Important notes before you select your scenario (Swaps, ISP Local Loop, Change of Network Partner)
- Standard scenario: Cold swap: When the new VPN box cluster is ready, disconnect your SNL hosts from the old VPN box cluster and reconnect them to th enew cluster. There is a short downtime in this scenario
- Standard scenario: Hot swap (only for Silver or Gold): When the new VPN box cluster has been installed in parallel to the existing one, move your SNL hosts immediately over to the new cluster. No need to change your IP addressing scheme. No downtime is expected in this scenario (note that a replacement of reconfiguration of the NP router may be required).
- Standard scenario: Host-by-Host (only for Silver and Gold): When the new VPN box cluster has been installed in parallel to the existing one, move your traffic, on a host by host basis over the new cluster. This can be performed at your own pace, by modifying the new IP addressing scheme of your hosts and, or firewalls. No downtime is expected in this scenarion (note that a replacement of econfiguration of the NP router may be required).
- Non-standard scenario: If you upgrade your ISP Local Loop (ISP-LL) to Alliance Connect.
- Non-standard scenario: If you want to change your Network Partner lines.
