In the transition from the older 25Gbit switches to newer switches, two blocks of 4 connections were temporarily unavailable due to a peculiarity of the switches where ports are operated in blocks of 4. The removal of an unused cable triggered a disabling of the other ports in the bunch, reseating one of these connections in one case and re-inserting the unused cable fixed the block of ports to start working again....

We have updated the authentication process for login server lilo7 (lilo7.science.ru.nl) as part of a test. As of now, your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on lilo7 is ignored. This change is designed to prevent bad actors from easily gaining persistent access. The good news is that we can now grant access to lilo7 from outside the previously very restricted IP ranges. To gain access from a new IP range, you will need to provide us with your public SSH key and the IP range you will be connecting from....
