UC Firewall Maintenance This Weekend – Possible Outages At Times

Kia ora koutou

IT are switching from one firewall provider to another this weekend.  The work will start Friday 2nd July at 9pm and go through the evening (hoping to finish by Saturday morning).  There is the possibility that it might continue through until 6am Monday morning  so weekend library hours may be affected.

We can expect some of the things below while the work takes place:

  • Brief UC wi-fi  (UC Wireless and guest wifi) outages
  • Halls of Residences internet/wi-fi outages
  • Intermittent 10-15 minute UC internet access outages (you may not be able to get to non-UC webpages at times)
  • Access to UC websites (including web-portals like LEARN) from off-campus will be unavailable for a short time.
  • Delays in sending/receiving emails for UC accounts.

There should be something coming out in Tū ki te tahi about this this week that might narrow down the timeframe a bit more

Ngā mihi,
