Wireless network service
Networks on the second floor of Soda Hall were unavailable for approximately 5-10 minutes today beginning at 10:41 AM. This occurred due to a switch crash during troubleshooting a memory leak.
The network is now stable, but the memory leak issue still exists and requires further network disruption to resolve. We will be attempting to address this during tonight’s already-scheduled Soda Hall electrical shutdown.
Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Portions of the EECS and campus networks experienced instability last night between 9PM and 2AM due to DDoS-like traffic directed at a system on the EECS network. This ended without intervention from network staff; we are investigating and remaining on standby in case this reoccurs.
Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions or notice any issues.
We will be performing Jacobs Hall network maintenance overnight from Tuesday, August 12th at 10PM to Wednesday, August 13th at 7:30AM. This maintenance is to replace the existing end-of-life router and switches with newer campus standard devices.
All wired and wireless networks in Jacobs Hall will be unavailable between 10PM Tuesday night and 7:30AM Wednesday morning. We expect all networks to be back online by 7:30AM.
Update: This work has been completed. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any network issues.
At 6AM on Tuesday, August 5th, we will be migrating the first set of Jacobs Hall subnet gateways to new router hardware. This is being done because the current hardware is end-of-life, and also as part of a project to refresh Jacobs Hall networks to the current campus standard.
The following networks will be affected:
– Jacobs Hall general-use wired network (169.229.62.0/24)
– Jacobs Hall wireless networks
During this maintenance, the networks above will be unavailable for a period of time. We expect all work to be complete by 7AM.
Update 8/4: We are postponing this maintenance due to ongoing troubleshooting of a fiber link issue. A new announcement will be made when this work is re-scheduled. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu with any questions.
We had a brief partial outage to EECS networks this morning between 7:15-7:20 due to an unplanned device reboot during a troubleshooting procedure. All networks should be back online at this time. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any issues.
We will be performing various network maintenance activities throughout the day on Wednesday, March 26th during the previously announced Soda Hall 2nd floor power shutdown. We expect that most of our work will not affect wired and wi-fi network service, however there will be some brief outages as described below.
Between 12PM and 1PM on the 26th, the areas listed below will experience at least one interruption to network connectivity. We expect most of these interruptions to be under one minute in length, but some wi-fi service may be unavailable for 5-10 minutes.
Update 15:44: This work has been completed and all networks are online. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any issues.
Cory Hall networks were unstable today between approx. 9:25AM – 11:00AM due to an apparent misbehaving end-user device on the 4th floor. We have temporarily removed this device from the network and all networks are stable at this time.
Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any issues or have any questions.
We have been experiencing campus-level network instability since sometime around midnight, which is affecting the EECS and BWRC networks. Network team is investigating and working with the vendor to restore full network connectivity.
Update 2/11 6:41AM: The campus network team resolved these issues late Friday evening and our monitoring indicates that the network has been stable since. Please contact help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any ongoing issues.
We have a power outage on part of campus, affecting at least Cory and Soda Halls, starting at just after 8am this morning. All EECS systems and networks may be unavailable until power is restored.
[Read more…] about North campus power outage Jan 4, 2025On Thursday, November 14th, between 6:30 and 9:45 AM, Cory Hall third floor wired and wireless networks will be offline due to electrical work being performed at the main service panel. Facilities is performing this work in order to restore electrical power to the Cory Hall Helpdesk.
Facilities is reporting that the west side of the third floor (which includes the network closet) will be without power from 6:30 – 9:30 AM. The network devices, particularly the wi-fi APs, will need some time to boot up after power is restored. We typically expect network connectivity to be restored within 10-20 minutes after power returns to the network closet.
Update 11/14 9:36AM: This work was apparently completed without any interruption to the network. Please contact help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
