Does anyone know what this entails? What is being upgraded, and is this saying that SSH is effected? Thanks... --STeve Andre' -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Perimeter Security Update Occurring Tomorrow, December 20 Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2016 23:03:49 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] MSU IT will be performing upgrades to increase perimeter security for the MSU network tomorrow, December 20, at 6:00 a.m. *What does this mean for me?* Users requiring off-campus access to services affected by the upgrade will need to connect to the MSU network via our virtual private network (MSU VPN). Please note, most web-based services (e.g., websites, email) will not be impacted by this change. *What do I need to do?* Use the MSU VPN to access the MSU network from off campus beginning December 20 and advise others to do the same. If these updates cause business disruptions, please submit a firewall request at http://go.msu.edu/uss-firewall detailing the service, how the service is used, the IP addresses affected, and the ports required for access. In the coming months, MSU VPN will be adding two-factor authentication to the MSU VPN login process. *Additional information* MSU VPN: https://vpn.msu.edu MSU VPN Instructions:http://go.msu.edu/it-400645 <https://go.msu.edu/it-400645> Two-Factor Authentication: https://secureit.msu.edu/two-factor/index.html If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the MSU IT Service Desk at (517) 432-6200 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
