Network Maintenance - 06/16/2015

The maintenance to the Kanren backbone has been completed, and service has been restored to the main campus, Salina and Olathe campuses.

History:
KanRen has completed the backbone maintenance.  However, there is an issue with the link to the Olathe campus.  Currently Olathe users have no access to main campus resources and the internet.  We are working with Cisco TAC to resolve this problem.




Kanren will be performing maintenance to backbone nodes on the K-State campus. The maintenance will be on Tuesday, June 16th, from 12:01am - 3:00am. We have redundant connections between the K-State border and Kanren, and only one link will be down at a time.  So main campus should not see an interruption in Internet service or access to internal resources and the Data Center during the maintenance.

The Salina and Olathe campuses, and the Lawrence DR are connected into the core infrastructure on the main campus, via Kanren connections.  Those locations will experience a loss in connectivity to main campus resources and the Internet during the maintenance.  While internal resources between the Manhattan KDA building and the Hale Data Center will not be affected,  Internet connectivity and remote office connectivity will be impacted during this maintenance.
