IP Management

Computers on the university network can be registered in IP Management and receive an automatic IP address through DHCP. IP Management is IST's recommended method of IP admistration on the university network. Each department or faculty is issued a block of addresses which the Lan Coordinator can administrate using the IP Management System.

Getting access

In order to get access you will need a Sybase account. You can be issued a Sybase account by emailing sybase@cc.umanitoba.ca and including your UMnetID. Once you have received your Sybase account you will need to be assigned to your section in IP Management. Contact ipmanagement@umanitoba.ca and include the department and faculty you require access for.
