Millennium JAR ErrorRecommendations Coming: work on bringing the affected library's network infrastructure up to standards compliance and follow best practices.
Updating library-managed switch and firewall firmware Ensuring DNS, DHCP, routing, vLANs, other network services are
configured for better compliance with standards and best practices Ensuring point-to-point connections are not generating excessive
CRC errors Reduce network broadcast packet traffic, where possible Updating local computer hardware drivers For affected computers, replacing patch cables of unknown quality
that are in the cable path from the computer to the firewall For affected computers, replacing unmanaged 'consumer-grade'
switches of unknown quality that are in the cable path from the computer to the firewall
