Each firmware upgrade will take no longer than 10 seconds, however a reload of each LNS is required. They will be done 1 at a time and will result in a PPP drop for each DSL circuit. This should automatically re-establish within 60 seconds.

Our network monitoring has alerted us to CPU errors being generated on lns01.dsl.structuredcommunications.co.uk

We have raised a ticket with our hardware vendor for them to investigate and advise. The device remains in operation and routing data as expected, however it should be classed as “at rick” during this time due to the possibility of an unexpected failure.

Other LNSs within the pool are unaffected. Should the above LNS fail then circuits will automatically re-terminate on another device.

UPDATE01 – 11:30
Our hardware vendor has reviewed the logs we have provided and concluded the device could be suffering from a physical hardware issue. We are looking at options on replacing this device.

UPDATE02 – 11:52
While options are being reviewed to replace this device, we have taken the decision to remove it from the active termination pool. This means it will not accept any new PPP connection attemps, however will continue to service existing established ones.

UPDATE03 – 13:05
Replacement hardware has been agreed by the vendor. We will advise of a maintenance window in due course.

UPDATE04 -23/11/2016
The LNS was replaced without issue and is now back in service.

We have been advised by one of our wholesale providers that they will be replacing hardware within there core network tonight that will physically disconnect one of our host-link cables we use to terminate DSL traffic with BT. To avoid any unnecessary PPP resets to DSL sessions we will be manually re-routing traffic via alternative paths before the work starts. No outages or session drops are expected, however DSL services should be classed as “at risk” until these works are fully completed.

UPDATE01 – 09:00

This work was completed as expected and we have restored traffic over this hostlink.
