Interesting that GS-1 isn't on the "main DC plant"... I thought this GS was an important one, considering all the OC-3's go to it :-) -Taner -- D.

If you're still seeing problems, please contact our NOC and let them know! Here's what happened, as near as I can make out: Sometime during the night there was a power failure affecting at least the part of the building where the MAE is located. This went undetected long enough for the UPS powering one of the Gigaswitches to drain, so the Gigaswitch lost power. When power was restored, the Gigaswitch refused to come back up, claiming that it's management memory was corrupted. We were finally able to clear the management memory and rebuild the Gigaswitch configuration from scratch, and it finally came back to life. For the short term, we're going to put that switch on the main DC power plant (as all the others are) which has a much longer lifetime and is watched better. We'll also try to find out what happened with the Gigaswitch management memory. Steve
