Collecting information before a cutover helps you determine whether services are normal before and after...

Before performing a network cutover (migration or upgrade), it is essential to collect baseline data to ensure that services operate normally before and after the change.

Importance of Pre-Cutover Information Collection:

Identifies Network Baseline – Helps compare pre-cutover and post-cutover performance.

Detects Hidden Issues – Ensures that no existing network issues interfere with the cutover process.

Prevents Service Interruptions – Ensures all dependent services are accounted for.

Provides Rollback Plan – If issues arise, administrators can restore previous configurations.
