From: Tom Steffes
ECS will be performing a planned replacement of the core network
switch on Thursday Evening. We will begin the replacement work
sometime between 6:00 and 7:00pm once all administrative offices
have closed for the evening.
We will be trying to minimize network downtime by moving the old
switch to the side and continuing to keep the network up while we
install the new switch. Once the new one is in place, we will then
begin moving the connections over at which time there may be some
network disruptions. Possible disruptions could include temporary
loss of connection to the Earlham network from outside the campus
as well as loss to on campus resources and the Internet from on
campus.
We will do our best to keep these to a minimum, but please be aware
that problems may occur.
The network should be up and stable by Friday morning.
