Network Administrators,

                        ======================================
                           ESN NETWORK MAINTENANCE NOTIFICATION
                        ======================================

            PLANNED CHANGE DATE/TIME WINDOW:  TUESDAY MARCH 2, 2010
            8:00pm - 8:30pm Mountain Time

            ANTICIPATED IMPACT ON USER COMMUNITY:  DFC  5 MINUTE OUTAGE

              DENVER FEDERAL CENTER   ( 5 MINUTE OUTAGE FOR ALL SERVICES)
            Internet, Intranet, DMZs,

            DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE:

            The Department of Interior -  Enterprise Services Network -
            Network Operation Center will be upgrading the Junos code on
            the USGS Denver Juniper M10i from 9.3-to-9.6R3. The router will
            take about 5-minutes to reload the new image, and services
            in/out of the Denver Federal Center will be disrupted for the
            USGS during this time. All sites that use Denver for Internet
            access will fail-over to their back-up Internet gateway.
                  .
            RATIONALE FOR CHANGE:
            The upgrade will correct a security vulnerability with NTP and
            will also correct a bug in the route forwarding table that has
            caused several problems with network management.
