setup pix501 vpn

[rhopkins_nci]

I have a pix 501 6.3(5), with these license features:

Failover: Disabled

VPN-DES: Enabled

VPN-3DES-AES: Enabled

Maximum Physical Interfaces: 2

Maximum Interfaces: 2

Cut-through Proxy: Enabled

Guards: Enabled

URL-filtering: Enabled

Inside Hosts: Unlimited

Throughput: Unlimited

IKE peers: 10

My questions are, how many vpn's can I have, site to site and or remote user vpn's? Lastly, how do I create the remote host vpn's? Should I do this thru the cmd line or web based? Or does anyone know of a link or guide explaining the vpn setup on this model. If anymore info is needed let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi

It means that you can have 10 VPNs and these VPNs can be site-to-site, remote access or a mixture of both but no more than 10.

I don't really use the web based tool as i tend to do all config on CLI. Attached is a link to some example config docs for remote access vpns to pix firewalls.

Thanks Jon, I was looking thru some of the guides, are there guides on configuring a remote host without the cisco vpn client, or is it even possible? Can I use the built in xp client? Thanks again.

You can use L2TP over IPSEC from a windows client. Attached is a link to a doc for configuring L2TP over IPSEC between a pix firewall and a w2k pc. It should apply to XP as well.

I dont think it applies to XP as well. I can get a 2000 client to work, but not an XP one
