Setting Change to Pullman Border Firewall, 9/30

Update from Sept. 19: During the scheduled maintenance window listed below, ITS is disabling a setting on the Pullman Border firewall and subsequently enabling it on the Pullman Campus/DataCenter firewall due to an architectural change. The settings changes do not take effect until after the firewalls are rebooted.

Both changes will occur within the same timeframe, with no anticipated service disruption or outage for WSU Pullman.

Please see the following scheduled Information Technology Services (ITS) maintenance process:

Date: Monday, Sept. 30, 2024
