Essential network maintenance: Brief interruptions to services between 5pm and 8pm on 19 August 2024Planned Maintenance

Description

On Monday, August 19, between 5 pm and 8 pm, essential network maintenance will take place to conduct a failover test following the recent reconfiguration of our core network. While every effort has been made to ensure there is minimal impact to services, we anticipate that during this change there will be two small interruptions to the network traffic (affecting both wired and wireless) when we remove and reconnect, and services may experience a very brief interruption. These interruptions will happen around 5.30 pm and 7.15 pm. These interruptions to the network will impact access to services hosted on campus and access from campus to online services, including some telephony. We are engaging with key service owners to help mitigate any impact. The network should recover without manual intervention, but IT staff will be on standby during the work to monitor key services and act if required. As always, with changes like this, the network will be classed as ‘at-risk’ for the duration of the work. If you have any concerns or questions regarding this work, please contact the IT Services Desk, bristol.ac.uk/it-services/contacts (Ref: C2407-389)
