Northwestern Information Technology will be performing a software upgrade to the Juniper Departmental firewalls listed below. The firewalls are being upgraded to install new software that brings them up to the latest vendor-recommended version and protects us from recently released critical security vulnerabilities. Standalone firewalls will be down for around 5-10 minutes during the reboot. Redundant Paired firewalls will also have a brief 3–4-minute interruption during this upgrade as the firewalls are upgraded.
