IT scheduled maintenance work will occur on Tuesday, January 14th, starting at 7 PM and being completed before midnight.
Software on the firewalls which connect the Internet to the campus, SEALS and public networks will be updated to fix a long-standing issue. As the firewalls operate as a redundant pair, no noticeable outages are expected during this maintenance; however, should any problems occur, all Internet services will be inaccessible from campus, and all campus-hosted services will be inaccessible from the Internet.
This work will be 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 5 PM on Tuesday.
