Purpose
In order to ensure business continuity for Provisioning System, we need to
perform DR drill activity
Core Provider Routers (P) are backbone of our Infrastructure. They provide
Intra/Inter Region Core, Aggregations & IP EDGE connectivity.
Impact:
During Drill, traffic of all aggregation uplinks & RRs from ISB-IBA1-P01-N9K will be
served from ISB-IBA2-P01-N9K.
There will be no service impact if connectivity remains stable between AGGs & ISB-
IBA2-P01-N9K.
Technical Services
From AGGs, Ps & RRs, connectivity extends to ISB-IBA1-P01-N9K through IS-IS.
Services include MPLS L2/L3 VPNs, MPLS TE Tunnels, & Internet links.
IS-IS neighbors are:
Topology
ISB-IBA1-P01-N9K Redundancy Check: Stepwise Process:
1. Make sure IBA1-P router Interfaces are connected with all respective P router uplinks.
2. Shutdown link between AGGs & ISB-IBA1-P01-N9K.
3. See ISB-IBA2-P01-N9K will serve as uplink for all customers connected on AGGs.
4. Monitor the interface utilization, Routes, memory and CPU for both Routers.
5. Revert the changes and see if all customer are served as before.
6. Service Verification by POC: interface utilization, Routes, memory and CPU for both Routers.

Contingency Options
Before activity, traffic stats of customers will be monitored through graphs
& CLI.
Current good known configurations will be preserved
In case of any instability observed on the ISB-IBA2-P01-N9K downlink,
traffic will be reverted into production network immediately.
