=== External VPN connections to COSMOS

We maintain point to point connections to link various resources to the testbed, mostly at layer 2 for networking experiments. This consists of dialable links over internet2, as well as tunnels over the public internet.

==== User VPN Service

Connect to the following endpoints using your COSMOS username and password. This will only be active during your reservation.

 ||   Server                  ||  Subnet         ||  Description        ||
 || vpn.bed.cosmos-lab.org    ||  10.110.0.0/16  ||  COSMOS Main Testbed ||

Alternatively, [download the Windows !PowerShell script] to your local machine, right-click on it and run it as administrator. This will create three VPN connections for the three COSMOS domains.

Once VPN connection(s) are created, you will be able to bring the connection menu up by left mouse click on the network icon on the Windows task bar:

Selecting the appropriate connection (for which you must have current reservation) will bring up the prompt for username and password (only the very first time that particular VPN connection is activated):
