Responses Needed for Changes to “EECS” and “EECS-Open” Wireless Networks

by

In the near future, we will be making some changes to the EECS department’s wireless network offerings. The largest will be centered around the current “EECS” WEP network; proposed alterations include a switch to WPA2 and a probable name change for the SSID. We are also planning the removal of the “EECS-Open” unencrypted network.

To minimize any potential impact on classes, research, and projects, we must find out who relies specifically upon the “EECS” WEP network or the “EECS-Open” unencrypted network, especially for any instructional or research purposes. If you or your group fits this description, please get in touch by sending an e-mail to help@eecs.berkeley.edu with a short description of your use case so that we can keep in touch with you about the proposed changes and ensure that they will not have any adverse affect on your project.

To avoid a mid-semester change in service, we hope to make these changes around Labor Day, so please contact us quickly if you use the “EECS” or “EECS-Open” networks.

Thank you,

EECS/IRIS Network Group

UPS Maintenance in SDH 158

by

At 11 AM today we will be replacing batteries and performing maintenance on a faulty UPS located in our primary server and network room for Sutardja Dai Hall. No service interruptions are expected. However, in the event of a failure, there may be a ~5 minute loss of wired and wireless networking in Sutardja Dai Hall, as well as a loss of the NetApp network file storage for the EECS Instructional Labs. The maintenance is expected to last for approximately one hour, but two have been allotted in case of complication.

Intermittent network outage

by

We are seeing wireless and wired network disruption on the EECS networks, most noticeable on the wireless networks.

Campus reported an unscheduled network outage earlier this morning, still in progress (check http://ucbsystems.org/ for updates), but it’s as yet unclear whether this is related. Updates will be posted here as they are made available.

Cory Hall 5th Floor Switch Failure

by

On Friday night, we experienced a failure of an access switch on the 5th floor of Cory Hall. This has resulted in a loss of connectivity to approximately one third of the wired devices and wireless access points on the floor. We are currently in the process of replacing the switch and should restore full connectivity by 12:30 PM.
