My understanding is that you can configure 25 P2P VPN's,
and up to 25 concurrent client VPN connected although you only get 2 out of the box, and have to buy additional licences for the rest.

Never had to spec this out myself, but a quick read of the models table here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_models_home.html

Suggests that you can have a maximum of 10/25 Site-to-Site and IPsec (IKEv1 Client) VPN User Sessions
Then a maximum of 25 AnyConnect or Clientless VPN User Sessions.

This reads to me as 25 of each definition (being 25 of a mix of S2S and IPSEC, then another 25 of a mix of AnyConnect/Clientless), and being that it states sessions, would be current connected sessions and not named users.

Of course it is open to different interpretations but that is how I would read it.

Hey all,

I have a customer wanting to spec out a Cisco ASA5505... the baby version.

Everything is good except the VPN licensing.

On this page:  http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/prod_models_comparison.html

It says that the 5505 is 25 VPN users for a few different types.

What it doesn't say is whether it is:
- 25 users max across all vpn types
- whether it is PER vpn type or 25 across all types
- whether the VPN is concurrent or named users
- whether the number is a MAXIMUM or what it comes with

The last one being the most important.

Essentially I have a customer with a size needing about a dozen VPN users.. concurrently... but the above link is very vague.

This link: http://packetpushers.net/cisco-asa-licensing-explained/ has some good information, but the Cisco link doesn't say anything about 10/25.  It has more information about VPN licensing, it says the 5505 starts with 10, but the Cisco page doesn't seem to say that.  I'd like confirmation before I tell the customer what to buy.

I am assuming some Ausnog people have had to do this sort of thing. Thanks in advance.
