IOS WebVPN AnyConnect keeps reconnecting

Marcel Maeder
Level 4
Level 4

Hi

AnyConnect 3.1.05152 and 3.1.04063 reconnects about every minute on Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x32. This issue happens whether I'm connected via cable or wireless. Sometimes I see strange messages on the routers console depending on the client I use:

169BEE80: 16030300 89010000 85030352 BD99CFBD  ...........R=.O=

169BEE90: DBFF9A0E BFC9ADB6 8F77265E 80728829  [...?I-6.w&^.r.)

169BEEA0: 42F01ED7 6999F45E 0CDCB800 0026003C  Bp.Wi.t^.\8..&.<..

Gateway: Cisco 897VAW router, Cisco IOS Software, C800 Software (C800-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.4(1)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2). The problem also exists in with 15.3.3M1.

For troubleshooting purposes I connected the router and the client on the same subnet. On the client I'm pinging a loopback address of the router.

I've already tried to use rc4-md5 as SSL encryption in the gateway, but it didn't solve the problem.

How can I fix this problem?

Sophos or other anti-virus installed? Try disabling and see if you get the same issues.

Hi !

I have exactly same error ! AnyConnect session is reconnecting every 30 seconds, when CSTP timer reaches 29 seconds.

Next sh webvpn session output looks like:

Router#sh webvpn session user USER context all
Session Type      : Clientless
Client User-Agent : AnyConnect Windows 4.0.00048

Username          : USER                 Num Connection : 0

                    svc-enabled

So my FullTunnel session change to Clientless after 30 seconds, and back to FullTunnel. CSTP timer reaches 29 seconds and all repeats.

Solved!

After router image upgrade to c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M2.bin AnyConnect works fine.

The previous image was c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-1.T.bin.
