Yes. It started with student housing and is moving to the faculty staff
side. A person is tied to every MAC address attached to any network we
manage. Exceptions are research units that have their own network
management staff.

Security Folks:


Cornell would like to know if any of you require by University
policy or
protocol or practice
that all devices connected to your data network be registered. For
example, a mandatory record in a database of the MAC addresses and
custodians or responsible parties or users for all devices connected
to
your wired or wireless
infrastructure.

If the answer to the above is yes -

Is this registry accomplished by a single central database, or a
"registry of
registries" - i.e. many registries, managed at the subnet /
department
level, with the data in each available to the central computing /
administration / security "authority."

Many thanks

Tracy
