Was there ever any word on what the issue was?

The Geography Building was down for more than 3 hours. I was monitoring servicestatus.msu.edu from a computer outside Campus. There was only one very brief notice saying: "Multiple users campus-wide have reported that they are intermittently losing connectivity, both via ethernet and wireless. The issue is currently being monitored, and service owners have been notified."

About the notified part, all this three hours I wondered how I would be notified if I had no network. Does anybody know of a text system that will send notices when events like today's happen?

I was unable to ping any  machines on my server VLAN from the workstation VLAN.I was just walking over to the server room to see if the servers themselves had connectivity, when everything suddenly came back. The whole incident  lasted for 10 minutes or less and everything seems fine now, but it was a bit alarming while it was going on. Anyone have any idea what happened?
