Emergency Router Maintenance

November 23, 2008 – 6:15 pm by jared

One of the interface cards in a customer-serving router in Santa Rosa has suffered a software glitch this afternoon. We will be performing invasive maintenance on the affected card tonight at midnight. All T1 customers served by this card will be down for 5-10 minutes during this maintenance. There is a chance that the card maintenance will require the entire router to be rebooted. If this occurs, all T1 and wireless customers served by this router will be offline for 5-10 minutes.

Update: The router linecard maintenance has been completed without issue. The affected card is now functioning properly, and there was no need to reboot the entire router.

  2. FYI, it looks like this might be why my fusion broadband is offline right now in Santa Rosa?

    Luckily my neighbor has a normal sonic.net open wifi (I’m guessing normal dsl is okay) so I’ll survive the downtime.

  3. Nick: The router that underwent maintenance tonight only serves T1 and some wireless customers, not any of our Fusion customers. At this hour, I’d suggest that you try rebooting your ADSL2+ modem and see if that gets you back online. If not, please contact our support group at 707-547-3400 in the morning.
