The Cornell campus VPN gives you access to campus-wide networks and services. However, some departments use a departmental VPN to provide added security for particular departmental resources.
To use VPN with campus or department networks and services, you must use Cisco VPN software with an additional PCF file installed.
If you have not already, follow these steps:
Connect to a Departmental VPN
- In a Finder window, click Applications and then click VPN Client.
- Select the departmental VPN you're trying to connect to (names will vary), and then click Connect.
- In the Username box, enter your NetID followed by the permit name provided to you by your technical support provider, for example, ewe2@permit.name. In the Password box, enter your NetID password.
- To disconnect your VPN connection, click Disconnect.
