How to connect to FTD?

To connect to FTD you need to open a browser, type DNS name or IP address pointing to the outside interface, in this example https://vpn.cisco.com. You will then have to login using credentials stored in RADIUS server and follow instructions on the screen. Once AnyConnect installs, you then need to put the same address in AnyConnect window and click Connect.

How to create a null route for remote access?

create a null route for network used for remote access users, defined in section c. Just go to Devices > Device Management > Edit > Routing > Static Route > Add route:

What certificates are needed for AnyConnect?

Certificates are essential when you configure AnyConnect. Only RSA based certificates are supported in SSL and IPSec. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm certificates (ECDSA) are supported in IPSec, but it's not possible to deploy new AnyConnect package or XML profile when ECDSA based certificate is used. It means that you can use it for IPSec, but you will have to predeploy AnyConnect package and XML profile to every user and any change in XML profile will have to be manually reflected on each client (bug: CSCtx42595 ). Additionally the certificate should have Subject Alternative Name extension with DNS name and/or IP address to avoid errors in web browsers.

What version of VPN is Firepower Threat Defense?

This document provides a configuration example for Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) version 6.2.2 and later, that allows remote access VPN to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2). As a client, Cisco AnyConnect will be used, which is supported on multiple platforms.
