ibiblio services/changes announcement list

[Don Sizemore <dls AT metalab.unc.edu>]

  Hi ibiblio-announce,

  ibiblio's ISP will be performing network maintenance on July 12th, 
beginning at 00:01 EDT and ending by 03:00 EDT.  Note that the usual 
pattern of who-will-be-affected is reversed this time.  Browsers using 
Internet2 and NLR will be unable to reach us, while anyone connecting to 
our servers over our commercial Cogent connection will flip over to a 
backup link.

  The actual announcement follows:


Date of Work: 07/12/2007
Start Time: 12:01am
End Time: 03:00am

Description of work to be performed:

NCREN engineers will be performing maintenance to upgrade hardware in two 
core switches at Departure Dr. in Raleigh and on the MCNC campus.  Due to 
the nature of this maintenance, this will create an outage.  Connectivity 
to Internet2, NLR, and Cogent will be inaccessible during this time. 
Though we expect the outage to be brief, the entire maintenance window is 
reserved.



  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
