[SAC] [Hosting] Planned Outage: Network Uplink Redundancy Setup - 0900-1000 PDT Oct 31, 2023

All,

Tomorrow we’re planning to finally change our uplink to LinkOregon to a redundant link (at least within our switching infrastructure). There will likely be a few minutes of downtime while we change the configuration over. We’re planning on making this change between 0900-1000 PDT (1600-1700 UTC) in coordination with LinkOregon.

This will allow us to provide redundancy with our uplink switches so we can do proper maintenance. In addition, this will also provide some additional bandwidth with LinkOregon.

I’ll send an email out once this change has been made and we’re in the clear.

Thanks for your support and patience!

All,

After speaking with LinkOregon, they will need some time to prep the cut over on their end. We have pushed back the actual cutover to 1pm PDT (2000 UTC). We did confirm our second link does connect properly.

Sorry for the shuffling around of this and thanks for your patience.

This maintenance has been completed and we now have redundant links to LinkOregon via a LAG port channel and 20G of capacity.

We hopefully will be looking at upgrading that to 40G at a later date with different switches.

Thanks all for your patience.
