NZIX engineers will be conducting maintenance on CHC-IX which includes migrating to new hardware to support 100G member connectivity as well as moving to EVPN VXLAN.
Due to the nature of the maintenance, CHC-IX will be offline during the window.
Expected Downtime: Up to 1-hour
Member ports at each site will be drained of peering traffic using BCP214-compliant filters, migrated to the new hardware 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 3 hour window has been set.
If you have any queries regarding this notice, please contact noc@ix.nz or +64 9888 9221.
