Shortly after 3pm PDT on 13 October 2009, the main building network router in Engineering 2 went offline with a catastrophic failure of its supervisor card, bringing the router and all network traffic to Engineering 2 offline, also affecting some instructional lab computers using network services located in E2.

The campus OIT has lent us a spare card which we were able to install to bring the networking back online. The card is functioning properly, and network services provided by the router were restored around 6:30pm PDT.

The failed card is under service contract from Cisco and a replacement card has been delivered; a brief downtime will be scheduled in the near future for the installation of the replacement card.
