EECS-Secure wifi outage due to power failure in Soda Hall

April 2, 2013 by IRIS Staff

A brief power outage in Soda Hall led to an outage in the EECS-Secure wifi, though other EECS wifi SSIDs remained operable.

The cause of the outage was due to the radius servers failing to automatically power on again once power was restored, so they had to be started manually. We will review the configuration of these servers in an effort make them more resilient to such outages.
