This situation is the result of the use of unauthorized routers and switches being used to allow labs to be placed on the network without the assistance (or billing) of NTS. Billing issues aside,
Is there an official campus policy on the use of "unauthorized routers"? I'm aware that unauthorized *wireless* routers are verboten in the dorms. [1] Furthermore, the entire campus community has been asked to refrain from using them. [2] But what about non-wireless routers? It's pretty common to see, say, Linksys routers used in various labs and departments. Are they not to be used? If so, is this documented somewhere? Or is it more of an informally frowned-upon practice and an issue OIT would rather not force right now?
