NETWORK OUTAGE AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS – FAIRFAX CAMPUS

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.
