Scheduled

NZIX engineers will be conducting maintenance on WLG-IX which includes firmware upgrades and migrating the Ethernet fabric from VPLS to EVPN VXLAN.

Due to the nature of the maintenance, WLG-IX will be offline during the window.

Expected Downtime: ~30minutes

Member ports at each site will be drained of peering traffic using BCP214-compliant filters and restored once the exchange is back online and verified healthy.

NZIX has spare hardware on standby in the unlikely event a device requires replacing, and rollback procedures are in place for any unexpected behaviour, thus a 4 hour window has been set.
