions will be moved) to new cabinets.

> > The two major items being moved are:
> > 	gw1.nycrnybb.ispnet.net
> >    and	switch1.nycrnybb.ispnet.net

> > Both boxes will be off the net for a large portion of the
> > scheduled window.

> > ISPnet operates redundant sets of equipment at this data center
> > and, to a large extent, this will make this work transparent to
> > most customers.

> > For example, the functions of the gw1 router should be handled,
> > automatically by gw2, located in a different cabinet not involved
> > in the night's work.

> > Most ISPnet customers at the site are dual-connected, with cross-
> > connects to two ISPnet switches (switch1 and switch2) located in
> > different cabinets.  Only switch1 is involved in the scheduled
> > work.

> > Dual-connected customers should see no service interruptions.
> > However, during the window, they will be operating in an
> > unprotected mode.

> > Similary there will be no visible effect for single-connected
> > customers with cross-connects to switch2.

> > Customers with a single cross-connect to switch1 will receive a
> > separate email with additional information specific to their
> > services.

> > If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
> > directly.
