Enhancements FAQ

Q1 : Can e-mail alerts be sent to the subscriber, network administrator, and account manager when a subscriber has reached the WAN-usage billing threshold?

A: Notices are sent to the subscriber only. The NUBB application was built for billing purposes, and not as a network management tool. (Remember that only about 5% of IP's on campus exceed this limit.)

Q2: Can end users see how much bandwidth they have used throughout the month?

A: Yes. If IPs that you use have been assigned to your NetID in NUBB, you can view the usage and charges for the current month at any time. Ask your account or network administrator for assistance if you cannot view usage statistics for your IPs.

Q3: Can a network administrator choose the default subnet that is displayed when the NUBB application opens?

A: No. NUBB does not offer individual profiles at this time.

Q4: How can I find out who has account maintenance or network administrator access for NUBB in my department?

A: Call 5-8990 or send an e-mail to helpdesk@cornell.edu to request the information.
