Maintenance Notice: Emergency Switch OS Upgrades - Thursday, September 17th, 2026 @ 1am EDT
by Randy Epstein 10 Sep '26

10 Sep '26

Greetings FL-IX Members, On Thursday, September 17th, 2026 at 1am EDT, FL-IX will be performing OS upgrades on all switches due to numerous security advisories released today by our switch vendor. We will also take this time to switch to Multi-Agent Model on those switches still operating in Ridb Model, which will allow us to complete our transition to EVPN. If you are multihomed within a data center to FL-IX, we will upgrade one switch at a time to try to minimize disruption. Prior to reloading each switch, we will block BGP traffic as described in BCP 214. Sessions will re-establish after the affected switch returns. No action is required on your part. The maintenance period will be from 1am EDT - 4am EDT. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our NOC at noc(a)communityix.org. Regards, Randy Epstein Executive Director Email: randy(a)communityix.org Mobile: +1 561-756-4475 Office: +1 888-925-4678 Did you know?
