How to use DART for troubleshooting AnyConnect install and connection problems?

Details

From the Cisco.com website Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Administrator Guide document:

Using DART to Gather Troubleshooting Information

DART is the Diagnostic AnyConnect Reporting Tool that user can use to collect data useful for troubleshooting AnyConnect install and connection problems. DART supports Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

The DART wizard runs on the computer that runs AnyConnect Client. DART assembles the logs, status, and diagnostic information for Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) analysis. DART does not require administrator privileges.

DART does not rely on any component of the AnyConnect software to run, though user can launch DART from AnyConnect, and DART does collect the AnyConnect log file, if it is available.

Any version of DART works with any version of AnyConnect; the version numbers of each are no longer synchronized. To optimize DART, recommended downloading the most recent version available on the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Software Download site, regardless of the AnyConnect version user is using.

DART is currently available as a standalone installation, or the administrator can push this application to the client PC as part of the AnyConnect dynamic download infrastructure. Once installed, the end user can start the DART wizard from the Cisco folder available through the Start button.

NOTE: Cisco has made DART available to its end-users so that they may have a convenient method of gathering important troubleshooting information; however, be aware that DART is in the Beta phase of its release cycle.

Karyam nissaram cast. Getting the DART Software

DART is available as part of the AnyConnect client download and installation package or as a standalone .msi file.

Any version of DART works with any version of AnyConnect; the version numbers of each are no longer synchronized. To optimize DART, recommended downloading the most recent version available on the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Software Download site, regardless of the AnyConnect version user is using.

These are the AnyConnect downloads, containing DART, on Cisco.com. Refer to the Release Notes for Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client for the latest version numbers:

  • anyconnect-all-packages-2.4.version - k9.zip - Contains all AnyConnect packages.

  • •anyconnect-dart-win-2.4.version - k9.pkg - Contains only the DART installation package, not the AnyConnect or vpngina software. Use this when installing DART as a standalone application.

Installing DART

The administrator can include DART as part of the AnyConnect installation, or registered users of Cisco.com can download the file from http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/anyconnect, as described in Getting the DART Software, and install it manually on the PC.

When the user downloads the AnyConnect client, a new version of DART, if available, is also automatically downloaded to the user's PC. When a new version of the AnyConnect client is downloaded as part of an automatic upgrade, that download includes a new version of DART, if there is one.

NOTE: If the dart keyword is not present in the group-policy configuration (configured through the svc modules command or the corresponding ASDM dialog), then the AnyConnect download does not install DART, even if it is present in the package.

Installing DART with AnyConnect

This procedure downloads DART to the remote-user's machine the next time the user connects.

Step 1 Load the AnyConnect package containing DART to the security appliance, just as user would any other Cisco software package.

Step 2 After installing the AnyConnect .pkg file containing DART on the security appliance, user must specify DART in a group policy, in order for it to be installed with AnyConnect. User can do this using ASDM or the CLI, as follows:

  • If using ASDM, begin by clicking Configuration and then click Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Group Policies.

    Add a new group policy or edit an existing group policy. In the group policy dialog box, expand Advanced and click SSL VPN Client.

    In the SSL VPN Client dialog box, uncheck Inherit for the Optional Client Modules to Download option. Select the dart module in the option's drop-down list.

    If the version of ASDM that user is using does not have the DART option checkbox, enter the keyword dart in the field. If user wants to enable both DART and Start Before Logon, enter both dart and vpngina in that field, in either order, separated by a comma.

    Click OK and then click Apply.

  • If using CLI, use the svc modules value dart command.

    NOTE: If user later changes to svc modules none or if user removes the DART selection in the Optional Client Modules to Download field, DART remains installed. There is no way for the security appliance to cause DART to be uninstalled. However, user can remove DART by using the Windows Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. If user does remove DART in this way, then it is reinstalled automatically when the user reconnects using the AnyConnect client. When the user connects, DART is upgraded automatically when an AnyConnect package with a higher version of DART is uploaded and configured on the security appliance.

    To run DART, see Running DART on a Windows PC.

    Manually Installing DART on the Host

    Step 1 Get the DART software from Cisco.com. See, Getting the DART Software, and store anyconnect-dart-win-2.4.version-k9.pkg locally.

    Step 2 Using a file compression utility such as WinZip®, extract the contents of the anyconnect-dart-win-2.4.version-k9.pkg and maintain the directory structure.

    Step 3 Open the binaries directory created from extracting the contents of the anyconnect-dart-win-2.4.version-k9.pkg file.

    Step 4 Double-click the anyconnect-dart-win-2.4.version-k9.msi file to launch the DART Setup Wizard.

    Step 5 Click Next at the Welcome screen.

    Step 6 Select I accept the terms in the License Agreement to accept the end user license agreement and click Next.

    Step 7 Click Install to install DART. The installation wizard installs DartOffline.exe in the <System Drive>:Program FilesCiscoCisco DART directory.

    Step 8 Click Finish to complete the installation.

    To run DART, see Running DART on a Windows PC.

    Running DART on a Windows PC

    To run the DART wizard and create a DART bundle on a Windows PC, follow these steps:

    Step 1 Launch the AnyConnect client GUI.

    Step 2 Click the Statistics tab and then click the Details button at the bottom of the dialog box. This opens the Statistics Details dialog box.

    Step 3 Click Troubleshoot at the bottom of the Statistics Details window.

    Step 4 Click Next at the Welcome screen. This brings user to the Bundle Creation Option dialog box.

    Step 5 In the Bundle Creation Options area, select Default or Custom.

    • The Default option includes the typical log files and diagnostic information, such as the AnyConnect and Cisco Secure Desktop log files, general information about the computer, and a summary of what DART did and did not do.

    • By selecting Default, and then clicking Next at the bottom of the dialog box, DART immediately begins creating the bundle. The default name for the bundle is DARTBundle.zip and it is saved to the local desktop.

    • If user chooses Custom, the DART wizard will present user with more dialog boxes, after user clicks Next, so that user can specify what files user wants to include in the bundle and where to store the bundle.

      Tip: By selecting Custom, user could accept the default files to include in the bundle and then only specify a different storage location for the file.

    Step 6 If user wants to encrypt the DART bundle, in the Encryption Option area check Enable Bundle Encryption; then, enter a password in the Encryption Password field. Optionally, select Mask Password and the password user enters in the Encryption Password and Reenter Password fields will be masked with astericks (*).

    Step 7 Click Next. If user selected Default, DART starts creating the bundle. If user selected Custom, the wizard continues to the next step.

    Step 8 In the Log File Selection dialog box, select the log files and preference files to include in the bundle. Click Restore Default if user wants to revert to the default list of files typically collected by DART. Click Next.

    Step 9 In the Diagnostic Information Selection dialog box, select the diagnostic information to include in the bundle. Click Restore Default if user wants to revert to the default list of files typically collected by DART. Click Next.

    Step 10 In the Comments and Target Bundle Location dialog box, configure these fields:

    • In the Comments area, enter any comments user would like to be included with the bundle. DART stores these comments in a comments.txt file included with the bundle.

    • In the Target Bundle Location field, browse for a location in which to store the bundle.

      Click Next.

    Step 11 In the Summary dialog box, review the customizations and click Next to create the bundle or click Back to make customization changes.

    Step 12 Click Finish after DART finishes creating the bundle.

Tip In some instances, end-users have reported that DART has run for more than a few minutes. If DART seems to be taking a long time to gather the default list of files, click Cancel and then re-run the wizard choosing to create a Custom DART bundle and only select the files user needs.
