  • Retain /23 subnets: As a reminder, please do not decommission or disable the existing /23 subnets, as they remain the primary path for Production traffic.

• Application/Onboarding: Coordinate with your network team to confirm the BGP and firewall updates are complete before attempting to provision or activate any new FIX credentials.
