WirelessLAN (eduroam, RWTH-guests)

Unfortunately, there are frequent problems with the use of eduroam within the University Hospital Aachen (UKA).
If you are unable to establish a connection to eduroam within the UKA, but are able to do so in the RWTH Aachen University buildings, then these problems are most likely caused by the UKA's WLAN infrastructure. The UKA operates the WLAN infrastructure independently. The RWTH IT Center has no insight or influence here.
UKA IT is informed about these problems and is working on a solution.

The UKA IT department is still working on a solution to the problem. The RWTH IT Center has no influence on this process and cannot speed it up.

Zwei der zentralen WLAN Controller, die rund 50% der WLAN Infrastruktur versorgen, haben aus unbekannter Ursache einen Neustart durchgeführt. Nachgelagert ist daher das WLAN an rund 2400 Accesspoints ausgefallen. In der Regel betrifft dies immer gesamte Gebäude.
~15 Minuten später funktionieren bereits wieder 1400 Accesspoints
die verbleibenden 1000 Standorte aktualisieren noch ihre Firmware und benötigen leider länger.

ermittelte Startzeit der Störung angepasst: 12:46 (anstatt 12:50)

Störung beendet. - Normalbetrieb

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.
