64-bit AnyConnect back to 3005?

kmontgomery · ‎09-26-2008

Has anyone successfully used the new AnyConnect client to connect back to a 3005 series VPN Concentrator?

We have Vista 64-bit clients who need to connect to our pre-existing VPN networks, both a 3030 and 3005 concentrator. This is for the medical field, of course at a community hospital where just replacing the concentrator is not an option at this point...

Anyone successful at doing this yet?

The Vista version of AnyConnect (32- and 64-bit) supports everything that the Windows 2000 and Windows XP versions support, with the exception of Start Before Login. Cisco Secure Desktop, which is a distinct product from AnyConnect, provides 32-bit Vista support for its posture assessment and cache cleaner components. Cisco Secure Desktop does not support secure desktop on Vista at this time.

Did you get this to work with VPN Concentrators. Documentation that I have read said that AnyConnect is not supported with VPN Concentrators. If you did get it to work, how did you get it to work? I am in similiar situation.

Yes, the client for the ASA, Any connect, works on those systems. That is not the problem. Any Connect does not connect back to a Cisco 3005 VPN Concentrator.

I just downloaded this freeware Windows x64 IPsec client, installed it on XP x64 and it works fine with an ASA (non SSL) http://www.shrew.net/?page=download∏=vpn. It should work with the old 3005.
