BCOE Systems

To control network device sprawl and improve network security, BCOE has the following network connection requirements for all devices (ie: computers, printers, cameras…etc) connected to the BCOE network. When requesting that a device be connected to the BCOE network, the party responsible for the device agrees to the following:

• Device will kept updated with security fixes and patches
• Device will be maintained on a reasonable schedule
• Device will use dhcp to obtain an ip
• Device will respond to icmp echo requests
  » (ping) from 169.235.16.0/24 and/or 2607:f290:f:416:: /64
• Device requiring access from outside BCOE’s network will be placed in a security sandbox which will not allow outgoing connections to BCOE resources;
  » Device will be kept secure
• Device ip address may be changed to support network upgrades or changes (this would not affect device DNS name)
• Device name must be unique within the domain and approved
• Devices that have not been active on the network for 6 months may removed
  » Device that has been removed may lose their DNS name reservation
• Devices designed to split or multiply ports are not allowed
• Wireless access points or devices are not allowed, per UCR policy
• Devices that fail to meet the above requirements may be removed from the network without notice
• Exceptions to this policy can be granted on a case-by-case bases by the network team and/or your department.
