Network Status: OK 08/28/2008 11:16:20 PM

The Network Status bar that appears at the top of most ComTech Network Operations (NOC) pages is a live interactive monitor of the current status of the campus data network backbone, ncstate.net. The monitor can signal three different values:

This indicates that there are no backbone network problems. There may be more problems internal to a building that are not reflected, however. Internet sluggishness is out of our control, although we try to keep our clients informed of possible internet outages.

This indicates that building connection has dropped. Most often this is due to hardware failure in the building or a power outage.

This indicates that the monitor cannot reach a backbone router. (Don't be alarmed should this show up. If a router gets too busy, it may not respond to the monitor's "ping" request. Staff will investigate.)
