Gigabit Switch - Network Maintenance Period 1am-2am Eastern

[Stephen]

Hello,

We will be performing network maintenance to change the gigabit network switch.

Maintenance Start Time: July 14, 1AM EST
Maintenance End Time: July 14, 2AM EST
Maximum Expected Outage: 2 Minutes per server

This switch replacement is being done due to an issue with the switch that resulted in a brief packet loss issue (for 25 minutes) last week which we blame on a malfunction of the current switch. The new switch will ensure a repeat of that incident will not happen again

I am starting now.

Maintenance is complete, the new switch is installed, the total time from my post to this was not an outage, as I had the network back up very quickly, but spent some time getting the switch back in the rack.
