On Wed, Feb 3rd from 8:00 to 9:00AM, there will be a patch to be applied for EECS department RADIUS server. Public facing services which depend on RADIUS are EECS-Secure, EECS-Open, and EECS-Guest authentication and accounting. We do not expect this work will cause an outage for these services, as the second, redundant server will remain operational during this time and should not be affected by this work. A one hour outage window has been scheduled in the event of unexpected problems.

Please contact with help@eecs or networks@eecs if you have any question.

EECS Wireless AP controllers will be upgraded with the newer version of firmware on Jan 10 (Sun) at 8:30AM.

We will reboot 3 AP controllers one by one. We will schedule the wireless network downtime for about 1 hour. Each controller will take about 20 mins or less to reboot. You may experience that the wireless network will be down for about 20 mins during 8:30AM-9:30AM. This upgrade will not affect wireless users in BWRC. During this time, the wired network will still work.

If you have questions, please contact with networks@eecs

Wireless AP controllers in Soda, Cory and Citris will switch to use new RADIUS server on Dec 15 at 9:00PM. The users may need to accept the new certificate from etips1.eecs.berkeley.edu in order to use EECS-Secure. If you are using other SSIDs, you will not be affected by this change.

You can follow the instructions to accept the new certificate based on what platform (xp,vista, windows 7 or mac) your laptop is using. https://iris.eecs.berkeley.edu/15-faq/21-network/eecs-secure.html

If you have other questions, please contact with help@eecs.
