Cisco Anyconnect Windows Xp



Before we purchased Anyconnect VPN licenses, we were using the 2 Anyconnect licenses that come with the ASA on 32 bit Windows XP just fine. Then we purchased 10 Anyconnect licenses, I loaded the licenses and also upgraded the client to 2.4.1012. There were also some changes made to the Anyconnect user profiles as I tested out the settings. Locate the following services and make sure they are all started properly: IPSEC Services, DNS Client, Cisco AnyConnect VPN Agent; If you use Windows Firewall, add an exception for Cisco AnyConnect VPN client; Bonjour from Apple can interfere with Cisco’s AnyConnect VPN client. If you don’t need it, it is best to uninstall it. You will need AnyConnect v3.x if you want to run it on XP and Vista. However, v3.x has been retired and it is no longer available for download. Thus, I would recommend reaching out to your local Cisco team and/or TAC and see if they can release/publish an older version for you to download. I hope this helps!

Please note the following: SBL behaves much differently on Windows XP than it does on Windows 7. This is because the differences in technology between the XP and Windows 7 Pre-Login API's. For that reason, there are different pages for installing SBL on Windows 7 and XP. If you are looing for the Windows 7 Instructions, please click here.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

  • You should already have your AnyConnect VPN Client installed using the instructions located on the previous page.
  • You can already connect to the VPN with your account.
