Request a Static IP Address

• Department
• Building
• Room number
• Hostname information (what the unit is to be called - this usually is worked out between the requesting party and the NEG)
• Data jack information (jack and port number)
• Mac Address for the unit (if applicable)
• A brief description of the need for a static IP address (software requirements, shared network devices such as printers, servers, special hardware, etc.)

Please contact the ITS Help Desk at 384-HELP (4357) or its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu if you have questions about this process.
