[Complete] Legacy DNS to be Retired 10/25/2010 at 5:30 AM

This change was completed without incident at 5:30am this morning. We continue to monitor key services for any reliance on this retired DNS system.

At 5:30 AM on Monday, October 25th, our legacy DNS servers will be turned off (houdini.ups.edu 192.124.98.110; babel.ups.edu 192.124.98.111). These servers have been effectively retired for about six months.  Any computers with these DNS servers set within the university network should immediately be changed to 207.207.101.4 & 207.207.101.6.

DHCP has been handing out these new DNS IPs for months, and only users who set the entries statically will be affected – should be very few users; we’ve watched the logs to make sure no large population was using the old service.

[Completed] Residential Internet – Emergency Maintenance Scheduled

[Updated 12:20 AM] The maintenance was completed successfully, and all connections have been restored.

Integra Telecomm has informed us that Emergency Maintenance has been scheduled for our Residential Internet Connection. It is scheduled to start at 12:00 AM (midnight). The outage is scheduled to be 15-20 minutes in duration. Please plan accordingly. All on-campus network access will still be available, but no off-campus Internet access will be available. 

This will also cause a loss of VPN access to the campus network.
