Network maintenance scheduled for 12:01 a.m. March 25

Posted on by Division of Information

The Division of Information Technology will perform network maintenance on one of the fiber paths into the Manhattan campus from 12:01-6 a.m. on Thursday, March 25. The majority of the Manhattan, Olathe, and Polytechnic campuses will experience a brief outage in internet connectivity as traffic is directed to a secondary path.

The Manufacturing Learning Center, the National Gas Machinery Laboratory, and the Institute for Environmental Research Lab will experience an extended outage of up to three hours during the maintenance window. The maintenance will improve overall fiber plant design and connectivity to these three buildings.

When the fiber work is completed, there will be a second brief outage as internet traffic is re-directed to the primary path. To report issues after the maintenance is completed, submit a ticket via helpdesk@ksu.edu or send an email to network@ksu.edu. Thank you to campus for your patience as we continue improving our infrastructure.
