Update: Firewall Migration Successful

Sat. Dec 20, 3:15 pm | Firewall Migration and Testing Complete

Firewall migration was successful and all of the 'critical' services that have been tested are working. Tomorrow, we will conduct our failover testing to verify that if the primary firewall fails, traffic automatically and seamlessly shifts to a standby (secondary) firewall with minimal downtime.

Tufts will upgrade its firewall on Saturday, December 20 at 6 a.m. to enhance security and performance. You can find more details on what to expect in this AccessTufts article.

TTS has informed schools about the firewall upgrade via direct communication, Monday Minute, and our Status Page. Once migration is complete, we'll notify the community through the Status Page (subscribe for real-time alerts and maintenance updates) and an updated AccessTufts bulletin board post.
