Network requirements to support Cisco Secure Client.


If you intend to configure Cisco Secure Client in your Secure Access environment, ensure that your network meets the requirements for your deployment.

Note

Review all network requierments carefully, as some other sections also contain requirements for Cisco Secure Client deployments, such as VPN and zero trust access.


Cisco Secure Client and Captive Portal Detection

The Cisco Secure Client Umbrella Roaming Security module uses multiple techniques to detect captive portals or hotspots. Allow these domains on your firewall for the most accurate captive portal detection:

  • connecttest.cisco.io
  • www․msftconnecttest․com
Note
The connecttest.cisco.io and www․msftconnecttest․com domains have dynamic IP addresses.

Cisco Secure Client and Device Hostnames

The Cisco Secure Client Umbrella Roaming Security module uses hostnames to register the device in Secure Access. All machines must have a hostname that is unique within your organization.
