Step 5: Create and configure a UDP connection

Follow this step if you plan to use the Cisco VPN Client from an off-campus location or with a wireless connection on campus. If you are using VPN from an off-campus location, you should create and configure both a tcp and a udp connection entry for EACH registered VPN subnet (e.g., General_tcp, General_udp, Library_tcp, Library_udp).

1. Select Connection Entries > New.
2. The Create New VPN Connection dialog box displays.
   
3. Complete the fields as follows
   Connection Entry: Type a name for this VPN connection (e.g., General_udp, Library_udp). Do not include any spaces!
   Description: Type a description for this connection.
   Host: Type server.vpn.cmu.edu.
4. On the Authentication tab, select the Certificate Authentication option.
5. In the Name field, select the name of the certificate you imported earlier from the drop-down list.
6. Select the Transport tab.
7. Under Enable Transparent Tunneling, select IPSec over UDP (NAT/PAT).
   
8. Click Save. The Connection Entries tab redisplays.
9. Repeat this step for each subnet that you are registered under on the NetReg page (e.g., VPN - General Users, VPN - Library). When you are finished, you will have a "udp" connection entry for each registered VPN subnet (e.g., General_udp, Library_udp).
   
   Note: If you are using VPN from an off-campus location, you should now have both a tcp and a udp connection entry for each registered VPN subnet (e.g., General_tcp, General_udp, Library_tcp, Library_udp).
   
   If you are using a Mac, your configuration process is complete. Continue with the steps to Establish a VPN connection.
