Network Maintenance Sunday, February 21st

By Andrew Hogan, February 19, 2021

Replacement of major network hardware will be taking place on February 21st from 12:01am-7:00am. The hardware is nearing end of support and there have been a few minor issues with the hardware. Therefore, we are replacing the hardware to prevent an unplanned outage from occurring. 

The following are the services that will be impacted:

  •  If someone is on campus in a non-residence hall building (academic or administrative building) they will not be able to connect to anything, on or off campus.  This includes printing and the Internet.
  • If someone is off campus or in a residence hall (ResNet):
    • They will be able to continue to access email and the rest of the Office 365 services (including Teams), Zoom, Sakai, finance, HR, WWW website, and the Internet. 
    • They will not be able to access Homer (Registration Tools and Student Financial Services), DegreeWorks, MyICHealth, IC Workflow, SchoolDude, or any other on-campus hosted service.

IT has been working with Facilities, SFS, the Registrar, OPS, ResLife, and Finance to select this date.  Let me know if you have any questions by sending an email to ckendall@ithaca.edu.  Thank You.
