Need more network ports? Adding unmanaged network switches will cause problems for your devices. If your office needs additional ports, IT Services will install a managed network switch. To get started, submit a Network Request ticket.

Network Basics

IT Services manages public and private IP addresses and domain name services including the ability to add or change domain names, request vanity DNS for hosted websites, and manage workstations and printers.

Infoblox

Infoblox is the campus DNS and DHCP management system. Access to Infoblox for departmental technicians is provided after completion of a training session offered by IT Services.
Heads up! VPN is required for accessing Infoblox, even when on campus. Learn more about the campus VPN.
