(56461) Evanston Campus Network Equipment Maintenance

Scheduled for Mar 12, 20:00 - 23:00 CDT

Scheduled

Northwestern Information Technology will be performing a software upgrade to the Palo Alto Departmental firewalls on the Evanston Campus listed below. The firewalls are being upgraded to install new software that brings them up to the latest vendor-recommended version and also protects us from recently released security vulnerabilities. Standalone firewalls will be down for around 5-10 minutes during the reboot. No end user impact for the Redundant Paired firewalls during this upgrade due to the redundant nature of this equipment.
