Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The VPN is used to securely access on-campus resources as though you were directly attached to the CMU network. In order to use the VPN you will need to download and install the VPN client software.
The Cisco IPSEC VPN client supports the following operating systems:
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP (32-bit only)
- Windows Vista (32 bit only)
- Mac OS X (Tiger and Leopard)
- Some Linux distributions
A group name/password and a global ID/password are required to connect to the VPN.
We are currently in the process of upgrading our VPN hardware. Once the upgrade is complete there will be additional VPN clients available that will support 64-bit operating systems as well as VPN over SSL.
If you have any further questions, please call the Help Desk at (989) 774-3662 or visit the Help Desk Located at Park Library 101.
