A Note on Working Directly off of a Network Drive
It is possible, while using the AnyConnect application, to work on documents directly through a network drive, but it is not advised. Connection issues may corrupt open network documents. Additionally, if the document is on a shared drive, working directly on the network copy keeps others from being able to view or copy the file. To avoid any issues, best practice is to work off of a local copy (a file copied from a network drive to your local computer). While using the AnyConnect application, locate your document and save it to your local computer. Once you have completed your work, you can copy it back to the network drive.
1. Click on the AnyConnect icon on your status bar (PC) or menu bar (Mac).
2. Select Disconnect.
Objective
This article shows you how to download and install the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 4.3 on a Mac Computer. This article is applicable only to Cisco Business products that includes the RV34x series routers and not Enterprise products.
Introduction
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a modular endpoint software product. It not only provides Virtual Private Network (VPN) access through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange version2 (IKEv2) but also offers enhanced security through various built-in modules. Why use a VPN? A VPN connection allows users to access, send, and receive data to and from a private network by means of going through a public or shared network such as the Internet but still ensuring a secure connection to an underlying network infrastructure to protect the private network and its resources.
