As per the notice that was sent on July 19th, 2024, we will be starting the maintenance at FL-IX / Equinix-MI1 in about 40 minutes from now. If you are a 100G member at Equinix-MI1, you will see your BGP sessions drop. We will verify that all members traffic is drained before migrating your port to the new switch.

Subject: MAINTENANCE NOTICE: Migration of 100G Members at Equinix-MI1 - Wed, July 31st, 2024 and Thu, August 1st, 2024
Greetings FL-IX members,
To accommodate the continuing growth of the exchange, earlier this year we installed two brand new Arista 7289 switches at Equinix-MI1 to replace the Arista 7504R switch that our 100G members at that site are currently connected to.
On Wednesday, July 31st, 2024 and Thursday, August 1st at 12:01am ET each morning, we will begin the migration of 100G members at that location. The migration will occur over two days and have a window of ~5 hours each morning, ending at 5:00am ET each day.
For the duration of the maintenance, we will block BGP traffic only to those members affected by the migration as described in BCP 214. Sessions will re-establish after the maintenance has concluded each day. No action is required on your part. Members whose 100G ports are connected at Equinix-MI1 (50 NE 9th St, Miami) will be moved to one of the two new switches and will experience a brief loss of link as ports are migrated.
In the event that you experience trouble after the completion of the migration, please contact the FL-IX NOC at [email protected].
Regards,
Randy Epstein
