The firewalls which route most main campus wired networks are being upgraded to apply a patch. This will involve two manual failovers between the active and passive nodes of the firewall pair in question. These failovers may cause a single-packet "blip" of the network. The most significant expected outcome is that some users may need to refresh their browser if they happened to be loading a page at the moment of that blip. This change will NOT affect School of Medicine networks, wireless networks, servers and services hosted in campus data centers, cloud resources, or users and devices at RENCI.
