I agree with what Jack said -- halt the network (even the system if
possible -- because it's almost the same thing...) while the larger network
work is being done.  When the new gear is in place and seems stable "wake
up" the 3000 and watch to what happens.

When you halt the network (presuming you're not taking the box down) be
sure to halt/quiesce network-dependent things (like jobs/listeners) just
prior.  I'd suggest doing an 'openq' on your network printers as well (keep
the input side of printing open, but not the output side).   (And if you're
thinking "gee, it's almost like shutting down the system" see the paragraph
before this one :-)            - d
