Facebook-owned sites were down

"I believe the original change was 'automatic' (as in configuration done via a web interface). However, now that connection to the outside world is down, remote access to those tools don't exist anymore, so the emergency procedure is to gain physical access to the peering routers and do all the configuration locally."

Hmm, could be a UI/UX bug then :)

Seems odd to not have a redundant backdoor on a different network interface. Maybe that is too big of a security risk but idk.

You know how after changing resolution and other video settings you get a popup "do you want to keep these changes?" with a countdown and automatic revert in case you managed to screw up and can't see the output anymore?

Well, I wonder why a router that gets a config update but then doesn't see any external traffic for 4 hours doesn't just revert back to the last known good config...
