Security Appliance Software Version 8.0 debuts the support for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client connections. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is the next-generation VPN client, which provides remote users with secure VPN connections to the Cisco ASA 5500 Appliance by using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client provides all the benefits of a Cisco SSL VPN client, and additionally supports applications and functions unavailable to a clientless, browser-based SSL VPN connection.
Another advantage of the Cisco AnyConnect Client is that it also supports IPv6 over an IPv4 network.
Note
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is supported on Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.
Caution
The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client is not supported on Cisco PIX appliances and Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator series; it is supported on Cisco ASA 5500 hardware models only. PIX does not support SSL VPN connections, either clientless or AnyConnect.
