Network Addresses

Network addresses are assigned to Professors & Staff, not to room ports or computers.

Static network addresses will work in any port in the assigned building, but not in different buildings. Computers registered for DHCP will get a random address in most (if not all) buildings on campus.

Contact support@ece.vt.edu to request network address assignments. Please include the required information (see below).

Static

Static addresses allow you to connect directly to the computer. This is useful if you are running a server or need remote access to the computer.

Required Information
