  We made some sweeping changes this summer that I’m pleased with so far.  We had all our different kinds of networks 
all in our global routing table and we migrated things into purpose built VRFs (staff, student, environmental, alarm, 
hipaa, etc.).  The Palo Alto firewall routes between VRFs superbly.  We used to use router ACLs extensively to protect 
things and now we just use firewall policy.  It’s serving us well so far.

  It’s also all Extreme Network VSP / VOSS platform so we are using shortest path bridging (read that as fabric or 
software defined ish).  It has been awesome to manage (very easy now that it’s in place).

Subject: [SECURITY] Network Segmentation

Good Afternoon,

We are in the process of developing the next generation of network segmentation for our campuses at the University of 
Nebraska.  I’m looking to better understand how other Universities are implementing network segmentation, role-based 
access control, and what technologies are being using to accomplish those goals.  Please feel free to reach out to me 
directly if you don’t want to respond to the list.

Regards,
Matthew
