Why?

Network equipment is being replaced.  

Impact

Intermittent network outages are expected while each connection is moved from the old equipment to the new equipment. The expected downtime for any individual computer, printer, IP phone, or other device is 30 seconds to 15 minutes. 

Action Needed

Gordon Library occupants, this change is scheduled while the building is closed. For anyone who may be connecting during that time, please be aware of the change and email netops@wpi.edu if you lose connectivity for more than 15 minutes. For specialized equipment in the building, please confirm network connectivity after the maintenance window completes. 

Details

In an effort to reduce the impact, this network change is scheduled outside of typical Gordon Library business hours. If you have questions, or experience an issue following the change, please contact Network Operations by emailing netops@wpi.edu. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to maintain and improve WPI's network service.
