4th October Outage
The upgrade to the North Wales circuit appeared to have completed correctly however further investigation revealed that the two core Cisco switches in Manchester had blocked the connections for North Wales post upgrade.
Switch reboots failed to resolve the issue resulting in us having to transport two new switches to Manchester.
As yet we've not had time to pick over the bones of the issue. The Ethernet circuit upgrade should not have caused any issues but the timing of the two events would suggest that they are related.
We'll be meeting with the Fibre providers in a few hours to see if they can shed any light on the event from their side of things.
