Service RestoredWork has been completed.
Maintenance is extending 15 minutes.

Networking will be conducting network maintenance to replace the two Cisco Catalyst 6500 service chassis used to provide the out-of-band (OOB) service to UDCC. During each chassis replacement, the connected switches will be unavailable resulting in a loss of connectivity to DRAC, LOM, and other OOB interfaces for the duration of the outage. Each chassis will be replaced one at a time.Note: Firewall services provided by the chassis will remain operational during the maintenance due to the resilient design.
