Due to the replacement of central switches in the data center at the Seffenter Weg and Wendlingweg locations, there may be brief outages of the services operated in the data center between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., or 10 p.m. at the latest.

As a result, authentication for Wi-Fi and VPN will also be temporarily unavailable, meaning that logging into Wi-Fi (eduroam, RWTH institutes, RWTH devices) and all VPN areas may be temporarily disrupted.

The maintenance will also affect various IT Center services, which may also experience brief outages. This message has been extended to the affected services.

Problems may currently arise when creating new DataStorage.nrw resources in Coscine. When creating a DataStorage.nrw resource, either the University of Cologne/University of Paderborn or the RWTH/University of Duisburg-Essen locations are randomly selected in the background for the creation of the storage bucket. The problem occurs for buckets at the University of Cologne / University of Paderborn. If you encounter this error, please try again to create a resource, as the selection of the location pair for resource creation is random.

During this period, the routing of the previous XWiN routers (Nexus 7700) will be switched to the new XWiN routers (Catalyst 9600). These routers are essential for RWTH's network connection. This changeover also requires the migration of the DFN connection, which is switched redundantly to Frankfurt and Hannover, and the RWTH firewall to the new systems.
There will be complete or partial outages of the external connection during the maintenance window. All RWTH services (e.g. VPN, email, RWTHonline, RWTHmoodle) will not be available during this period. The accessibility of services within the RWTH network will be temporarily unavailable due to limited DNS functionality.

If there is no link, it is therefore not possible to access projects that have already been created via the Shibboleth account. In case of urgent need, please contact the ServiceDesk (servicedesk@rwth-aachen.de). We are working on a solution.

Due to DNS disruption, the name servers of various providers are currently not returning an IP address for hosts under *.rwth-aachen.de.
As a workaround, you can store alternative DNS servers in your connection settings, e.g. the Level3-Nameserver (4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1) or Comodo (8.26.56.26 und 8.20.247.20). It may also be possible to reach the RWTH VPN server, in which case please use VPN.

Instructions for configuring an alternative DNS server under Windows can be found via the following links:
https:
www.ionos.de/digitalguide/server/konfiguration/windows-11-dns-aendern/
https:
www.netzwelt.de/galerie/25894-dns-einstellungen-windows-10-11-aendern.html
You can also use VPN as an alternative. If you cannot reach the VPN server, you can adjust the host file under Windows according to the following instructions. This will allow you to reach the server vpn.rwth-aachen.de. To do this, the following entry must be added:
134.130.5.231 vpn.rwth-aachen.de

Further information can be found on IT Center Help [2] and the IT Center Blog [3].
