Switch maintenance on 2012-08-24 – cancelled

The maintenance has been canceled due to organizational reasons. A new date will be announced separately.

On Friday, 2012-08-24 between 22:00 and 24:00 CEST we will replace a switch which has accumulated defect ports in the last months. We do not expect any services to have any visible interruption due to the change.

The exchange will be performed by adding the new switch and slowly migrating all connections from the old switch to the new one causing only small, intermittent interruptions (time needed to move the cable plus a few seconds for RSTP to enable the port).

Individual affected services should show a temporary increase in response times but no actual failures.
