Port Network Expansion 1

[telcomwork]

I ccurently have an S8710 running 1 PN with 4 cabinets. We are experiancing issues with blockage and I would like to add a gateway and split the current PN from 4 to 3 cabinets and create a new PN with 2 cabinets.

How much down time I'm I looking at?

You must try to plan in advance the design to minimize your downtime. Have a checklist and upgrade procedure. Try this.

1) IP assignment for IPSI's
2) Card assignment from 1C to 2A and 1D to 2B
3) IPSI cable layout to control network switch
4) Upgrade of firmware for IPSI


Items 1,2 and 3 could be done prior to activity.
This could be done in 2 hours maximum

Thank you. I have a vendor involved as well so it will be a joint effort so hopefully we'll be ok. Was trying to gauge a timeline from a couple people that have gone through this exercise rather than just the vendor involved.

Thanks again!
