Planned Network Core Software Upgrade June 25th 20:00- June 26th 08:00Archived
ITS Networks is planning on doing software upgrades on the main network cores as well as the core aggregation routers.
These software upgrades will cause large parts of campus to lose network connectivity while the cores and routers reboot to apply the major revision upgrade. Outages will vary and will affect different buildings at different times based on how they are connected to the cores or routers. Some buildings have redundant connections and should not be affected.
The upgrade is planned to only affect a single core or router at a time.
During the primary core upgrade both Cogent Internet and ORION will be offline as they connect through the primary core.
During the secondary core upgrade Cogeco Internet will be offline as it connects through our secondary core.
Should you have any concerns with the timing of this maintenance or any questions, please contact Ray Pengelly at 32034.
We apologize for this inconvenience but are confident that this work will provide improved and more secure network services.
