MCS Network Outage to continue

March 29, 2022 by Stacey, Craig

The unexpected power issue that caused this outage has caused a failure in a critical component of the MCS router. We’re currently working with CIS on getting this back online, either with a replacement supervisor card, or an ad-hoc temporary solution until a replacement can be installed. We’re currently estimating another couple of hours of downtime.
This outage is affecting all wired hosts on MCS networks, including most servers with a .mcs.anl.gov address.
Hosts on wifi can talk to other Argonne and external hosts. If your machine is wifi capable, that is the recommended workaround for now.

Things are slowly coming back. If you can use wifi instead of wireless, you should be able to connect to net.
