Description: Emergency Software upgrade for DNS/DHCP/IPAM EfficientIP Appliances
Service: VCU Network DNS and DHCP
Disruptive/Non-Disruptive: Disruptive (**)

Network Services will perform software updates on the EfficientIP DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) deployment to remediate critical vulnerabilities. These appliances provide DNS and DHCP services for the entire University network.

* No service impact is expected. DNS and DHCP services are deployed redundantly, and appliances will be upgraded sequentially so that at least one node remains in service at all times. This would be true for clients that are using the DHCP and DNS services as well.
