Site-to-Site VPN, PIX or 2600?

[edwong]

We are currently using PIX515 as the gateway firewall of our frame relay corporate network. Now we are finding some ways to connect 3 remote offices to our network through VPN. Should I buy a separate VPN device sitting beside the PIX for solely VPN function, or I can use the existing PIX as the VPN server? Will this degrade my PIX performance.

Please advice.

Thanks.

The PIX can easily handle three VPN tunnels. If you plan to deploy remote VPN access to the network, a VPN concentrator will be a better fit but if not, just use your PIX.
