DNS/IP Address

DNS or IP Request

The Office of Information Technology provides central server space and IT services. You may find that services already exist that will meet your needs without spending resources to purchase a department server. This form is to be used when requesting an IP address for a server only. Ordinary desktop computers do not need to request IP addresses.  Desktops receive IP addresses automatically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
