We are performing a major upgrade of the MGS cisco router at Waikato tomorrow: Thursday, 6 Aug 08:30 - 10:00 This will mean an outage on the single path to FRI, but other connectivity should only be affected by brief disruptions. Most of our leased circuit connections go through the MGS, but we have redundancy with the Frame Relay links, and the backup paths for Canterbury via the circuit to VUW and the path to Invermay through Otago. Currently the Internet gateway and the Waikato LAN are accessed via the MGS cisco, but this should failover to a backup router (a Sun), and/or the Water Quality to Mt Albert circuit. Hopefully we will complete the upgrade before 10:00 (and it will actually work), and in any case the failovers should be reasonably quick. John
