DATA NETWORK POLICIES
Network Clients are not allowed to add, modify, reconfigure or extend any component of the University Network, including, but not limited to:
- switches
- routers
- hubs
- wireless access points
- domain name servers (with the exception of caching DNS servers)
- DHCP servers
- firewalls.
Clients are required to pay network access charges for each node requested per month. Sharing of service is strictly prohibited. Ie, only one client device may be connected to any single port provided by NI.
All devices connected to the LSU network are required to be continuously updated with the latest system and anti-virus updates. Should a device begin to cause problems on the LSU network due to a threat and/or vulnerability, ITS will attempt to contact the system administrator to remove the device from the network. However, if contact cannot be made in a timely manner, the port connecting the device to the network will be deactivated until it is determined the device has been cleaned. In order to protect University data and systems, as well as protect threatened systems external to the University, the IT Security and Policy Office may place limits or restrictions on technology services provided on or from any computing resources, and may unilaterally direct that a specific computing resource be isolated from University, campus or external networks.
Please consult LSU System Permanent Memoranda 36.
Also consult:
Network users, including University departments are not allowed to install, remove, reroute or otherwise modify network cabling without the express permission of Information Technology Services in conjunction with the Office of Facility Services. For additional information, please refer to PS-84 – Custody of Facilities and Premises.
Ownership and control of IP networks and addresses resides with ITS-Networking and Infrastructure. Use of Private addresses (RFC 1918) is also controlled by NI and routed within the LSU IGP (inter-gateway protocol). Unauthorized use of private addresses by any LSU department without the express consent of NI is forbidden. Final decision on any rules pertaining to IP addresses, DNS or DHCP is the responsibility of NI.
