Participant Impact and Requirements: The following impacts are expected to participant connectivity during this planned outage:

IPWAN Participants - No impact is expected

Lan-2-Lan VPN Participants (IPSEC) - Up to 4 hour outage for participants who have established their VPN connection/s via the AEMO NSW datacenter termination point (202.44.78.10 for Policy Based VPN's or 202.44.78.12 for Route Based VPN) only - All L2L connections should be established to both QLD / NSW.

Note: Participants are encouraged to ensure their VPN connections are already established or are configured (as per AEMO best practice) to automatically failover to the alternate AEMO QLD datacenter termination point (202.44.76.10 or 202.44.76.12) prior to this scheduled outage.  *** Failure to do so will impact connectivity to Marketnet Services ***.

B2B VPN - No impact is expected. 

SSL VPN Participants: None expected as DNS entry will be updated to remove NSW IP. 

GASHUB: A brief interuption of up to 60 seconds while services are failover from NSW to QLD Datacenter. 

Other Impacts will have been communicated in advance.
