Gilbert Street Building Networking

Introduction

This page have information related to networking in the Gilbert Street building. Specifically information about transitioning your equipment from Knowledgeworks to Gilbert. Due to rarity of IPv4 address space at Virginia Tech, the networking in Gilbert (as with any new building at VT) will be slightly different from our traditional networking. How you configure the networking for you machine will depend on how it will be used:

  • (Private) - No remote access from outside VT to the machine is needed. This will be the simplest to set up.
  • (Internal) - Remote access to the machine is desired, but only needed by Virginia Tech affiliates.
  • (External) - Remote access to the machine is desired, and access from non-VT persons is needed.

Private

This configuration is likely best for office desktop machines, and wired laptop connections.

  • You can simply set your network configuration to DHCP and the connection will be automatically configured for Internet access.
  • Remote access is achievable by directly connecting the automatically configure IPv6 address
