Cisco VPN

The Cisco VPN (virtual private network) client allows a computer to make secure network connections via specific equipment called VPN concentrators located on the campus network. Using the VPN, all network traffic between your computer and the VPN concentrator is encrypted. In addition, the VPN allows you to connect to other systems as if your computer were on campus, whether or not it actually is physically located on the campus network.

A new version of the Cisco VPN client is now available. This new version is for early adopters and comes with limited IST support (When prompted, use your CalNetID and passphrase for access. For best results, remove any prior Cisco AnyConnect client version before installing a new release version.)
