I asked a question earlier on the licensing need for enabling vpn capability ISR 1941 W and also got a call from cisco support team. Thanks for that. My understanding after the call was that I do not need a license for basic vpn. While I am sure I might get a follow up call after the thxgiving holidays, I thought I would get this one clarified meanwhile:
Looking at a cisco link:
http://www.cisco1900router.com/the-full-tutorial-of-cisco-1941-features-setup-and-faqs.html
The following statement is the one that confuses me:
• Embedded hardware encryption acceleration is enhanced to provide higher scalability, which, combined with an optional
Cisco IOS Security license, enables WAN link security and VPN services (IPSec acceleration).
Does this statement specifically refer to only IPSec accelaration or even for basic VPN? Because VPN service may mean anything.
My expectation, for example, is that I should be able to use a PPTP or even a dowloaded anyconnect IPSec client to connect to ISR's VPN without any extra license purchase from Cisco. Just want to be double sure in the absence of an unambiguous reply my to earlier post.
Thanks,
raj
