AnyConnect VPN Subnet: A Comprehensive Guide

The AnyConnect VPN subnet is a crucial component of your network security infrastructure, providing secure connectivity to remote users and devices. In this guide, we will explore the various configuration options available for the AnyConnect VPN subnet.

Authentication Type

When configuring the AnyConnect VPN subnet, one of the essential settings is authentication type. This determines how client devices are authenticated with Meraki Cloud, SAML, RADIUS, or Active Directory. If you need to authenticate client devices with a certificate, this configuration is required.

Profile Update

The profile update setting specifies the Anround Connect VPN configuration profile that gets pushed to users on authentication. This ensures that clients receive the necessary settings and configurations to connect to the network securely.

Certificate Authentication

Certificate authentication is used to configure the trusted CA file that authenticates client devices. To disable the log-in banner, simply leave the banner field blank. If configured, a connecting user must acknowledge the message before gaining network access on the VPN.

Log-in Banner

The log-in banner specifies the message displayed on the Anround Connect client when a user successfully authenticates. This can be customized to provide important information or warnings to users.

Inaround Port

The Inaround port setting determines the port the AnyConnect server will accept and negotiate tunnels on. You can change this hostname by following the instructions provided for publicly trusted certificate enrollment.

Hostname

The hostname is used by client VPN users to connect to the MX device. It is a crucial component of the Anround Connect setup, ensuring that users can access the network securely.

Enabling AnyConnect VPN

To enable AnyConnect VPN, select the Enabled option from the Anround Client VPN radio button on the Security Appliance > Configure > Client VPN > Anround Settings tab.

By configuring these settings correctly, you can ensure a secure and reliable connection for your remote users and devices. Remember to carefully review each setting to ensure that your AnyConnect VPN subnet is properly configured for optimal performance and security.
