SSL VPN UDP or TCP?

Level 4

Hello

 

With many thanks I was able to configure my SSLVPN on my 5508-X.

My question is does this use UDP or TCP by default? Or both depending on application?

I want to utilize  UDP specifically.

thank you for any assistance

Hi,
AnyConnect SSL-VPN will use both udp/433 (DTLS) and tcp/433 (TLS/SSL). The VPN is established using TLS and will then negotiate a udp DTLS tunnel. Once established all data traffic will use the DTLS tunnel, with only control traffic being sent over the TLS tunnel. The TLS tunnel can act as a backup in case the DTLS tunnel fails.

Excellent. Thank you.

 

tried to google what I was seeking but clearly worded it wrong because I found nothing with that info. 

 

I appreciate your assistance
