Accessing ECE Virtual Lab Computers from Off-Campus using UBC Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client

To access remote lab computers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department, you can use the UBC Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. Before connecting to the virtual labs, make sure that you are connected to the UBC VPN service.

To begin, enter the hostname of your lab computer in the 'Computer name' field. For Windows users, you can launch the native Remote Desktop Connection program. Use your CWL credentials (username and password) to log in. You will be prompted to enter these details.

If you don't have the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client installed on your computer, you can download it from the provided link. Once downloaded, follow these steps:

1. Enter 'vpn.ubc.ca' into the empty field box.

2. Click 'Connect'.

3. Launch the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.

After completing your remote session, please save all of your work and log off from the virtual lab computer to ensure that other users can access the limited resource of these computers.

Remember to note that there is a limited availability of virtual lab computers. Please be mindful of this and log off as soon as you are done with your session.

By following these steps, you will be able to access the ECE virtual lab computers from off-campus using the UBC Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.
