Client Setup
Activating networking on all major operating systems is straightforward.
Wired
By default wired network connections are set to
DHCP. As a
D-INFK member you can contact
your IT Coordinator or isginf to
configure a
UTP plug in an office and create a DNS and DHCP entry for the device you want to connect to the ETH network.
Get a cable, plug it into the
UTP plug in the wall and the (correct) RJ45 plug in your device and you are done.
Apple Macs may require
additional settings to get wired networking to work smoothly.
Wireless
For devices with wireless networking (WIFI or WLAN) just add a new wireless connection for SSID
eduroam. Alternatively you can also use
one of the other SSIDs depending on how you use the device that you are connecting. When prompted for a login use the following user name and your
IAM network password:
- <your login>@staff-net.ethz.ch if you are a staff member such as professors, assistants, post-docs and technical staff)
- <your login>@student-net.ethz.ch if you are a student
- <your login>@guest-net.ethz.ch if you are a guest
