Hello,
I'm looking for a way to assign IP addresses on VPN activation by a Cisco VPN client software on Windows.
The customer wants to start applications from the main site towards the VPN clients. He is looking for a way to identify the individual equipment in his applications. Currently modem dial-up is used, so telephone numbers are used now.
VPN connections are not made over the internet, but over a private network. For security reasons the customer is not satisfied with interconnecting the networks using a firewall. Therefore the remote equipment will contain the Cisco VPN client software and connect to the PIX (model 515).
So far I could only find examples where addresses are fetched from a pool, meaning that association between IP address and remote equipment is dynamic rather than static.
Any sugggestion is welcome.
Thank you

Any update on this?

So far, I have not seen any suggestions whatsoever.
Therefore we are now checking possibilities for automatic registration to a (D)DNS or WINS server when setting up the VPN tunnel.
As we are not responsible for the DNS/WINS part of the network, this does not seem very appealing, but failing an alternative, we will have to find a spare server to install a DNS, and do the tests.
Could somebody point to examples of configurations on the VPN client and PIX as VPN terminator, to force registration with a DNS/WINS when setting up the VPN tunnel ?
An additional question is about the end of the lease of the IP address : is registration with the (possibly) different address automatic ?
Thanks for any suggestions
