Network Registration: LSU Overview

General Information

University Networking & Infrastructure (UNI) utilizes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to manage the IP addresses across campus. All computers on campus must be registered through our DHCP Network Registration application. After connecting your computer to the network for the first time, or after replacing your Ethernet card, open a web browser. You should be automatically forwarded to the registration page. If you are not, then point your browser to https://drp.lsu.edu.
‎
‎Students, faculty, and staff are allowed five concurrent registrations. Registrations are good for one year and can be managed by the end-users through the https://drp.lsu.edu website. You are allowed to view and delete registrations using this interface.
‎

‎Customers in the Edward Gay Apartments

As of July 7, 2021 the LSU Eduroam wireless network is now available at Edward Gay Apartments. To gain access to the new internet service:

1. Unplug your personal wi-fi routers from both the power outlet and the data port. It is important to unplug the power cable so your router does not continue to broadcast and interfere with the community’s wireless internet connection.

2. Plug the new wireless access point (AP) into the wall using the included cable (blue circle in photo). Any attempts to remove the included cable from the access point device or from the wall will result in damage to the access point.

Photo example of wireless access point connected to wall and correct port to plug in device circled

 

3. Let the access point boot up. This usually takes about 15 minutes.

4. When the access point is done booting up, the colored light indicator on the access point will turn off. Note that there will still be some blinking lights on the bottom of the access point to show that the connection is active.

5. Now the access point is active and ready for use.

  • You should see eduroam as an active wireless network on your devices. You can sign into eduroam with your LSU credentials.
  • You can now plug in the device you want to use on a wired connection into the green-marked port. There should be a green label on the device identifying the correct port. Refer to the green circle in the photo above.
    • Any device capable of being connected via ethernet/LAN cable should use this port, especially computers and game consoles. These devices must be registered on the Device Registration Portal (DRP), just like when you registered your router for the first time.
  • Only one port is active on the access point. The other two, marked with red X’s on the photo above, are inactive.


Since you are now on the LSU wireless network, you should not reconnect any wireless routers, switches, hubs, etc. to the green-labeled port as these devices are not allowed on LSU’s network. Any other devices that can connect wirelessly should be connected to the eduroam wireless network.

  • Wireless devices like smart TVs, Rokus, Firesticks, etc. should be registered on the LSU IOT network starting July 7. The LSU IOT wireless network gives you three (3) extra registrations to connect smart devices that couldn’t connect to eduroam wireless. However, if your device is capable of connecting to eduroam (computers, phones, game consoles via LAN cable), it should be connected to eduroam, not LSUIOT. Game consoles should NOT be connected to LSUIOT.
     

The Residential Life HelpDesk can help with any setup or troubleshooting questions regarding network registration of your device(s). If you need to contact the Res Life IT Help Desk, email reslifehelp@lsu.edu or call 225-578-0560.

 Office 365: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enrollment

Managing your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enrollment

Remember: You can manage your MFA enrollment anytime through the MFA Setup portal at https://mfasetup.lsu.edu!
 

MFA Quick Links

If you’re already familiar with MFA, you can jump to a specific section with the links below. If this is your first time enrolling in MFA or you’d like to understand more, please read through the rest of this article starting with “About Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).”

In this article:
Setup Guides:
Other MFA articles:

About Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides an extra layer of security to your account by ensuring only you can approve valid log in attempts to your account. Multi-factor authentication pairs something you know (like your password) with something you have (like a cell phone, phone number, or other device that can verify you) to ensure that an attacker cannot login to your account without access to both methods.

After MFA is configured for your account, you will be asked to verify your sign-in during certain off-campus log in attempts to make sure that you, and only you, can log in to your account and access your personal and private data. More information about logging in with MFA can be found here: https://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleid=19930

Because MFA is so important to secure your account, it is required to set up MFA for your LSU Office 365 account before you can access your mail.

Going forward, you will periodically be asked to re-verify your logins on trusted devices, as well as verify logins on new devices, so please make sure you’re enrolling with methods you will have continued access to, don’t delete your verification app, and update your MFA methods when you have any modifications to your devices or phone numbers.

Currently, applications behind Microsoft authentication like Office 365 (LSUMail, Microsoft Office applications, OneDrive, Teams), Box, and Zoom are protected by MFA.

Whether it is your first time setting up MFA for your account, or you just need to update your phone number or add a new authenticator app, the MFA Setup portal can always be accessed at https://mfasetup.lsu.edu. Please note that you will need access to at least one of your MFA verification methods to sign-in to the MFA setup portal, even if you are on campus.
