A fixed IP address is an IP (Internet Protocol) address that is assigned centrally by Network administrators to a device so that this address does not change on its own.

Typical uses that require a Fixed IP include:

  • network printers
  • computers that need access to various systems, software, or servers. 

To request a fixed IP address please fill out this form https://help.stonybrook.edu/TDClient/277/Portal/Requests/ServiceOfferings/Edit?ID=2470
Fixed IP address request may take up to 5-7 business days to complete. Additional work may be required after the address has been applied to ensure proper functionality of certain devices (i.e. Network Printers).
