Networking/Computing Policies

The Network Policy Committee, IT Roundtable and the vice president for ISC wish to call your attention to two recently approved revisions to existing networking/computing policies. Both policies were originally approved and published in May of 2000.

The first of these involves policy and recommendations around the operation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on PennNet.

The second specifies requirements and constraints for attaching and securing a critical computer to PennNet.

The full policy text can be found online at the following URLs:
