Some of the CITES network-related guidelines and procedures appear below. More will be added as time allows.

Approval of network equipment

In the Interim Policy on Appropriate Use of Computers and Network Systems at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, CITES is charged with approving network equipment before it is connected to UIUCnet.

• Clarification of Section 8 wording about LAN Equipment

Network naming conventions

Special conventions are used to assign network names and addresses on specialized subnetworks which will not conflict with conventions on the primary (TCP/IP) network. These documents include:

• Guidelines for the use of private IP space (RFC 1918 space) at UIUC

Applying for design work

CITES handles many network design-related issues for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus community, including:

• A full design or redesign with wiring upgrade
• Placing groups of computers in different campus firewall protection groups
• Requirements for approval of a department-run firewall
• Wireless networking
