Soda Aggregation Router Upgrade, 5/2/17

May 2, 2017 by Derek Calderon

We will be performing a software upgrade of the Soda Hall aggregation router at 6:30 AM on Tuesday, May 2nd. Wired and wireless networks in Soda Hall will be unavailable for 5-10 minutes while the router reboots. BWRC will also be cut off from the outside world during this time as its uplink is dependent on this router.

The Millennium research network will not be affected.

This upgrade is being performed to resolve certain bugs in the current software version so that we can move forward with our early-stage IPV6 deployment, which is currently targeted for this summer.

Network interruption at EECS border

April 10, 2017 by Lars Rohrbach

A little after 1pm today, we experienced a loss of network traffic at the EECS border. Typical network use within EECS continued to work, though it appeared we were cut off from the rest of campus, and the outside world.

Staff investigation found the problem to be at or with one of the department border firewall devices. The secondary firewall device has been made primary now, and traffic is routing properly. Staff will further examine the problem firewall device, to narrow down the specific cause.
