During the Tuesday, 16 April 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. A few brief interruptions (less than ten minutes) are expected, but in the event of unforeseen problems, all network services (including Wi-Fi and IP telephones) will be affected, possibly for a number of hours.
- North campus: all buildings north of Prince Alfred St and west of Somerset St
- St Peters campus: all buildings south of Lucas Avenue.
- West campus: all buildings which are west of South St and north of Prince Alfred St
- Core routers: the software on one of the two core routers will be updated. No noticeable outage is expected as all network traffic should be handled by the other core router.
- Internet edge routers: the software on one of the two core routers will be updated. No noticeable outage is expected as all network traffic should be handled by the other edge router.
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.
