Computer Centre provides computational facilities to all users in the Institute. All Registered students, staff and faculty from all Departments, Sections,Centres in the campus can obtain accounts from CC. CC provides electronic mail, world wide web, DNS, FTP and other services.
Computer Centre (CC) is responsible for the core NIT Hamirpur network (includes Internet/intranet facilities: email, web etc).
CC will provide connectivity to each Department, to the gigabit backbone, and also the necessary IP addresses, proxies, email relays etc.
The operation of the network within each Department is the sole responsibility of the Department (Head & OIC Departmental computer LAB) CC will only play an advisory role.
If a Department network misbehaves and causes problems for any other department or the entire campus, or disrupts services, CC will notify same to the concerned Head and disconnect the Department from the core network until the problem is fixed satisfactorily.
To minimize the problem of disconnection, Departments will separate their network into 2 sub-networks (one for Windows and one for Linux/Unix). This will allow CC to turn off only the offending subnet in case of virus/worm attacks.
Use of pirated/illegal software is not acceptable. It is the responsibility of the Departments (Heads) to ensure compliance.
