What's new in remote access VPN in multiple context mode?
Remote access VPN in multiple context mode now supports flash virtualization. Each context can have a private storage space and a shared storage place based on the total flash that is available. AnyConnect client profiles are supported in multi-context devices.
Can a single Asa appear as multiple ASAS to multiple users?
This allows a single ASA to appear as multiple ASAs to multiple independent users. The ASA family has supported virtual firewalls since its initial release; however, there was no virtualization support for Remote Access in the ASA. VPN LAN2LAN (L2L) support for multi-context was added for the 9.0 release.
Can I use site-to-site VPN in multiple context mode?
You can use site-to-site VPN in multiple context mode. For remote access VPN, you must use AnyConnect 3.x and later for SSL VPN only; there is no IKEv2 support.
Can I use the AnyConnect apex license for multiple context mode?
The AnyConnect Apex license is required for multiple context mode; you cannot use the default or legacy license. AnyConnect SSL support is extended, allowing pre-fill/username-from-certificate feature CLIs, previously available only in single mode, to be enabled in multiple context mode as well.
Does Cisco ASA support VPN is multi-context mode if yes then which release onwards is the feature supported?
As of 9.2(1) there is still not support for remote access VPN in multi-context mode. (ASA 9.0(1) introduced support for IPsec site-to-site VPN in multi-context mode.) Please refer to the ASA release notes page for details on new features by release.
What is Cisco ASA multiple context mode?
Cisco ASA supports multiple firewall contexts, also called firewall multimode or multi-context mode. Multi-context mode divides a single ASA into multiple virtual devices, also known as security contexts. Each context operates a single device, independently from other security contexts.

Does Cisco ASA supports route based VPN?
Policy-Based IPSEC VPN This VPN category is supported on both Cisco ASA Firewalls and Cisco IOS Routers. With this VPN type the device encrypts and encapsulates a subset of traffic flowing through an interface according to a defined policy (using an Access Control List).

How does remote access VPN Work?
A remote access VPN works by creating a virtual tunnel between an employee's device and the company's network. This tunnel goes through the public internet but the data sent back and forth through it is protected by encryption and security protocols to help keep it private and secure.

How do you failover in ASA context?
note the default ASA security context is 2, so you have 1x 'admin' context by default and 2 customer contexts. upgrade secondary FW to the same ASA and ASDM image. enable 'multiple mode' unshut the 'failover' interface. configure the failover config.
How do I change the context in Asa?
Use the changeto command to change to a context, and back to system. Optionally, a different context can be assigned as the admin context. Do this with the admin-context command. This will not create a new context.
What is active active failover ASA?
Active/Active Failover is defined by having two pieces of equipment in active status for one portion of the network and in standby for the other portion.
What is ASA configuration?
For each context, the ASA includes a configuration that identifies the security policy, interfaces, and all the options you can configure on a standalone device. You can store context configurations in flash memory, or you can download them from a TFTP, FTP, or HTTP (S) server.
How does ASA manage resources?
The ASA manages resources by assigning contexts to resource classes. Each context uses the resource limits set by the class. To use the settings of a class, assign the context to the class when you define the context. All contexts belong to the default class if they are not assigned to another class; you do not have to actively assign a context to default. You can only assign a context to one resource class. The exception to this rule is that limits that are undefined in the member class are inherited from the default class; so in effect, a context could be a member of default plus another class.
How many sessions are allowed in VPN AnyConnect?
For example, if your model supports 5000 peers, and you assign 4000 peers across all contexts with vpn anyconnect, then the remaining 1000 sessions are available for vpn burst anyconnect. Unlike vpn anyconnect, which guarantees the sessions to the context, vpn burst anyconnect can be oversubscribed; the burst pool is available to all contexts on a first-come, first-served basis.
How to oversubscribe ASA?
You can oversubscribe the ASA by assigning more than 100 percent of a resource across all contexts (with the exception of non- burst VPN resources). For example, you can set the Bronze class to limit connections to 20 percent per context, and then assign 10 contexts to the class for a total of 200 percent.
What is admin context?
The admin context is just like any other context, except that when a user logs in to the admin context, then that user has system administrator rights and can access the system and all other contexts. The admin context is not restricted in any way, and can be used as a regular context.
Why does the classifier assign the packet to context B?
The classifier assigns the packet to Context B because Context B includes the MAC address to which the router sends the packet.
Why use MAC address instead of NAT?
We recommend using MAC addresses instead of NAT, so that traffic classification can occur regardless of the completeness of the NAT configuration.
How many interfaces does an ASA have?
An ASA has at least two interfaces, referred to here as outside and inside. Typically, the outside interface is connected to the public Internet, while the inside interface is connected to a private network and is protected from public access.
Which crypto protocol allows the IPsec client and the ASA to establish a shared secret key?
Specify the Diffie-Hellman group for the IKE policy—the crypto protocol that allows the IPsec client and the ASA to establish a shared secret key.
What is the default LAN to LAN tunnel group?
There are two default tunnel groups in the ASA system: DefaultRAGroup, which is the default remote-access tunnel group, and DefaultL2Lgroup, which is the default LAN-to-LAN tunnel group. You can change these groups, but do not delete them. The ASA uses these groups to configure default tunnel parameters for remote access and LAN-to-LAN tunnel groups when there is no specific tunnel group identified during tunnel negotiation.
What files can Cisco AnyConnect have?
Virtual File System creation for each context can have Cisco Anyconnect files like Image and profile.
What happens if a Cisco VPN client has a different preshared key size?

Einführung
In diesem Dokument wird beschrieben, wie Remote Access (RA) Virtual Private Network (VPN) auf der Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA)-Firewall im MC-Modus mithilfe der CLI konfiguriert wird.
Hintergrundinformationen
Multi-Context ist eine Form der Virtualisierung, bei der mehrere unabhängige Kopien einer Anwendung gleichzeitig auf derselben Hardware ausgeführt werden können, wobei jede Kopie (bzw. jedes virtuelle Gerät) für den Benutzer als separates physisches Gerät erscheint.

Anhang A: Konfiguration von AnyConnect-Images für Versionen vor 9.6.2
Das AnyConnect-Image wird im Admin-Kontext für ASA-Versionen vor 9.6.2 global konfiguriert (beachten Sie, dass die Funktion ab 9.5.2 verfügbar ist), da der Flash-Speicher nicht virtualisiert ist und nur vom Systemkontext aus zugänglich ist.
Prerequisites
- Requirements
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics: 1. ASA AnyConnect SSL Configuration 2. ASA Multiple Context Configuration
Background Information
- Multi-context is a form of virtualization that allows multiple independent copies of an application to run simultaneously on the same hardware, with each copy (or virtual device) appearing as a separate physical device to the user. This allows a single ASA to appear as multiple ASAs to multiple independent users. The ASA family has supported virtual firewalls since its initial releas…
Licensing
- AnyConnect Apex license required
- Essentials licenses ignored/not allowed
- Configurability to control maximum license usage per context
