<description>Work will be performed on PDU1 (power distribution unit) in the TAB Data Center during the regularly scheduled maintenance window at 6:00a on 06/29/2008.  Systems with dual power supplies are attached to multiple PDUs and should experience no interruption, but the following production systems only have one power supply and will be brought down during the power work:

iggy
serpentine
cooper
wharton

As with any large scale power work, there is some small chance that other systems may unintentionally be affected.  Should this occur, the outage should be a brief as Operations works to restore power to the machine(s) in question.

If you have any questions, please email Marjorie Tedoldi</description>

<title>Emergency Network Change: Primary Border Router Replacement</title>
<link>http://infoboard.tufts.edu/view.php?t=oid&amp;oid=1050</link>
<guid>http://infoboard.tufts.edu/view.php?t=oid&amp;oid=1050</guid>
<pubDate>Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:30:00 GMT</pubDate>
<description>Due to a hardware failure of the Tufts primary border router yesterday (Wednesday) evening, the network has been running with a single network connection out to the Internet, and with no direct link to Internet 2.   The Network Engineering group has received and configured replacement equipment, and intends to bring it online this evening, at 5:30pm.   

There may be a 5-10 minute period where the university experiences no external network connectivity, while Internet routing recalculates for our additional external links.

Internal network connectivity will not be affected by this change.</description>
