E-mail delays

We are seeing some delay in email delivery through the listserves and from off campus this morning.  TSS staff are working on the problem.

SPAM filter failure

The SPAM filter on one of the front-end mail servers stopped working over the weekend.  It is now working correctly.

CANCELED - Planned K-20 Network Outage Sunday 3/9
The outage for March 9th has been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date.
Planned K-20 Network Outage Sunday 3/9

 K-20 needs to update the Operating System on the K-20 routers that are located on each CTC campus as well as CIS and the SBCTC. This is necessary because the current version is susceptible to a denial of service attack. This work will occur Sunday, March 9. Each site will probably be down for less than 15 minutes. The CIS’s K-20 router will be upgraded first, as a result colleges may potentially experience two 15 minutes outages depending on if they are accessing resources located at CIS. The first outage would be when CIS’s K-20 router is upgraded and a second  when their college’s K-20 router is upgraded.

 

During  the time when the K-20 router located on your campus is being upgraded, you will have access only to resources located on your campus.

 

When the CIS’s K-20 edge router is being upgraded,  colleges will lose access to the following resources located at CIS:

 

Web Admissions

WAOL

ORCA Library systems

Two of the three CIS maintained DNS servers (134.39.2.118 and 134.39.2.120) NOTE: 168.156.2.17 WILL be available

Web Transaction Server (WTS) sites hosted at CIS

Personal or organizational sites and/or email hosted on ctc.edu or aurora.ctc.edu

Listservs

CIS website (www.cis.ctc.edu<http://www.cis.ctc.edu>)

Web access to Remedy

HP 3000s located at CIS

Pre-production access to  re-hosted applications

 

K-20 has asked for a 4 hour window in case they run into unexpected problems, but hope to  done in less than 2 hours.  The current outage schedule is:

 

Start: 3/9/08 – 09:00 AM

 

End: 3/9/08 – 01:00 PM

SPAM filter update
The spam filter is again working on both front-end servers.
SPAM filter

The spam filter on one of our front-end mail servers (we have two) is not working this morning.  TSS staff are looking into the problem.

Wireless Network Update

The wireless network now requires users to login.  The new wireless portal software has a few bugs that we are working with the vendor to resolve.  Please call the TSS helpline at ext. 5872 if you are experiencing difficulties using the wireless network.

SPAM filter changes

The Bayesian filter has been disabled due to the number of false positives.  The filter will continue to run in learn mode until the database matures.  E-mail users may notice a slight increase of SPAM in their inboxes.
