Starting at 11:30PM on Saturday, June 25th, 2005, I rebooted many of
our routers.
Most everything went clean and without hiccup or problem.
Items that did not go clean:
A typo I had in the start up config caused our dialup modem
routers to not come online right away, instead of an
interruption of 7-8 minutes, it was closer to 25 minutes while
the configurations were updated and the units rebooted 2 more
times.
A change to the dialup modem firmware was required with the
new code update, this took about 1 minute to complete and the
new modem code is loaded onto the modems. We are looking
forward to the results of these upgrades.
Code changes for the 6400 router, where DSL is terminated, did
*not* go smoothly and the configuration and code were returned
to their previous revisions. Moving customers from one router
blade (old code) to another router blade (new code) did not
work. We will need to do more testing as to why this did not
work as expected. As of right now, the DSL service is still
running on the original code base from before this weekend.
Our monitoring system started paging us because some of the
SNMP object identifiers (OID) had changed during the code
update and resulting reboot sequence. The OIDs were updated
in the monitoring system and everything has been verified as
up and operational.
