Scheduled

WiscNet staff will be patching the backbone router located at 350 E Cermak Rd in Chicago on Tuesday, July 29th at 10pm. There will be two 15 minute interruptions as both the operating system and the line cards need upgrades and these actions are not performed concurrently. For the duration of this maintenance, BGP sessions will be set to import reject and export reject on all prefixes. For members using Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute circuits, the path via 710 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago will remain operational during this maintenance window.
