Re: Gaming Devices on the Network

["Gillette, Jonathan" <jgillette () SYTECPA ORG>]

The college I graduated from just recently implanted Cisco Clean access
also. On their website,
http://www.kutztown.edu/admin/harlo/resnet/netinfo_gaming.shtml they
have instructions for the students on what to do.

 

Thanks,


Jonathan

Subject: [SECURITY] Gaming Devices on the Network

 

Now that we have implemented Cisco Clean Access in our residence halls,
we are receiving many questions/complaints from both students as well as
Residence Life staff about our policy on gaming devices such as
PlayStation 2 and X-Box consoles.  Unless these devices have a built-in
web browser, or the user has a router and authenticates another device
behind that router, they will not be able to play Internet games on
these devices.  We are looking for what other universities are doing in
regard to this.  We would like to address this issue in our Network Use
policy.

 

Thanks in advance!
