AnyConnect on Windows 10
Steps to install & connect AnyConnect on windows 10
Very recently, I needed to use AnyConnect vpn software to connect to CISCO lab. I could have used my linux box, but the remote ASA gateway was not having linux package flashed. Oh, and if you are wondering what is this dependency ? In short, the remote gateway (in this case ASA) need to be flashed with AnyConnect package of same OS as of client machine. That means if client is a linux box, remote gateway need to be flashed with AnyConnect linux variant package. If there is issue like this, you are most likely to get below error.
The AnyConnect package on the secure gateway could not be located. You may be
experiencing network connectivity issues. Please try connecting again.
Here is the video link which explains the process to flash package on CISCO ASA.
