Service interruptions

A CPK is C&CZ’s way of reporting a problem or service interruption. Follow the mailing list or RSS feed, and check the service interruptions page for live status updates.

A CPK is how C&CZ reports a problem or service interruption. We publish one when something goes wrong, when we need to do planned maintenance, or when we want to let you know about something that affects the services we run.

Note

What’s a CPK? CPK is short for the Dutch C&CZ Probleem Kaart — C&CZ problem card. The name is simply how we’ve always done it, and it has stuck with us ever since.

How to follow CPK messages

CPK messages are first sent to the CPK mailing list — you can (un)subscribe there. You can also follow the service interruption messages via RSS.

When a CPK takes longer to resolve, we publish updates on the service interruptions page.

University-wide interruptions

For Radboud University-wide service interruptions, see meldingen.ru.nl.

CPK#1109 RU network problem

CPK#1108 FNWI network problem

The router that regulates all IP traffic between subnets in the Huygens building and surrounding buildings, became too busy. All network traffic, especially UDP had problems. ISC network admins reduced the load by simplifying the ACLs and reducing logging. At about 12:00 the problem was temporarily solved. C&CZ will do a further inspection of all ACLs, with the aim to reduce the load on the router without reducing security for connected systems.

CPK#1106 Disturbance of Vodafone VWO data traffic

On the ISC website we read: Radboud University agreed on a new mobile telephone contract with - again - provider Vodafone. For this purpose, on Wednesday, September 24th during daytime the Radboud subscriptions will be adjusted. Employees with a Vodafone mobile wille have no disturbance in calling or being called that day. But the Vodafone data network might be temporarily unavailable. To restore the data connection it is necessary to turn the mobile phone off and then on again. Of course employees on campus can always use the eduroam Wi-Fi network.

CPK#1107 DNS resolver problem

The server that acts within FNWI as first DNS resolver crashed. This made the network virtually unusable for a lot of computers in FNWI. Only after a reboot of the server, the problem was solved. Measures to reduce the inconvenience of such a crash and to make such a crash less likely, have been partly taken and are partly in preparation.
