Paul Main Network and Support Programming Network and Academic Computing Services From nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu Tue Jan 22 20:39:25 2002 From: nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu (Network Support Team ) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 12:39:25 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Ucinet-ops-net] 22 jan 02, 11:15am-present: internet connectivity trouble Message-ID: greetings, we're experiencing intermittent connectivity troubles from all external networks to UCI. we have solution on the way. if all goes well, we'll have this solved around 2:00pm. at 11:15am, tuesday, the gigabit interface in the CalREN2 GSR router located in the N&ACS central plant machine room began dropping the link to our border router. we took preliminary steps to replace what hardware we have - to no avail. we have someone dispatched to obtain the spare gigabit ethernet interface cards for the GSR from the CalREN2 NOC located in Los Alamitos. around 2:00pm, we will replace the suspect gigabit ethernet interface in the GSR. we will lose connectivity to outside networks when the hardware is exchanged for a few minutes. in the meantime, you may have trouble reaching some sites on the commodity internet as many ISPs implement a dampening cycle. when an ISP detects that a site is slipping off the internet map continuously over a fixed period of time, they stop advertising those routes for about 30 minutes. we'll provide a follow-up once the interface is replaced in the GSR. michael scott/network guy UCI Network and Academic Computing Service From nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu Tue Jan 22 20:46:01 2002 From: nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu (Network Support Team ) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 12:46:01 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Ucinet-ops-net] 22 jan 02, GSR update: Message-ID: short update: at 12:45, Clyde Higashida left the CalREN2 NOC. if the freeway is as clear as it was when he headed north, he should be back to the Central Plant Machine room around 1:10pm. as soon as the hardware arrives, we will replace it. mike From nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu Tue Jan 22 23:01:24 2002 From: nest@mothra.nts.uci.edu (Network Support Team ) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 15:01:24 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Ucinet-ops-net] 22 jan 02, 1320: GSR trouble resolved Message-ID: greetings, the suspect gigabit interface module in the CalREN2 GSR was replaced at 13:20 on tuesday, january 22. things look good. no one is dampening any of UCI's routes. all destinations should now be reachable. mike scott UCI Network and Academic Computing Services From schaefer@uci.edu Thu Jan 31 22:07:01 2002 From: schaefer@uci.edu (John Schaefer) Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2002 14:07:01 -0800 Subject: [Ucinet-ops-net] UPS and generator testing Message-ID: <5.0.1.4.2.20020131140451.00affc40@pop.uci.edu> Network & Academic Computing Services will be testing Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Generator Backup Systems at the following locations on the following dates and times: At Social Science 2 on Monday, February 4, at 6:30a.m. At Central Plant on Monday, February 4, at 7:15a.m. At Computer Science I on Tuesday, February 5, at 6:30a.m. At Engineering Tower on Tuesday, February 5, at 7:00a.m. At Medical Science D on Thursday, February 7, at 6:30a.m. These tests will last for approximately fifteen minutes, and should not be noticeable to users.
