[M5Hosting] Urgent "Failover" to redundant core switch @ 2am

[Michael J McCafferty]

Dear M5Hosting Customer,

    A probable bug in the Cisco IOS running on the current active  
layer 3 core switch is preventing us from remotely managing the  
device. We have exhausted the options for restoring the functionality  
without interrupting the traffic flow through it.
    Tonight, after 02:00 PDT we will force the redundant layer 3 core  
switch to take over while we address the issue with the current  
primary switch. The cut-over to the redundant switch should only take  
a few seconds. If we fail-back to the current primary within a short  
time, it too should only take a few seconds.

Date/Time: Thursday 8/21/08 @ 02:00 US/Pacific (GMT -7)
Duration: 5 to 30 seconds (1 minute "worst case")

     As always, I invite your comments on this message, or the events  
it describes. Your feedback helps us delivery better services to you.


Thank you,
Mike
