(64451) Evanston and Chicago Campus Network maintenance

Scheduled

Northwestern Information Technology will be performing a software upgrade to the Palo Alto Departmental firewalls 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.
