Firewall maintenance will cause temporary connectivity disruption Dec. 20.

Wednesday Night, Dec. 20, ITS is making a border network enhancement/reconfiguration.

This maintenance process will cause an initial outage of approximately 20 minutes in duration, followed by possible shorter outages of 5 – 10 minute durations for off campus traffic, according to the department. Follow up testing may cause some of the briefer outages. Work will begin at 10 p.m. and will be fully completed by midnight.

During the maintenance period, there will be brief internet connectivity interruptions. Although the interruptions should be very short, it may be necessary to restart persistent Internet connections.

The work will not affect ResNet traffic towards the internet.

If you have any questions or concerns with this upgrade, please contact CougTech, 335-4357.
