Time-Server

Currently, two of the three time servers are unavailable, but we are working on resolving the issue.
Provided that all three NTP servers (see: https://help.itc.rwth-aachen.de/service/uvjppv3cuan8/article/c0f898572e8b443f80af7f8e3f9f9b3a/ ) or the RWTH NTP pool has been entered in the respective configuration, local use is not affected.

ntp1.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) unreachable
ntp1.rwth-aachen.de (IPv6) unreachable
ntp2.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) ok
ntp2.rwth-aachen.de (IPv6) ok
ntp3.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) unreachable
ntp3.rwth-aachen.de (IPv6) unreachable

Problem has been fixed

ntp1.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) ok
ntp1.rwth-aachen.de (IPv6) ok
ntp2.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) ok
ntp2.rwth-aachen.de (IPv6) ok
ntp3.rwth-aachen.de (IPv4) ok

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.

A firmware update for the high-precision synchronization (HPS) module is being carried out on the RWTH time servers. Provided that all time servers mentioned in https://help.itc.rwth-aachen.de/service/uvjppv3cuan8/ are configured as described there, there will be no disruption.
