All right, we are ready to swing it back to 40G and finish the upgrade.

Due to a significant surge in traffic from new customers, we will be upgrading our cross-connect to CosmicGuard with 40G port links.

I have instructed the team to switch back the fiber until CosmicGuard debugs this.

After the switch, we are not getting any light from CosmicGuard, they are now looking into it.

From the shipment we order, we actually found one that worked even thought they're all the same seems like they might different encoding.

We're going to now proceed with the upgrade.

We are going to be postponing this upgrade and overnighting a new set of optics.

We are having a compatibility issue with our optic, we do not want to plug in the new cross connect or it'll cause an outage we cannot recover from until we switch back. Stand by while we look for a replacement, the disconnect has not occurred yet.

Tech is on site and will begin the switch shortly. The actual outage will just be a few seconds.
