How to plug a new network device?

Before plugging it to the network

1. Make sure it does not serve any DHCP leases. If you're not sure about what this means ask the net-admin closest to you.

2. Set up manually an IP address for the device. You should look on suk:/etc/hosts for an available address coherent with the already assigned addresses.

3. Set up the proper gateway: 172.31.16.4

4. Set up the proper netmask: 255.255.240.0

Plugging it to the network

1. Insert smoothly the cable in the designated ethernet port until you hear a confirmation sound.

After plugging it to the network

1. Update the Network Map repo.

2. Document the new address-device pair in suk:/etc/hosts.

3. Describe the device on this wiki.
