Archival documentation

These pages document the use of the Cisco VPN server on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. The Cisco server has been superseded by the new Nortel VPN server. The Cisco documentation is kept for archival purposes, but is no longer actively updated.

For current information, see the main CITES VPN pages.

This section explains more about the inner workings of Virtual Private Networking. If you want to know how to install a VPN client and make a secure connection, see Downloads and Installation instead. These pages explain the theoretical underpinnings of a VPN system rather than particular implementation details.
