We have border firewall changes follow our change management process.  

It lets customers know when their changes will be made, and it protects the employees performing the changes on the off 
chance something goes wrong during the change causing any outage.

Hi all,
 
  We are in discussions of how to include border firewall changes in the change management process…..
 
Whether to require change management for any rule changes, and conduct during our weekly maintenance windows…..  or 
open it up and allow changes anytime during the week as is requested by Networking/Systems….
 
I was curious to how other .edu’s do it in their environments?
