Essential Firewall Security Maintenance

Beginning on Thursday August 14th at 10 p.m. and concluding on Friday August 15th at 12 p.m., IT/Enterprise Network and Systems Services will be performing a scheduled essential maintenance on the University’s campus firewall security system.
Thanks to the architecture and redundancy of our security infrastructure, there should be no interruption to any campus system services or resources. But while maintenance is performed, intermittent access to systems services/resources could occur. Although this is a non-disruptive system maintenance, we want to make our community aware in case of any unforeseen issues.

If you do encounter any issues with access to campus resources either before or after this scheduled maintenance window, please report them as always to the Helpdesk via Helpdesk ticketing system or 973.720.4357.

Thank you

The disruption was caused by a faulty electrical power source supplying our network distribution switch. The issue was resolved by rerouting power to an alternate source.
