Network Infrastructure Upgrades - FY 2025 - 2026
Multiple major network infrastructure projects will be underway during fiscal year 2025 - 2026. These initiatives all work towards continued improvement of 51做厙's network to further support business processes, research, and learning.
The projects and schedules outlined are subject to change due to equipment and scheduling availability.
Wireless Access Point Refresh
What to expect: Slower Wi-Fi connections or brief disconnects during maintenance window.
The networking team is partnering with our vendor to replace the wireless APs across campus. Upgrading the AP devices will help with traffic and security for connecting to WIFI on campus.

Layer 3 Implementation
What to expect: Reconfiguring printers with new IP addresses, brief outage of card readers, restarting computers to obtain new IP address during the maintenance window. Schedule to be determined.
OIT has implemented private IP addresses in new campus buildings for several years. Private IP addressing provides enhanced security and protection of our campus computers. This project will focus on the conversion the remaining buildings on campus from public IP addresses to private IP addresses.
