Campus Network Connectivity Issues

OIT Network Engineering is aware of intermittent issues affecting both Internet and intra-campus network connectivity. These issues have been identified to be caused by instability on one of the core campus firewalls. In times of issues, users may experience a loss of connectivity to the Internet and campus resources, and may also briefly be disconnected from campus wireless networks. The Network Engineering team is actively working with the vendor to address these issues. Further updates will be provided as resolution efforts continue

OIT Network Engineering has put a change in place to minimize the impact of unplanned failover events of a campus firewall pair. Code has been supplied by the vendor which should address this issue, and it is currently being tested in the lab.

If testing is successful, the new code will be installed on these appliances during a planned maintenance period the evening of Wednesday, March 4th.
