On Campus Access

ssh access to the head node, nanolab.cnf.cornell.edu, is allowed from all campus networks.

Off Campus Access

To access the CNF cluster from off campus, you must connect to the Cornell VPN service. In general, it does not matter if you connect to the main Cornell VPN or to a departmental VPN.

CNF Cluster users with a Cornell GuestID or who are also normal users of the CNF labs may use the same departmental VPN for accessing CORAL:

• For your VPN username, please enter guestid@RS-CNF-VPN-GID
• The "RS-CNF-VPN-GID" is case sensitive.

CNF Cluster netid users with no other Cornell affiliation may connect to the RS-CNF-VPNAccess departmental VPN:

• For your VPN username, please enter netid@RS-CNF-VPNAccess
• the "RS-CNF-VPNAccess" is case sensitive.

Login to the Cluster

Use your favorite ssh client to connect with your NetID or GuestID to host: nanolab.cnf.cornell.edu .
