VPN IP local pool

[johnnywi43]

We are testing the upgrade from version 8.2 to 8.4 on an ASA 5505 and ran into a problem. For VPN connections we had pools created. A few of the pools were limited to a single IP address. After the upgrade the ASA rejects the pools that only had one IP address instead of a range. In the command line if you enter a question mark after typing in "ip local pool (pool keyword)" in config mode it says "Specify an IP address or a range of IP addresses:start[-end]" with the word "or" it sounds like it should except a single IP address but it doesn't. The error is "Please enter a valid IP address range."

Does anyone know the soultion to this problem besides increasing the range?

Thanks for your input.

Have you tried using a range that starts and ends with the same IP address?

I agree with Dennis you should repeat same IP in while using range-

For example-

ip local pool vpn-pool 10.1.2.1-10.1.2.1 netmask xxxx

Thanks

Thank you for the replies. That is how we use to do it. We had a range with the same ip address as the start and end but that gives us the error. So we tried just using the address and that gives us the error too.

The below syntax worked for me on 5505 with ver 8.3

ip local pool test 192.168.10.1 mask 255.255.255.255

Check if this works for you.

Hello Everyone,

I have a proble with IP local pool configuration on ASA 5506-X

My IP local pool is: ip local pool POOL-LAN 1.1.1.1-1.1.1.7 mask 255.255.255.255.

It's work perfectely for three EasyVPN

I have set up three easyVPN between the ASA and cisco 819 4G, this work perfectly but I can't add a a fourth.

When I try to add it (fourth Easy VPN),  The ASA gives it an IP already used on the IP pool by the other 3 and this put down the active VPN.

however by making a show ip local pool, it shows me well the IPs used and the availables IPs.

what I do not understand why it does not take an available IP instead of an IP used on the local Pool by another cisco 819 4G.

is it limited to three? or is it configuration?

Thank for any Help
