This temporary disconnection is essential as we carefully transition users to our cutting-edge equipment, ensuring a smoother and faster internet experience in the future.

 

Additionally, the wireless network will undergo a crucial reboot during this upgrade process.

Start Time: 1/12/25 6:00 am - End Time: 1/12/25 12:00 pm

Description

Update 1/12/24 1:22pm

Networking Services has completed the software updates to the Network Access Control devices. Testing has been successful and WiFI, VPN and wired connections have been tested.

 

Information Technology Services is performing necessary updates to campus networking devices on Sunday morning. We are happy to share that no outage is necessary to make these updates. In our message last week, we indicated that these updates would create an outage, which is no longer the case.

Additional details:

ITS will be upgrading the software on our Network Access Control devices on Sunday, January 12. The initial phase will begin at 12:01 am on the redundant devices, with no noticeable impact to campus.

The second phase of the upgrade will begin at 6:00am and be complete by noon. During the second phase, we expect a short 10-to-15-minute window when people connecting to WiFi, VPN, and some wired connections, might be required to wait a few minutes to fully connect.
