Using the VPN is the recommended way of accessing CSM computing resources when you are off-campus or connecting over the campus wireless network. There are two main ways of utilizing the VPN. You can download and install the Cisco VPN client software on your computer. Once you are connected through the client software, your computer appears to other computers on the CSM campus as though it were physically plugged in to a network port on campus. The other primary way to use the VPN is via a web browser. Once you are connected in this manner, you can access many otherwise restricted resources. The main advantage of this method is not needing to install any software on your computer. The main disadvantage of this method is that you will not have access to the full range of resources which are available when using the Cisco VPN client. Additionally, the VPN can be used as a way to securely transmit e-mail to the CSM mail servers. Client Setup and Download Web-Based VPN Secure E-mail via VPN
