Two MX250s, No Downtime

We swapped two Meraki MX250 security appliances in this rack. The network was designed so we could complete the replacement without taking the site offline, and the job finished with zero downtime.

Most of the work was the unremarkable stuff that makes a cutover go well: checking the existing paths, moving one piece at a time, and confirming traffic before moving on. Nothing flashy. Just a design doing what it was supposed to do.
