Network Services Maintenance

From October 1, 2026, 11:00 p.m. to October 2, 2026, 4:00 a.m.

Impact of the change on users:

During the scheduled after-hours maintenance, all network services will be impacted by two brief, campus-wide interruptions as traffic is routed from Fairfax to the disaster recovery (DR) site as designed. The first interruption is expected to be less than 5 minutes while traffic is moved to DR. Once the Fairfax routers have been upgraded, a second brief interruption of less than 5 minutes is expected as traffic is routed back to the Fairfax routers.

Reason for the change:

ITS is performing scheduled network infrastructure maintenance to improve reliability, maintain vendor support, and help ensure the continued security and integrity of university network services.
