Potential Internet Outage 1/9, 1/10

The College’s Internet Service Provider has informed us that upcoming maintenance could result in a full internet outage for a brief period in the morning hours of either the 9th or 10th of January. This work is estimated to take place between 6:00 and 7:00AM.

Additional Network Maintenance 12/19

On Thursday, December 19th ITS and RE Johnson will be testing fiber connections on the South end of campus. The following locations will experience up to 1-hour outages in this order: Loomis Street houses, Schultz, Carnegie, and Physical Plant.

Network Maintenance 12/22 – 12/27

ITS will perform planned network maintenance the week of December 22 through 27, beginning with a brief outage on Sunday the 22nd during the standing maintenance window of 6am to 10am. This outage will last approximately 15 minutes. Additional maintenance will occur during the remainder of the week, resulting in brief, rolling outages across campus.

Network Outages – Power Event in Doane Data Center

On the afternoon of July 30th there was an event that affected the equipment at the new data center in Doane Hall, causing network outages in the same buildings that were affected by the planned maintenance from the previous week. We’re currently investigating and have identified a temporary workaround that should restore connectivity shortly.

Campus Wide Network Outage 7/22 – 7/30

As part of the overall network upgrade project that has taken place over the last year, ITS will be performing maintenance on core infrastructure in Doane Hall. Because this task involves the relocation of core network fiber connections, much of campus will be without internet for up to 8 days. Please note that this will also affect the VOIP phone system. The following buildings will be affected.
