ISG News has posted a new item, 'Network upgrade at D-PHYS'
In collaboration with our colleagues in Informatikdienste we will use the
upcoming months to upgrade the D-PHYS network in order to make it ready for the
future. In particular, we will enable the IEEE 802.1x protocol in our network
that will allow us to virtually patch any VLAN to each individual client. This
will also pave the way for the upcoming VoIP telephony deployment in D-PHYS. The
migration will be a step-by-step process and we will visit each building and
floor individually to address potential questions during the migration. The
typical desktop or laptop computer will not notice the change except for a short
interruption of < 1 min. Certain macOS clients will need a bit of persuasion
however, the required steps are described here.
Things will look a bit different for new clients that connect to the D-PHYS
network for the first time only after the migration: they will not display the
well-known ISG D-PHYS landing page, but an OS popup or a generic ETH page. This
works the same way as the ETH wifi. You either supply your n.ethz credentials in
the popup or you log in via the landing page. Your machine will then be patched
into the ETH docking network. If you have a specific reason to have your machine
in the D-PHYS network (HPx::745 for the technically inclined), please let us
know and we will register your MAC address in our database - just like you did
in the past. All existing machines at D-PHYS have been preregistered for
HPx::745 in order to avoid any confusion.
So please be ready when Alex shows up in your group and announces the migration
date.
