Hi Leslie, Each of our two large campuses (Indianapolis and Bloomington) has two Cisco VPN 3030 systems, each capable of handling 1500 simultaneous tunnels. On each campus, one is used to secure wireless and allow remote access. The second is a special purpose server that only a select few have access to (it gives out a limited range of IP addresses that are closely monitored). These VPN servers authenticate to a Windows 2000-based RADIUS server, which in turn talks to our Windows 2000 ADS domain controllers. All of our "authorized" wireless access points are VLAN-ed into/through a VPN server to provide authenticated and encrypted wireless communications. And, we've been very happy with these products. Hope this helps, -- Tom Davis, Information Technology Security Officer, CISSP Office of the VP for Information Technology, Indiana University For PGP Key: https://www.itso.iu.edu/staff/tdavis -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Maltz [mailto:lmaltz () COLUMBIA EDU] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 3:16 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] VPNs Columbia is investigating means for implementing and supporting a VPN for the university. The demand is clear, but a solution that will scale and be supportable is not so clear. I would like to know if you have implemented a VPN for your university, what products are being used, and how it is working. I'm interested in both successes and disappointments. Thanks in advance for your responses. -Leslie ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
