Information Technology Specialists and other technical support staff can use the forms
below to request new DNS names, move a named host to another subnet
address, create an alias to an existing name, change a name, and
return names and addresses when they are no longer needed. New hosts
that will use an old name and address need to have the physical
network address or "MAC address" of the new computer associated
with the old name and address.
This service is for the academic network only. See below for information
regarding the residential network, resnet.
Filling out a request form creates an email that is sent to the
technical contact named in the request. The technical contact must
reply to this email. This is an essential part of the process. You
will receive an acknowledgement when your request is completed,
and an estimate of when it will be active. Any of these changes
can be scheduled.
All ucsc.edu names are owned by the University. The Public
Information Office has final responsibility and authority to
reassign names or to block the use of a name that is objectionable.
If you have a question about the service, wish to reach Network
Operations staff, or have a request that does not fit a form in
the list below, then send an email
to ipreq@ucsc.edu with your situation.
Resnet Computers on resnet are given DHCP addresses with a two-week
renewable lease. Your computer will automatically renew its address
lease unless you don't use it. Moving your computer to a different
college will cause an early switch of addresses to match your new
location. Residential computers cannot register for distinctive names
at this time. Computers that cannot use dynamic addresses via DHCP
are not compatible with the resnet services offering. |
