Firmware update for high-precision synchronization

Partial Maintenance
Friday 10/31/2025 12:15 PM - Friday 10/31/2025 02:00 PM

A firmware update for the high-precision synchronization (HPS) module is being carried out on the RWTH time servers. Provided that all time servers mentioned in https://help.itc.rwth-aachen.de/service/uvjppv3cuan8/ are configured as described there, there will be no disruption.

ein Zeitserver gestört

Partial Outage
Wednesday 10/01/2025 11:05 AM - Wednesday 10/01/2025 04:00 PM

All three time servers were updated to the latest version. In addition, an update of the receiver was initiated at ntp1.rwth-aachen.de, but this was unsuccessful due to incompatibility between the software image and the module update (according to the manufacturer). It is precisely this server that is now experiencing a disruption to the time service. As we offer three time servers, the service is not affected if configured accordingly.

The problem has been solved and the status changed from Stratum 12 to the regular Stratum 1.

Routing über neue XWiN-Router

Maintenance
Tuesday 06/10/2025 09:00 PM - Tuesday 06/10/2025 10:13 PM

During this period, the routing of the previous XWiN routers (Nexus 7700) will be switched to the new XWiN routers (Catalyst 9600). These routers are essential for RWTH's network connection. This changeover also requires the migration of the DFN connection, which is switched redundantly to Frankfurt and Hannover, and the RWTH firewall to the new systems.
There will be complete or partial outages of the external connection during the maintenance window. All RWTH services (e.g. VPN, email, RWTHonline, RWTHmoodle) will not be available during this period. The accessibility of services within the RWTH network will be temporarily unavailable due to limited DNS functionality.

Hosts of RWTH Aachen University partly not accessible from networks of other providers

Partial Outage
Saturday 08/24/2024 08:15 PM - Sunday 08/25/2024 09:00 PM

Due to DNS disruption, the name servers of various providers are currently not returning an IP address for hosts under *.rwth-aachen.de.
As a workaround, you can store alternative DNS servers in your connection settings, e.g. the Level3-Nameserver (4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1) or Comodo (8.26.56.26 und 8.20.247.20). It may also be possible to reach the RWTH VPN server, in which case please use VPN.

Updates

Instructions for configuring an alternative DNS server under Windows can be found via the following links:

https:
www.netzwelt.de/galerie/25894-dns-einstellungen-windows-10-11-aendern.html
You can also use VPN as an alternative. If you cannot reach the VPN server, you can adjust the host file under Windows according to the following instructions. This will allow you to reach the server vpn.rwth-aachen.de. To do this, the following entry must be added:
134.130.5.231 vpn.rwth-aachen.de
https:

The hosts of RWTH Aachen University can now be reached again from outside the RWTH network.

Individual users may have experienced problems even after the fault was rectified on 25 August at 9 pm. On 26.8. at 9 a.m. all follow-up work was completed, so there should be no further problems.
