Re: TicketMaster & Network Access

[David Seidl <dseidl () ND EDU>]

Frank,

We've dealt with similar needs by creating vendor specific VLANs in our
non-routable campus IP space. We typically treat them as an un-trusted
network, but allow our management tools in to ensure that the systems there
receive updates and can be monitored. You can easily adjust that balance
with some simple firewall rule changes based on your preferred risk profile.
