AnyConnect Overview The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Android provides seamless and secure remote access to enterprise networks. AnyConnect allows installed applications to communicate as though connected directly to the enterprise network. AnyConnect is a sophisticated networking application that also allows you to set preferences, control the appearance and operation of AnyConnect, and use diagnostic tools and facilities on your device as recommended by your administrator. AnyConnect may be used in your enterprise in conjunction with Mobile Device Management software. If so, work with your administrator to abide by device management rules since these rules may include restricting VPN access to a set of approved applications. Your organization may provide additional documentation on using AnyConnect for Android. Your Android App Store provides the application for initial installation and all upgrades. The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is the secure gateway that admits access to the VPN, but it does not support updates of AnyConnect for mobile devices.

Kindle Devices Cisco AnyConnect (Kindle Tablet Edition) is available from Amazon for the Kindle Fire HD devices, and the New Kindle Fire. Anyconnect for Kindle is supported by the Android VPN Framework and is equivalent in functionality to the AnyConnect ICS+ package

Android VPN Framework Devices AnyConnect ICS+ offers VPN connectivity supported by the Android VPN Framework (AVF) in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or later. The AVF provides only basic VPN connectivity. The AnyConnect client, dependent upon these basic VPN capabilities, is unable to provide the full set of VPN features available in the brand-specific packages.

Note

Cisco recommends the AVF AnyConnect client for unsupported devices running Android 4.0 or later. Supported devices should use the brand-specific AnyConnect client regardless of the version of the Android operating system.

Install the Android AnyConnect Application Note

AnyConnect for Android is available for download only from the Android Market. You cannot download it from the Cisco website or after connecting to a secure gateway.

Procedure Step 1

Determine if your device is one of the supported devices and install the appropriate brand-specific AnyConnect package. Cisco provides brand-specific AnyConnect packages that offer full-featured VPN connections for these devices. These brand-specific AnyConnect clients are provided in partnership with the device vendors and are the preferred AnyConnect clients for supported devices. a) For Samsung Devices, install Samsung AnyConnect .
