User Installed Network Equipment Policy

Approval from Network Services must be obtained before any network equipment (including wireless devices, hubs, bridges, switches, or routers) is hooked up to the network. If you need such a device, check with NSCS via email to Director_NTS@sonoma.edu. Commonly used workstations do not need approval from Network Services, provided that they do not function as network equipment.

Sonoma State University maintains a campus-wide data network designed to encompass computers in all campus departments and to support communications among them. The Network Services department is responsible for the installation and operation of that network and for the campus connections to regional and national networks via the Internet.
