ABB Network Migration

Dear SoE Faculty, Staff, and students in ABB,

The network migration of EII and UTEB has been completed smoothly, so we will move on to ABB beginning next Monday (3/13).

If you have a network printer or a server in ABB and have not yet done so, please complete the Networking Self Report form before then in order to minimize interruption of service.

As a reminder, this will not impact connectivity, and most users will see no change in service. For users with these device types, action may be required:

Statically configured devices – If you self-reported a statically configured device(s), you will be contacted by UITS Network Engineering to set up a DHCP reservation. DHCP is similar to static addresses in the sense that your address will not change; however it will be easier to manage centrally. Once you have a DHCP reservation, you will need to reconfigure your network settings for DHCP.

Network Printers – Printers connected to the SoE network may need to be reconfigured when the IP address changes. If you reported your printer, SoE IT will visit to reconfigure your computer(s) if needed.

Servers – UITS Network Engineering will contact you to schedule a time to cut-over your server onto the new SoE server network. UITS Information Security will follow-up to help configure firewall policies for these devices.
