Cisco anyconnect starts reconnecting when openvpn tunnel is established

[erwee1973]

Hello

One of our customers used to use Cisco vpn client together with Openvpn client, to connect to 2 vpn endpoints concurrently (needed to connect to business and locations of equipment concurrently)

Now the Cisco vpn client is changed by Anyconnect and there starts trouble

Summarized: Anyconnect is started. Then they start Openvpn. As soon as openvpn is connected, the Anyconnect starts reconnecting (the tunnel uptime of anyconnect stays intact, so time is not reset to zero by the way). After reconnecting, some of routing entries changed and openvpn tunnel doesn’t work anymore (Anyconnect overwrites routing table)

Question is, why does anyconnect starts reconnecting while with former cisco vpn client it was no problem?

In the debug log of webvpn there is not any info that makes sense. Any help appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Do you use the split-tunnel or tunnel-all??  have you tried this with both options???

Then it should be okay. But am worrying about the certificate exchange process that anyconnect does could be causing the problem. It might be blocking the openvpn sessions and routes.... Lets check on options.
