Re: Student Side Ports

[Russ Leathe <Russ.Leathe () GORDON EDU>]

We maintain a parallel network tagged to all our resident halls.  When a student requests a 'gaming port' we tag the 
individual port and secure it with a mac rule.
It's a flood of support the beginning of the year but the students like it and doesn't impact our production network.

We do the same thing on our wireless network.

Subject: [SECURITY] Student Side Ports

Now that our bandwidth has increased more users are jumping back on our network.  As a result I am getting a lot of 
requests to open ports for online gaming.
What is your policy on opening ports on the student side for gaming or other applications?
