I’m sure you are aware of some network problems occurring during the past 24 hours. Our core-switch which has been in duty for more than 3 years now suddenly crashed. This system has been in production with 0 downtime and an uptime of one year.

We attempted troubleshooting the problem and pinpointing the exact defect on the system. During that time we offloaded 60% of our network directly to our 2nd router. This is why during the last 18 hours only 40% of our network was affected. Today we were able to find out the problem with the switch and it’s the gigabit uplink module.

A new gigabit uplink module been purchased and should be arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday. During that time we currently created a new network path so all the users on the Cisco core-switch would be back online.

There will be a short downtime on Tuesday or Wednesday of no more than 15 minutes we’ll update you when we have more information.

I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and hope you understand.
