Department VPN Solutions
In addition to the individual and WebVPN solutions, OIT offers a department VPN solution. If your department uses a firewall or restricts access to services based on IP address or hostname, the department VPN service may be for you. The department solution provides:
- A block of assigned IP addresses
- IP addresses can be dynamic or static based upon need
- Local administration by the department LAN manager
- Authentication using the uNID and password
All campus staff, faculty, and students have access to the general campus VPN by using their uNID. The departmental service goes a step further and gives the user the same IP address or one out of a defined pool every time they log on. This is only useful if your network or computer access list can be modified to allow access via the specific IP address/range.
This department vpn service is set up in coordination with the department network or computer administrators who can modify these access lists.
To set up a pool of addresses, department admininistrators should contact OIT with an approximate number of users in their department, and a list of their uNIDs.
The service is free. Call 1-4000 for more information or to sign up for the service.
