On October 17, 2003, the network in Trimble Hall was divided into two vlans. Vlan 116 contains all the Resnet ports while Vlan 100 contains the public ports located in the Forum and Seminar Rooms. The uplink from Trimble to the Core router was converted from a Layer 3 routed port to a Layer 2 Vlan Switched port. This configuration will be the prototype for the rest of the campus network.
