Introduction

This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to allow Cisco AnyConnect VPN client access to the Internet while they are tunneled into a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) 8.0.2. This configuration allows the client secure access to corporate resources via SSL while giving unsecured access to the Internet using split tunneling.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:

Background Information

The Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client provides secure SSL connections to the security appliance for remote users. Without a previously installed client, remote users enter the IP address in their browser of an interface configured to accept SSL VPN connections.

Configure

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.

Problem

This is a simple job to do from command line, however the world is full of people who would rather spend an hour in the ASDM working out how to do it! So I’ve included both methods.

What is split tunneling?

This is the process of letting a remote VPN user browse the web, and access local resources etc, from their location whilst connected to your VPN in this case via SSLVPN, but also from WebVPN or IPSEC VPN.

Option 1 Enable Split Tunnel via Command Line

1. Connect to the ASA > Go to enable mode > Then to global configuration mode > Create an ACL that permits traffic from the network behind the ASA to any. ( Note: Add additional ACL’s for additional internal networks).

Enable Split Tunnel on an older (PIX Firewall)

Type help or '?' for a list of available commands. PetesPIX> enable Password: ****** PetesPIX# configure terminal PetesPIX (config)# access-list Split-Tunnel permit ip 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 any PetesPIX (config)# vpngroup RemoteVPN split-tunnel Split-Tunnel

Option 2 Enable Split Tunnel via ASDM

1. Launch the ASDM > Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Group Policies > Select your policy.

Problem

I have answered a lot of questions in forums, that are worded something like, “When I have a remote client connected to my firewall VPN they lose Internet access!” Traditionally that’s exactly what the ‘default’ remote VPN solution (IPSEC or AnyConnect) gave you.

Solution

At this point I’m assuming you have a remote VPN setup and working, if not you need to do that first, here are some walk-throughs I’ve already done to help you set that up.

Option 1 (Split Tunneling)

Rather than re-invent the wheel, I’ve already covered this before in the following article.

Option 2 (Tunnel All Split Tunneling)

1. Connect to the ASA > Go to enable mode > Then to global configuration mode.
