• Enter (if not already entered) and click Connect (see top image below). In the login window that opens (see bottom image): • Select Group (appropriate for you role at MSU, ie MSU-Employee or MSU-Student). • Enter NetID and NetID password, click OK. You will now be connected to the MSU VPN. The Cisco icon in the dock will now have a little padlock on it and a tiny version Cisco round logo with padlock will be displayed on top menu bar. To disconnect: Right-click on the icon in top menu bar and select Disconnect. To connect in the future: You will no longer go through Network Preferences to connect to the VPN, just use the AnyConnect app.
Connect by right-clicking on the Cisco AnyConnect icon in the top menu bar or dock, then click the Connect button in the 'VPN Ready to connect' box. If you don't see the icon in your top menu bar or dock, go to your Applications folder, open the Cisco folder and click the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.app.
Next click the Connect button as shown in the image under step 4 above.
Once you connected to VPN thru Anyconnect Client, you will see that Virtual Miniport Adapter gets activated: any idea why we get the same MAC address for any user who install & use the client? I'm coming across this problem, as well. Our ePO server sees 100+ Anyconnect laptops all having the same mac address. We contacted McAfee and found that there is a known issue between ePO and machines that connect via VPN.
You only encounter this problem when the first connection from a client to the ePO server takes place over a VPN connection. If the computer's first connection is via a Local Area Network, the correct Media Access Control address is added to the table. When a computer communicates with the ePO server via VPN, it uses the VPN virtual computer's MAC address and not its own actual MAC address.
This VPN MAC address is the same for all computers connecting through the VPN. Has there been any response from Cisco about changing this?
