Last Thursday evening, one of our firewalls failed to pass internet traffic. We have a second one which should have taken over the traffic handling when the primary failed, but that also failed, resulting in network outage. Fortinet, the firewall vendor, has determined that this is the result of a bug.
We will be performing some changes to address the issues in coordination with Fortinet on Saturday between 11 AM and 1 PM. There may be a brief service interruption while we complete the work, which will result in the loss of network connectivity on campus.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
