EECS Border Firewall Changes, Mon. March 23

by

On Monday, March 23rd, we will be adding some new ports to the list of ports that are blocked by the EECS border firewall.

For detailed information about the changes, please see our EECS Firewall Ports page (this page requires login). The list of ports that we will add to the block list is at the bottom of that page.

Update 3/23 8:05AM: These changes have taken effect, and the new ports are now being blocked from off-campus. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions or notice any issues.

Wireless Networks Offline, Monday 1/5

by

As of about 11:51 AM: wireless networks are offline due to a power issue in one of the campus network core sites. Wired networks are unaffected and continue to operate normally. We will update again when we have more information about the status of the campus network core.

Update 13:36: Campus has begun restoring power to the network core using temporary connections, so we expect to see some wi-fi service resume. However, wi-fi may experience some continuing instability as the work to restore full power goes on.

Update 17:02: Power has been restored and network services should be fully available. There may be some late-night wi-fi disruptions as staff perform some cleanup work.

Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.

Soda Hall Electrical Shutdown and BWRC Network Outage, 11/5 7PM

by

Our Facilities crew has received the new circuit breaker to be installed on the first floor of Soda (see previous IRIS News items for September 18 and September 8), and has scheduled the installation for the evening of Wednesday, November 5. As announced to Soda Hall occupants by the building manager via email, power to the building will be out between 7PM and 10:30PM, so building occupancy will not be allowed.

Since this outage is expected to be longer than the previous work, IRIS will be shutting down the department NetApp fileservers, and all systems that depend on them (such as webservers and login servers). Fileservers will be shutdown at 6:45PM; most other systems will be shutdown between 6PM and 6:30PM. Please shutdown any systems that depend on IRIS fileservice by 6:30PM.

We plan to keep dhcp.eecs and lists.eecs, the department mailing list server, online during this time. Redundant services such as Active Directory and LDAP will continue to be served from Cory Hall.

BWRC networks may be offline for a time during this shutdown, as they are dependent on Soda Hall.

Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
