Dear Mr Fairless

Freedom of Information Request No. 05-1415

I refer to your correspondence received by the Department on 16 July 2014
seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act), to
the following:

‘Information pertaining to your Information Technology Infrastructure.

Namely, I am after records detailing the IPv4 (and if relevant, IPv6)
addresses used to access the public internet from within your network.

To clarify, these are the public facing addresses of your private network.
I am only requesting addresses that are used to access the general public
internet.

In addition, if it is such that a particular IP address serves a
particular area within your department (for example, one IP address is
used for Media Relations, while another is used for Ministerial
Communications), I also request access to this information.

To assist you in locating this information, I suggest it would be found in
network documentation, or at the very least in configuration files of your
router and firewall equipment’.

The statutory period for processing your request is 30 days, which
commenced from the date it was received.

Please note that processing charges may be imposed and that consultation
with third parties may be required. If it is necessary to seek agreement
to pay charges or to consult with third parties, additional processing
time is provided under the FOI Act. You will be advised of any charges as
well as any need to consult third parties in relation to your request.

Information Publication Scheme

In accordance with section 11C of the FOI Act, where the Department gives
access to a document under section 11A of the FOI Act, the Department must
publish that information on its website within 10 working days after the
day an applicant is given access to the documents.
