During the Tuesday, 12 September maintenance window, maintenance work will affect certain services, starting at 5:30 PM and being completed before midnight. The following work is planned:
- Distribution routers: software will be updated on the routers serving all buildings in the areas listed below. All network services (including Wi-Fi and IP telephones) may be disrupted in those areas for up to 30 minutes.
- St Peters campus: all buildings south of Lucas Avenue.
- North campus and west campus: all buildings north of Prince Alfred St.
- Core and edge routers: the software on the two core routers and two edge routers will be updated. No noticeable outage is expected as all network traffic should be handled by the alternate core or edge (as applicable) router while each router is updated.
This work is being conducted during a minor maintenance period. Should there be a compelling reason why this work should not go ahead as planned, please contact support@ru.ac.za before 3:00 PM on Tuesday.
