Scheduled Maintenance

NW Regional Core Software Update (6/11) Jun 11, 2025 22:00 - Jun 12, 2025 04:00 EDT

On Wednesday, June 11th, 2025, between 10:00PM and 4:00AM there will be a scheduled switch reload in the Northwest (NW) Regional Core (nwgw1p/s)

This maintenance is necessary due to a known software bug causing memory usage to rise at a critical rate, which could eventually trigger an unexpected system reboot. Performing a scheduled restart will proactively restore memory usage to normal levels and prevent unplanned service disruption.

During the maintenance window, HUIT engineers will reboot the NW regional core devices (nwgw1p/s) to address this issue. As a result, we expect a network service interruption of approximately 25-30 minutes at all downstream locations. Those locations are as follows:

113 Walker Street
160 Concord Ave HCO Space
1705 Mass Ave,Dudley House
