Printer server problem

by

The EECS Department’s print server, print.eecs.berkeley.edu, was working intermittently between 10:30 and 11:30am today. After several attempts to restart the print service, the entire machine was rebooted at 11:30, which resolved the problem.

Brief Network Disruption.

by

All connectivity between EECS and the outside world was briefly disrupted. The exact cause of the outage is unknown; log messages are inconclusive. The primary symptom was dropped OSPF routes on the links which traverse the EECS firewall links. While nobody was actively working on the equipment at that time, it’s possible this outage is related to preliminary testing of new 10GB network links to campus. The problem seems to have resolved itself.
