February 2014

Who is affected:
All users of the CS department computing and network infrastructure

What is happening:
We are physically moving our gateway router and core switch between racks within the second floor construction area and transitioning to new fiber uplinks. During this time, both wired and wireless networking will be unavailable in the CS building. All CS-based services will be unavailable including cycle servers, ionic cluster, e-mail, web content, DNS, DHCP, CIFS, etc. CS portions of the wired network will be unavailable in Sherrerd Hall (CITP), 221 Nassau (PlanetLab), and the Friend Center (010 Suite).

Why is it happening:
This is part of the renovation work.

Who is affected:
Most users in the CS Building

What is happening:
We will be temporarily disconnecting and then reconnecting many wired network ports over a wide swath of the CS Building. This specifically includes offices that have had their connections recently moved from one box to another. It also includes the uplink to room 002.

Why is it happening:
This is part of the network relocation that is part of the ongoing CS Building renovations.
