Network firmware upgrades, Sutardja Dai
During this scheduled outage, firmware will be upgraded on each of 3 switches serving the main building in Sutardja Dai Hall. Each switch will be offline for approximately 5 minutes as it is rebooted. The updated code has better features for detecting and mitigating remote loops introduced by users. This will enable us to prevent future disruptions like the one experienced last Wednesday.
AirBears service throughout EECS will be disrupted during one of the reboots.
