Network Administration for IT Staff

Network monitoring is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to hosts on a subscription basis. Upon an alarming event, we will notify IT Support Staff by mode of choice and alert them of an availability problem. Service allows for time of day variance.

We offer a variety of reporting and troubleshooting tools to all members of the UBIT community.

Network Attached Peripherals (NAP) Private VLANs provide a layer of additional protection for network attached peripherals including printers, electronic billboards, monitoring devices, door controllers and cameras against “network attacks” from non-UB networks and from UB ResNet, UB OpenPort and UB Wi-Fi networks. (Access to NAP VLAN's is allowed from eduroam Wi-Fi, but not from other Wi-Fi SSID's.)
