The Common Network Initative

The Common Network Initiative (CNI) is an ongoing effort to maintain campus baseline network infrastructure as technology advances and user needs evolve. The program is funded by the Chancellor’s Office. It provides for the refresh of each campus network infrastructure on a cyclical basis to ensure that the network infrastructure continues to keep pace with technology and to meet the changing needs of CSU students, faculty, and staff.

What to expect?

As part of the Common Network Initiative (CNI) program of the CSU Office of the Chancellor, Infrastructure Services will be performing major campus network infrastructure upgrades. This work is expected to last through Summer 2016.

The project team will be visiting each building to replace and upgrade the current network equipment. We will require access to some offices during the upgrade.

On the day that your building is scheduled, you will experience intermittent network service interruption while work is being done. In most cases, work will start at 7:00 AM and last until 4:00 PM. If you need to use a phone while the network is disrupted, please use the nearest hallway phone or a mobile phone.

Your desk phone, computer, and notepads will resume functioning once the maintenance for your floor is complete, and the network connection for the building is restored completely.
