IAA Engineers will be upgrading the firmware of the switching hardware across NSW-IX to resolve several software bugs and continue flattening the OSPF domain.
Window: 4 hours Expected Downtime: ~15 minutes per site
* Members with service ports across NSW-IX should expect their port to go offline for up to ~10 minutes whilst each switch is being upgraded. Please note a few legacy devices will not experience any outage (NextDC S1 - pe1.syd4, Equinix SY3 - pe1.syd3, Equinix SY1 - pe4.syd1).
Service ports will be drained of peering traffic roughly 5 minutes before their respective upgrades using BCP214 compliant filters. Filters will be removed once the devices are back online and stable.
* We will ensure at least one (1) route server is up at ALL times during the window however downtime is not expected due to their active/standby uplink fail over. With that said please verify you are peering with both route servers to minimise any potential impact:
