While this maintenance will not require any configuration changes on your side of the tunnel, we do expect that you will want to test your tunnel to NWRDC after the migration is complete. Please have someone on your support staff be prepared to test access to mainframe and/or FACTS resources. While this is not required it is highly recommended. Please also have someone available with administrative access to your side of the tunnel who can clear stale IPSEC SAs if need be. Again, not required but recommended. The Network Team will be available by phone and email to assist with any issues after the migration is complete. If you prefer to choose a date prior to December 12, 2020 to move your tunnel, our staff is available to assist. Please email nwr-networks@nwrdc.fsu.edu with any questions or concerns about this maintenance plan. Questions?We are here to help.
