[Firefighting] PacketShaper Replaced

The replacement for our dead PacketShaper arrived today, and with Aaron and Kevan’s help, I got it online.

Aaron and Kevan got it rackmounted and connected to the appropriate cables. At that point I ran through the guided basic setup to give it its network identity. With that, I was able to connect over FTP, transfer the config.ldi file, and then load the current configuration as the previous shaper had it. All in all, quite straightforward. The new unit has 512MB of RAM, which bodes well for NetFlow reports.
