Installing the Cisco VPN Software Client
Installation of the Cisco VPN Software Client varies slightly between the different supported
operating systems. The best source of detailed installation information is the release notes
that accompany the Cisco VPN Software Client that you are installing. Installing the Cisco
VPN Software Client on a Windows-based system follows the usual software installation
process. The on-screen instructions ensure the installation is quick and not very complicated.
After the software is installed, the following new options are added to your Programs menu
(see Figure 14-5):
¦ Help—Accesses the Cisco VPN Client Help text
¦ Set MTU—Enables you to set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a specific
interface
¦ VPN Client—Launches the Cisco VPN Client so that you can choose a connection and
establish a VPN session
