Tuesday, June 15, 2004, 3:00 - 6:00am

OIT network engineers performed maintenance on the primary and backup

Outage on June 15, 2004:

The State of Ohio's OC48 primary Internet connection, at the State of
Ohio Computer Center, went down on June 15, 2004 at 11:54 local time due
to a Time Warner Telecom configuration error.  Our Internet traffic was
re-routed to our backup OC12 located at the Rhodes State Office Tower.
There was no disruption to our Internet service.  At 7:45 local time, on
June 16, 2004, Time Warner Telecom resolved their issue and our primary
connection was restored.  =20

provide a TCP/IP only ohio.gov backbone.  Our goal is to remove all
Non-TCP/IP protocols (DECnet, SNA, IPX, Appletalk, etc.).  OIT network
engineers will be contacting agencies, boards and commissions, in the
near future, that are still using Non-TCP/IP protocols, to work with
them on determining an alternate solution.
