Expected outcome

  • 4 new routers with updated OS and routing daemon
    • Upgrading to Alpine 3.10
    • Upgrading to bird2
  • Routers with full routing table in table
    • Allowing us to traffic shape on different uplinks better
    • Also required due to the loss of the default route next week
  • A couple of short downtimes during the two days
    • When changing the active router in the data center, it might take a few seconds for fail over to be active
  • Removal of keepalived for routing
    • Switch to BGP / loopback based redundancy
