Maintenance Window One-Pager
One line per check. BEFORE on the left, AFTER on the right, paired row by row. The detail lives on the Before and After pages - this sheet is the one you print.
Printable one-pager - Letter, landscape, one sheet with BEFORE and AFTER side by side. Printing this web page will not keep the layout - download the PDF and print that (95 KB).
| Change control # | Date | Window (from - to) | Engineer | Route export method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ☐ 1 - all gateways ☐ 2 - per gateway |
| ☐ BEFORE - capture the baseline | ☐ AFTER - capture again, compare | |
|---|---|---|
| Prep | ☐ Folder made: date + change #, with before and after inside | ☐ Fabric settled - wait 5 min, 10-15 if tunnels not up |
| ☐ Critical apps listed: Voice, Video, App 1-3 | ☐ Critical users and testers told to start validating | |
| ☐ Critical hubs and 2-5 critical spokes named | ||
| ☐ Users and SME testers scheduled | ||
| Orch alarms | ☐ Alarms > Active exported → orch-alarms | ☐ Exported, compared - unexpected alarms investigated, 1-2 people clear |
| Reachability | ☐ "Not connected" noted; websockets verified; exported → reachability | ☐ Same capture, compared to before |
| NMS | ☐ Alarms + down devices captured → nms-alarms, nms-down-devices | ☐ Any down sites, down devices, new alarms? Captured, compared |
| ☐ Maintenance mode SET | ☐ Maintenance mode REMOVED | |
| Tunnels | ☐ Overlay exported → tunnels-report-overlay | ☐ Overlay exported, compared |
| ☐ Underlay exported → tunnels-report-underlay | ☐ Underlay exported, compared | |
| ☐ Passthrough exported → tunnels-report-passthrough | ☐ Passthrough exported, compared | |
| ☐ Same up / down counts? Any tunnel up before, down now? Traffic on another tunnel? | ||
| Routes | ☐ Method chosen; "All" selected, filters cleared; exported | ☐ Same method; "All" selected, filters cleared; exported |
| ☐ Compared - missing routes, new routes, count delta > 5 investigated | ||
| ☐ P/B spot-checked in the UI for critical prefixes - CSV cannot see a flip (GMS-46509) | ||
| BGP | ☐ Summary exported → bgp-summary-report | ☐ Summary exported, compared |
| ☐ Peers exported → bgp-peers-report | ☐ Peers exported, compared - every peer Established | |
| OSPF | ☐ Neighbor state exported / screenshot → ospf-report | ☐ Same capture, compared - every neighbor up |
| Flows | ☐ Each hub exported → hostname_flows.csv | ☐ Each hub exported; bad flows reviewed, reset, route verified |
| ☐ Each critical spoke exported → hostname_flows.csv | ☐ Each critical spoke exported, reviewed | |
| ☐ 0-byte flow count noted, bytes IN and OUT | ☐ 0-byte counts compared - difference expected? | |
| Backup | ☐ Backup Now - "Before outage (change #)" | ☐ Backup Now - "After outage (change #)"; config compare if anything is off |
| Voice | ☐ Rings both ways, heard both ways; flows saved; quality noted | ☐ Re-tested; compared to before - any change? |
| Video | ☐ Session connects, both parties seen; quality noted | ☐ Re-tested; compared to before - any change? |
| App 1-3 | ☐ Full transaction; Performance + General tabs saved; perf stats saved | ☐ Full transaction repeated; compared to before |
| ☐ Tester feedback documented | ☐ Tester feedback compared - sign-off |
Rule of the sheet: every ☐ on the right has a matching ☐ on the left. If the left box is empty, the right one cannot be compared - it can only be recorded.
