On Tuesday, July 28th the south end of campus experienced a network outage which affected Lamson Library, Highland Hall, Boyd Hall, Holmes House, and the Hall, Pemi and Belknap Residential halls.
The outage began shortly after midnight and was at first intermittent. At approximately 6 am the outage became widespread and affected all buildings on the Lamson segment of the network. The problem was diagnosed as a hardware failure on the Core network router and workaround was put in place which allowed network connectivity to be restored at 10:00 am.
A postmortem and root cause analysis report is forth coming and will be made available as an attachment to this post.
