Wireless controller configuration update - 7:30 AM April 25 2018
Posted on April 23, 2018 at 05:04:24 pm by frostm@uvic.ca
Effective date: April 25, 2018 at 02:30:00 pm(1 day from now)
Effective 1 day from now: Network services will be updating an IP address on the wireless controllers serving all wireless devices on campus at 7:30 AM on Wednesday April 25, 2018.
Each controller will be rebooted one at a time to complete an IP change to allow for future use of the CloudFlare DNS. This change requires a reboot of the controllers, causing associated access points to reboot.
We will first reboot the inside-ring controller, then the outside, to allow access points to fail over. No extended outage expected. Users on access points which reboot will experience a short disconnection while the APs associate to the backup controller, and again when they fall back to their main controller.
Work will be completed by 8 AM.
