Split Tunneling Modes

Allows you to enable split tunneling.

Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:

  • Disable Split Tunneling—When Network Connect successfully establishes a connection to the Secure Access device, the device removes any predefined local (client) subnet and host-to-host routes that might cause split-tunneling behavior. If any changes are made to the client’s route table during an active Network Connect session, the Secure Access device terminates the session.
  • Allow access to local subnet—The Secure Access device preserves the route on the client, retaining access to local resources such as printers. If needed, you can add entries to the client’s route table during the Network Connect session. The Secure Access device does not terminate the session. This is the default option.
  • Enable Split Tunneling—This option activates split-tunneling and requires you to specify the network IP address/netmask combinations. For the specified network IP address/netmask combinations, the Secure Access device handles traffic passed between the remote client and the corporate intranet.
  • Enable Split Tunneling with route change monitor— This option retains access to local resources such as printers.
  • Enable Split Tunneling with allowed access to local subnet—This option activates split-tunneling and preserves the route on the client, retaining access to local resources such as printers.
