From Change Management:
User Description: This notice is to inform you that Network Services will be putting the ASA Firewall back in place at the Internet Border. The ASA has been upgraded and configured per Cisco's recommendation. We will be testing to see if the changes allow the ASA to properly handle the traffic from eVA. We will be testing and looking at the packets. If the ASA continues to mishandle eVA traffic then the PIX Firewall will have to be reinstalled. All traffic to the Internet will be interrupted during this time period.
