When additional devices areconnected to the network without theappropriate security, we open thenetwork up to infiltration.8 Wireless routers and Hubs run DHCPthat interferes with the management ofthe network and creates situationswhere students connect from anotherlocation but cannot use the internet becauseof a faulty IP range.8 These devices create unmanaged trafficon the network, especially whenused to connect internal gaming networks.This has had the effect in thepast of shutting down outbound trafficand consuming huge amounts of thenetwork’s capacity, essentially keepingother students from using it.decorationsAt the student’s own risk of incurringproperty damage charges, posters,pictures, plaques, curtains, etc. may beplaced on residence hall walls secured byposter putty and tacks.
