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.
