Subject: Core Network Upgrades January 4th & 5th
On Sunday, January 4th and Monday, January 5th, EIU will be performing core network upgrades.
On Sunday, January 4th , from 2pm to 6pm, all network traffic to campus may be unavailable. This includes all internet access if you are on campus. If you are off-campus, access to any EIU-hosted services (such as eiu.edu, PAWS, and Banner) will be unavailable.
On Monday, January 5th, several on-campus buildings will experience brief network interruptions, typically lasting between 5 to 10 minutes. Most buildings will encounter only one short outage as they transition to the new network core. The affected buildings include Booth, Buzzard, Cencere, Coleman, Doudna, FPM, Gregg Technology Center, Health Service, Klehm, Lantz, Life Science, Lumpkin, Ninth Street, Stadium, Steam Plant, Tarble, and Textbook Rental. We anticipate the network to be fully functional if you are not in one of the impacted buildings.
