Fixed this week:
- Working with ITS we have solved the issue where some Eduroam devices
can't communicate with 250-net. The issue was caused by a dangling VLAN
interface in the FCMS-vdom inside the Fortinet firewall that was
blackholing access to our network from some UoW subnets.
Security updates:
- Rolled out openssl patch roll up to various machines to fix DROWN etc.
- Rolled out new rabbitmq to AMP fleet to patch CVE-2015-8786.
- Rolled latest drupal patches.
Business as usual:
-
Tested Debian upgrade path on warlock on a filesystem snapshot. Still
have a bunch of work to go on wand website to make it work on newer
versions of PHP provided by newer Debian. -
Met new honours students, spent time discussing direction of their
projects. -
Released new version of Bearwall with official systemd support which
means it now works with new ubuntu that will be running on new wand
desktops. Spent some time writing firewall rules to work with docker. -
Started conversation with new switch vendor to buy a new multitable
openflow switch. They seem positive to be working with us. -
In process of working with another vendor to fix CPU load issues we
are having with their product. -
Looked after both Jamie and Perry this week who were in town visiting.
