[cisco-voip] which soft client to use for smart phones?

Thu Jan 5 11:13:11 EST 2012

Thanks Scott. A few questions: 

Is Cisco Mobility 8.1 a.k.a. Cisco Jabber? I can't find Mobility 8.1 on the app store, only Jabber. 

Do you have it working so the user doesn't have to "think" about VPN, it just works? I don't want users to have to remember to click anyconnect first, then Jabber. 

I believe we have mobile license on our ASA, here's a show version output, do you think we're set?

Anyconnect with cisco mobility 8.1 on the iphone. only played with it a little. using SNR more. I'm pretty sure I could support SNR in Production. Works well. 

Cavaets: anyconnect on mobile devices requires the mobile license on your ASA. 
#2 Anyconnect not supported on majority of droid phones.

i need to start testing some soft clients for smart phones, but i really haven't kept up to speed with the different clients and requirements. what we're looking for is the following: 

    • phone to register over campus wifi 
    • phone to register over third party wifi (using VPN) 
    • phone to move from wifi to 3G and back 
    • to work together with SNR (when wifi and/or 3G data is not available) 

i quickly tried the jabber client for iPhone and wasn't too impressed. :( granted, i didn't install any device pack or COP file as instructed, but got it registering with 7.1(5b)SU3 . i mean, the client didn't even come to the foreground when i called the extension! 

i'm going to do some reading, but was hoping to get a thread going with people's thoughts about the different clients for phones? what are you using? what additional software (e.g. AnyConnect) to get things working?
