[4eyes] FW: registering computers in HFH 5110

[Matthew Turk]

For everyone who wants network access in HFH 5110 (our new 5th floor lab space), please read the email below from Marc Miller (IT support) and follow his instructions for emailing help at engineering with the requested information.

Dear All,

Just as a friendly reminder, all computers on the wired network need to be registered if they will be on the network for a considerable amount of time.

While there is a small guest pool, this is a limited resource and IP addresses are provided on a first come first serve basis. If you are in the guest pool, ECI does not guarantee you will get the same IP address each time nor do we guarantee access if the pool is full.

If you would like to register your computer and thus get an assigned stable IP address, please email help at engineering.ucsb.edu with the following:

1) Your contact information including your email
2) Your exact location, i.e. HFH 5110 port: 5.1-5122-04# D#
3) Your hardware MAC address that we will be using to assign IP
4) What type of computer you are using and its OS, i.e Windows 10 Desktop, or Ubuntu 16.04 laptop, etc...
5) If you are not listed at https://ilab.cs.ucsb.edu/people please also cc your PI as all computers need a faculty or staff sponsor.

While it is not a requirement, you might also want to include a desired assigned name(s). If no name is specified a random name fitting your labs' naming scheme will be picked.

Please also be aware that while you are on a monitored network that will detect major misuse and block the worst threats, you are not behind a NAT'ed firewall, meaning people can and will scan your computer and try to break in. The UC requires all computers to have strong passwords, active firewalls and be on an OS that is still getting security updates. 
To see all UC requirements for networked devices, please refer to https://security.ucop.edu/policies/security-controls-everyone-all-devices.html

Please also be aware the unsecure devices are not allowed on the network, ECI and NOC (Network Operation Center) do regular scans and will remove problematic devices such as but not limited to computers that are running unsupported OS, unsecure wifi routers, and all other rouge devices that do not meet the UC minimum requirements for cyber-security.

Best Regards
