Register A MAC Address
From Itwiki
MAC (or physical) Addresses must be registered for use on the Stevens Network. The only exception is the 802.1x networks which use a special authentication method.
For Students
- Undergraduate students may register up to 4 MAC/Physical addresses. Two MAC addresses will be wired only and the other two are wireless. In either case, machines accessing the Stevens network will be expected to DHCP.
- A student who wishes to register a MAC address must log into Web For Students and under the Student Records menu, select Student MAC addresses.
NOTE: Undergraduate students will not be able to modify the entries for their Stevens-issued laptop.
For Faculty and Staff
All other MAC addresses must be registered by submitting a Help Desk ticket. You can either create one yourself at helpdesk.stevens.edu or send the information to helpdesk@stevens.edu. Required information for all MAC registrations:
- Name of primary user of the machine
- Username of primary user of the machine (if email address is different, please list)
- Location (building and room) where the machine will be primarily used (example: Kidde 228)
- Wired or Wireless - which sort of network connection is this MAC for
- Make and Model of machine (if you built it yourself, just list custom) (example: Compaq 8510w)
- Phone number (preferably a Stevens extension) to contact primary user of this machine
- Operating System (example: Windows XP, Mac OSX)
