Phase Two of New Campus DNS Server Rollout, March 15
IT Services will roll out phase two of the new campus DNS servers from 10 to 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 15. During phase two, the Network Engineering Team will migrate UARK 2G and 5G Wi-Fi networks across campus, as well as wired connections in the Administrative Services Building, to the new DNS servers.
Following the rollout, most students, faculty and staff will notice no change to the way they connect their devices to the campus network.
By July 1, advanced users who do not use DHCP to get IP addresses will be required to manually change their primary and secondary DNS servers. The preferred campus DNS servers are available at https://techarticles.uark.edu/network/dns_servers.
The rollout of new campus DNS servers provides the campus network with high performance hardware, increases redundancy, protects against potential outages and improves network security.
