Replacing a bonder
===================

To replace a customer's bonder, follow this process:

#. Image the new bonder with the same key as the device it is replacing.
   The bond does not need to be deleted or re-created. After it is
   provisioned, do not allow the new device to connect to the aggregator
   until the old device has been removed from the network.
#. Send the new bonder to the customer's site.
#. Shut down the old bonder and disconnect its Internet and
   customer-facing connections
#. Connect the Internet and customer-facing connections to the same
   interfaces on the new bonder and start it.

The new bonder will connect to the aggregator and management server and
begin forwarding customer traffic.
