Network slowness, dropped packets

by

Staff are investigating widespread reports of network slowness and dropped packets.

Network traffic solely within EECS networks appears to be fine, but network traffic traveling past the EECS border to campus or beyond is incurring significant packet loss. It is unclear at this time whether the problem exists on the EECS side or the campus side.

We will update this news item with more information as it becomes available.

cronus down time – no NIS, time or DNS service Tuesday March 27, 2018 7am-7:30am

by

cronus will not be providing NIS, time and DNS services
starting at 7am Tuesday March 27, 2018.

A new server will become cronus shortly after 7am.

Though the scheduled downtime is 7am to 7:30am, we expect actual
downtime to be less. Devices on the IRIS networks
should be able to use rhea for NIS, time and DNS services
while cronus is down.

If you have any questions or notice any issues, please
contact help@eecs aka the IRIS help desk (395 Cory M-F 9:30am-5pm,
642-7777)
