During the Tuesday, February 5th maintenance window, software updates will be installed on all of the routers and firewalls which form the Rhodes University network, starting at 5:30 PM. This will involve a series of outages that will affect all network services (including IP telephony).
Each sector of campus is likely to experience three outages, which we expect will in most cases be less than a minute, but some will be up to fifteen minutes. Note that there is always the potential for an update to cause unforeseen problems which may result in longer outages.
This maintenance work is being undertaken in the ITSC-approved scheduled maintenance window, and should be completed before midnight.
