The Data Communications Network is a mission critical strategic University resource. In order to protect the Data Communications Network, devices other than computers, servers, and workstations, must not be plugged into any network port. This includes, but is not limited to hubs, switches, repeaters, routers, network modems and wireless access points. These devices may be incorrectly configured or incompatible with the OSU Network causing outages and reliability problems to all or part of the network.
CIS strives to provide high availability and stable network resources relevant to the OSU community's needs. Colleges or Departments needing additional network resources should contact the CIS Help Desk.
Devices not approved for use on OSU's Data Communication Network will be disabled to ensure the stability and availability of the network.
