In preparation for campus network capacity upgrades, ITS will be separating a number of firewall network segments from the WSEC distribution node and reserve them internally for the Data Center distribution.  This change will be occurring Sunday, July 13 from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M.  The resources in these network segments will experience a brief (5-15 minutes) network outage while the change is being made.
