Network Maintenance during evening hours Tuesday (1/31) through Friday (2/3)

WHAT: PLU Campus Network Maintenance

WHEN: 01/31/2023 Duration: Evening hours beginning around 8:00PM each night

WHERE: PLU Campus

Current Status: Open

Description: I&TS is completing a series of network maintenance work as part of the final stage of an over two-year project to migrate to a new network architecture and access control system.  The changes the next few nights should generally not be widely noticeable, but may result in device across campus getting new IP address assignments between 8pm and the following early morning hours.

Impact to users: There may be brief disruptions to network access as each building transitions to the new configuration.  If you experience connectivity issues that are not resolved in 10-20 minutes it is likely a reboot of the device should resolve the issue.  Similarly, if you arrive to work following changes the night before, a reboot of the device before contacting the Help Desk is recommended.
