A key component of the central network router is not performing correctly. Info Systems will be taking the router down for at least an hour beginning at 6:30am, Wednesday, August 27.

SYSTEMS AFFECTED: IMPACT: ALL network services will be down.

NO email access (but no mail will be lost)
NO Internet access
NO access to Blackboard
NO access to the AS400 (administrative system)
NO access to Campus Web
NO access to the library system (Sadie)
NO access to the EMU web server

This is the FIRST of possibly TWO procedures to correct the problem. If this fails to correct the problem a new part will be ordered and an additional outage in the near future will be required to install the new part.

This notice will be updated with details as they become available. Check back for more details.

Swapped out the 6148 gig blade from slot 9 and installed into slot 8. Modified the config so the gig blade works in slot 8. Ran tests to verify connectivity using ping, telnet and www. Both showed latency. Called Cisco to reevaluate the case. Moved all Novell servers from the Gig blade back to the 10/100 blade.
