Scheduled

Network switches are having the latest software installed, in line with the switch manufacturers recommendations.

The software update is being applied to all network ‘edge’ switches, so the university’s wired and wireless networks will experience a service interruption overnight. Data centres will be unaffected by this work.

While the switches apply the new software, and reboot - network services will experience a 20-minute service interruption.
