Maintenance work TUnet backbone Science Center Arsenal campus

The replacement of the Arsenal backbone router will take place during a maintenance window on Tuesday 22 September 2020 between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. During this time all TUnet services in this campus area will be interrupted for up to 10 minutes.

The TUnet campus enterprise network infrastructure is continually adapted to the needs of TU Wien. Currently, the implementation of a modern 100 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure is underway to fulfil future requirements of the ever progressing digitalization process.

After the successful upgrade of the core routers and the Getreidemarkt and Karlsplatz backbone routers, this upgrade will be performed for the Science Center Arsenal campus. The replacement will take place during a maintenance window on Tuesday 25 September 2020 between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. During this time, you will experience interruptions for up to 10 minutes of TUnet services such as Internet access via the wired network for servers and desktops, as well as WiFi and TUphone. This includes GUT access control systems and surveillance cameras. The communication between desktops and the Arsenal server housing area will also be briefly interrupted. TU.it datacenter services are not affected.

We aim to keep the interruptions as short as possible and thank you for your understanding.

After the upgrade is completed, the Science Center Arsenal campus will be highly available, connected via four 100 gigabit Ethernet links towards the TUnet Core and ready to fulfil future performance and switching capacity demands.

There is no need for configuration changes on your system. If you suspect a problem after our maintenance work has been completed, please check the network settings of your system or contact the IT contact person at your institute first.
