Certain network devices, if not deployed and configured correctly, can cause service interruptions and make network problems difficult or impossible to isolate and identify. In addition, if not properly secured, these devices can give unauthorized users access to the university network. The installation of these devices must therefore be managed and coordinated.

University Information Technology Services and regional campus counterparts are responsible for the university's data, video, and voice communications network. This includes designing, deploying, documenting, monitoring, maintaining, supporting, and troubleshooting the physical data, video, and voice networks of the university, as well as the management of the Internet Protocol (IP) address spaces assigned to Indiana University (including public and private addresses).

This policy applies to all users of Indiana University information technology resources regardless of affiliation, and irrespective of whether those resources are accessed from on-campus or off-campus locations.
