There will be maintenance outages of the Soda and Sutardja Dai Hall networks on Tuesday, December 8th at 9PM in order to apply a vendor-suggested software update to the main routers for those buildings. The update is intended to fix a bug regarding in-band SSH management of the routers. The wired and wireless networks in each building will be unavailable while the update is being applied.

A similar upgrade was performed in Cory Hall on November 17th with no issues.

Each outage is expected to last for less than ten minutes. Please contact help@eecs.berkeley.edu with any questions or concerns.
