Update: Campus-Wide Security Enhancement for Wired Ethernet Ports

The university is in the process of implementing a new network security-related 802.1x improvement to the campus network through the end of the year. In the following months, IT Services will continue to enable 802.1x on all wired Ethernet ports. Individual departments are being contacted in advance of their areas as they are scheduled. 

University-owned Windows computers will not notice this new security feature, as the computer will automatically communicate 802.1x to the campus network. However, upon the scheduled installation of 802.1x in their respective departments, non-Windows machines will need to enable 802.1x and provide login credentials.
