I will be upgrading the IOS on our Core Router (Cisco 6905) at 5:00am tomorrow morning (Tuesday Feb 8th).
The upgrade is to enable a new 10GB interface slot card.
All preparations are already in place, so I expect the downtimes to be short (5-10min each) and intermittent between 5:00-6:00am.
During the downtimes, all inter network-connectivity will be disabled. There will be no access to any services or resources during this time.
This will include but not limited to: email, internet, databases, VPN, etc.
Integra will be working on installing a new Internet circuit on 8/13/2010 from 6:30am-8:00am intermittent outages are expected, which will only effect the internet browsing on the resnet side of the campus.
Integra circuit is back in operation with minor issues on the Integra side. We will have to arrange another appointment to finish the upgrade. 07:45am 08/13/2010.
FYI
Monday, July 12th between 5:00-6:00am we are scheduled to have a Safe Connect Server Upgrade installed. This process will not effect users on the network. The most noticeable result of the upgrade with be a visible change to the Safe Connect Administration Console.
