We will be performing planned maintenance on the network connectivity of the dedicated server rack(s) mentioned below at firstcolo FRA4.
What we are doing We will update the software of the top-of-rack switches to resolve known bugs and ensure stable operation of the service. After the update, a reboot is required.
Expected impact During the maintenance window, there will be a network interruption during each switch reboot. The reboot is expected to take up to 20 minutes per switch.
- Servers with only one uplink will lose network connectivity during that reboot. Connectivity should recover automatically once the switch is back online. - Servers with two uplinks are designed to remain reachable during this maintenance, as one physical uplink will remain available while the other switch is rebooting. - For servers with two uplinks, correct LACP configuration on the customer side is always required. Two physical uplinks only provide redundancy if they are configured as one LACP channel. If LACP is missing or incorrectly configured on the customer side, the server will become unreachable during the maintenance, even though redundant uplinks are physically available.
dataforest does not verify customer-side LACP configuration for unmanaged dedicated servers. Customers are responsible for ensuring that both provided uplinks are correctly configured and operational.
Affected rack(s) X12
How to check if you are affected In our control panel at https://dedicated.dataforest.cloud, open the server and check "Statistics". If one of your ports shows a description containing one of the rack identifiers listed above, your server is part of the maintenance scope.
You can see whether your server has one or two uplinks in your contract or product details. If two uplinks are included, LACP must be configured and actively used on your side.
Additionally affected managed dedicated servers (without access to the control panel): root077
We will complete the work as quickly as possible and aim to keep the interruption to the minimum stated above. Thank you for your understanding.
