Network connectivity is unavailable at some south campus locations

Update - The vendor is still analyzing the issue but recommended a reboot of the affected systems.

This would interrupt network connectivity for all buildings on the south side of campus between 2 to 5 minutes, affecting internet and campus connectivity as well as telephony services. All services should automatically re-establish once the reboot is completed.

We have opened a ticket with the vendor and are working with them on root cause and resolution. A reboot of the affected switches may be required.

At this time we have no ETA when services will be re-established but are working with the highest priority.

Updates will be provided as soon as they become available.

We appreciate everybody's patience and support while we are working on the resolution of this issue.
