Network

The network of ETH Zurich, both WLAN and wired network, are provided and maintained by IT Services of ETH Zurich (ITS).

Wireless LAN

The VPN service of your nethz user account grants you access to the wireless LAN of ETH Zurich.

The simplest way to connect to the WLAN of ETH Zurich is to connect to the SSID public and either use the landing page or VPN as described above.

Landing Page

The landing page is automatically shown in the web browser when connecting to a public network and accessing an external website without authenticating.

Enter your nethz login and VPN service password to authenticate and your network connection is ready to use.

If you need the connection for something other then browsing the web (e.g. ssh connection, access to file services) you still need to open a browser to go to the landing page and authenticate to get a working connection.

VPN

The use of VPN is recommended when connecting from an insecure place (WLAN, public docking, home network, internet, public WLAN acess point, etc.).

VPN client software for many operating systems that is already configured for ETH Zurich can be downloaded from here (authentication with nethz login and password required).

Hot Spots / WiFi off-campus

Information about

can be found under Hot Spots / WiFi off-campus.

Public Docking

Network plugs marked NETNG Docking with an RJ45 cable already plugged in can be found in various seminar rooms.

To connect to these configure the network adapter in your computer to DHCP. To complete the connection you either have to use the landing page or VPN as described above.

Wired Network in Offices

The UTP plugs in each office are both used for phones and network. Contact your IT Coordinator (ITC) to configure the UTP plugs in your office.

DNS and DHCP Configuration

To connect a device to the network of your group it must obtain a fixed IP in the ETH DNS and is registered on the DHCP server. Contact your ITC if you need to register a new device.

Firewall

All networks of the D-INFK are behind a firewall. Please ask your ITC for details on the firewall rules for your networks.

The firewall applies to network connections from outside ETH as well as from the public docking and WLAN networks.
