During the Tuesday, 9 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 the university data centres. A few brief interruptions (less than five minutes) are expected, but in the event of unforeseen problems, all services hosted in data centres will be affected, possibly for as long as an hour.
- 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.
