How to Get an Account

Requirements for a NetDB Account:

• If you:
  • are a local network administrator (LNA)
  • administer a large number of machines (system or lab administrator)
  • need to change IP addresses often (e.g., central IT staff)
• You have a valid SUNet ID
• Your email and business phone number are accessible in Stanford Who to the Stanford community

To get an account, have your manager or an existing NetDB user within your department submit a HelpSU on your behalf. Make sure they indicate what kind access you need (specifying a reference user to clone is a great way to do that).
