Outage category: Wired Network, Wireless Network
Location: Fairfax Campus
Status: Open
Resolved Alert:
Initial Symptoms
Customers in various locations on Fairfax campus were reporting intermittent network services.
Root Cause Analysis
Cause
A line card in the Data Center Perimeter Edge router had a failure.
Resolution
Line card was reset, services were restored.
Prevention
Engineers will be monitoring and working with Cisco support, on why the PE router 1 had a line card issue? Also we are in the process of dual fiber connection in those buildings that were affected. Once we run the 2nd fiber connection to those buildings, these type of outages will not be felt by the Mason Community. We will have redundancy to all buildings on Campus.
