[Transparency Report #007][OPERATIONS] Full Environment Rebuild Scheduled WIP
What are Transparency Reports?
As a community‑operated and governed virtual internet exchange, FurrIX maintains
a commitment to open and honest communication with its members. From time to
time, operational work may occur that affects the exchange or its supporting infrastructure.
When this happens, the FurrIX operations team publishes a transparency report to
ensure all members remain informed. As a hobbyist‑rooted vIX, we aim to keep
communication clear, accessible and practical to the best of our ability.
What is happening?
The FurrIX vIX is currently going through its rebuild of our exchange and it is taking a little
longer than we expected. Due to a miscommunication, reinstalling the physical server’s OS
took a bit of time.
What has been reworked so far:
- Phy One: The ProxMox host has been rebuilt
- Core Router: We condensed our IPv6 edge and core router into one VM
- Nardoragon Router: Our services router is back online with new config
- Catos vIX Access Router: Has been pulled from backup and reconfigured
- NS1/Games-3P: These member facing services are back online
- Web Server: Our websites are back online
Parts of the exchange still being worked on:
- Mail-NG: the mail server has to be brought back online
- Ikus vIX Access Router: Secondary member facing router still being reconfig’d
- NMS: We currently have no monitoring, needs to be reconfigured
Are exchange operations affected?
Yes — temporarily.
During the rebuild window, routing and service availability will be null as systems are rebuilt
and renumbered. Once the work is complete, normal operations will resume with improved
stability, ease of expansion, better rooted upkeep and clarity.
