Network Services

Wireless Network Service (AirBears)

AirBears provides wireless network service at various campus locations. Connect to the campus network from any computer equipped with a wireless card using IEEE standard 802.11b technology. A CalNet ID is required to use the service. Guest accounts are also available.

DHCP & Dynamic DNS Service

The campus DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service automates the process of configuring devices for operation on the campus wired network by providing dynamic assignment of IP addresses and other network parameters.

The dynamic DNS service works with the campus DHP service so that the hostname assigned to a device using DHCP is updated in real time so that it refers to the dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the device.

Firewalls

Campus departments can purchase firewall service from IST. IST provides Cisco Systems' integrated Firewall Service Module (FWSM).

Network Infrastructure

Infrastructure for networking, telecom, and wireless.

Remote Access VPN Service

Allows CalNet ID–authenticated users to connect to the UC Berkeley network from outside of campus, as if they were on campus, and encrypts the information sent to the network.

Attention Sports Broadcasting Customers: Additional fees and surcharges apply for off-campus/external customers. Please see this important billing information.
