| ~16:40 | 17:58 | AnyConnect VPN Service | An issue with SSL on the VPN service has caused an issue that has disconnected all users. Network engineering is looking into the issue. Due to a hardware failure and the VPN not failing over properly to the standby users were unable to connect to the VPN.

| 2021-02-11 00:00 | 2021-02-11 04:00 | ICCP - MWT2 | “OmniPoP is doing maintenance for their hardware refresh on February 11 (600 W Chicago) between midnight and 4 a.m.CST. This will mean that the CARNE 100G OmniPoP connection will go down for a time during the Feb 11 window. Most of the traffic that would take this link will reroute to using other links. The only ICCP user that may be impacted is MWT2 because their primary path to UChicago is over this circuit. However, we do have a backup UChicago peering over the CARNE Internet2 100G circuit, so that path will be taken assuming that UChicago's backup path doesn't go through the 6WC OmniPoP switch. The tertiary path to UChicago would be through the ESnet LHCONE peering which goes over the CARNE I2 AL2S 100G. MWT2 shouldn’t need to do anything on their side to prepare for this work.” | All traffic should reroute during this maintenance, but MWT2 may experience brief connectivity issues to UChicago | neteng@ncsa.illinois.edu | COMPLETE |
