Scheduled for Jan 28, 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
Scheduled
IAA Engineers will be upgrading the firmware of the switching hardware across VIC-IX to resolve software bugs.

Start: 29/Jan/2025 00:00 (AEDT)
End: 29/Jan/2025 03:00 (AEDT)
Window: 3 hours
Expected downtime: ~10 minutes per service port
Impacted facilities: NEXTDC M1, Equinix ME1, Vocus VDC-MEL03

Members with service ports connected at the facilities listed above should expect their port to go down during this window for around 10 minutes, affecting all services associated with the port: Peering, VLL, Extended Reach Peering.

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.

If you are unsure where your port is located, please login to https://portal.internet.asn.au to confirm if your port is within these facilities.

We will ensure at least one (1) route server is up at ALL times during the window. Please verify you are peering with both route servers to avoid multiple impacts:

RS1 - 218.100.78.1/24 & 2001:7fa:11:1:0:1db6:0::1/64
RS2 - 218.100.78.254/24 & 2001:7fa:11:1:0:1db6:0::2/64

The work is expected to take about 1 hour. However, 3 hours has been booked in the unlikely event of an emergency.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this notice, please contact us on 1300 793 320 or noc@ix.asn.au.
