Need help explaining how to use a VPN on a UNIX server with a Mac OS

I have gotten a gig to teach someone how to use a VPN client for a UNIX server on a MAC os. The problem is I have never used UNIX, dont mess with VPN's (my dad has a VPN that I have used a couple of times). I'm currently taking a crash course on UNIX but I was wondering if anyone could help me with the finer points. Maybe any help on using a vpn on unix?

NAME
SNMP::Info::Layer3::Altiga - SNMP Interface to Cisco (formerly Altiga) VPN concentrators AUTHOR
Jeroen van Ingen Schenau SYNOPSIS
# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you. my $altiga = new SNMP::Info( AutoSpecify => 1, Debug => 1, DestHost => 'my_vpn_host', Community => 'public', Version => 1 ) or die "Can't connect to DestHost. "; my $class = $altiga->class(); print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class "; DESCRIPTION
Subclass for Cisco (formerly Altiga) VPN concentrators Inherited Classes SNMP::Info::Layer3 Required MIBs Inherited Classes' MIBs See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements. Class Variables (options) $SNMP::Info::Layer3::Altiga::int_include_vpn Variable to modify behavior of "interfaces" subroutine. * When set to 0, "interfaces" returns only fixed interfaces from the IF-MIB, * When set to 1, "interfaces" returns fixed interfaces from IF-MIB and LAN-to-LAN tunnels from ALTIGA-SESSION-MIB (default) GLOBALS
These are methods that return scalar value from SNMP $altiga->vendor() Returns 'altiga' $altiga->os() Returns 'altiga' $altiga->os_ver() Tries to determine OS version from the "sysDescr.0" field. Returns version or "sysDescr.0" $altiga->fan() Combines results from "fan1_alarm", "fan2_alarm", and "fam3_alarm" methods. $altiga->hasCDP() No. $altiga->ps1_status() Combines "ps1_3v_alarm" and "ps1_5v_alarm" methods. $altiga->ps2_status() Combines "ps2_3v_alarm" and "ps2_5v_alarm" methods. TABLE METHODS
These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash. $altiga->interfaces() This method overrides the interfaces() method inherited from SNMP::Info. It provides a mapping between the Interface Table Index (iid) and the physical port name, adding a port number to the port name to prevent duplicate names. $altiga->i_lastchange() Filters out the results depending on the value of $SNMP::Info::Layer3::Altiga::int_include_vpn $altiga->i_type() Filters out the results depending on the value of $SNMP::Info::Layer3::Altiga::int_include_vpn MUNGES
munge_alarm() Changes "true" and "false" to "FAIL", "OK", and "(n/a)". perl v5.12.4 2011-09-28 Info::Layer3::Altiga(3pm)
