Overview

Because of persistent threats leveraged against higher ed academic institutions, CNF and Cornell require a VPN connection to access many on-campus services. Cornell uses two differing VPN clients... Cisco Anyconnect for those with a Cornell NetID; FortiClient for those with a Cornell GuestID.

TwoStep Login

Beginning May 14, 2021, Cornell will require Two Step Login for NetID VPN.

Installing

Follow the instructions on the Cornell VPN webpage to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

Connecting

  • An actual seven digit passcode.

If you don't want to use your default device, you can optionally add the device number after the above to specify the specific device. Device numbers are listed on your Manage Your Two-Step Login webpage.
