This chapter describes how to configure any ASA as an Easy VPN Server, and the Cisco ASA with FirePOWER- 5506-X, 5506W-X, 5506H-X, and 5508-X models as an Easy VPN Remote hardware client.

Easy VPN Interfaces

Upon system startup, the Easy VPN external and internal interfaces are determined by their security level. The physical interface with the lowest security level is used for the external connection to an Easy VPN server. The physical interface with the highest security level is used for the internal connection to secure resources.

Easy VPN Connections

Easy VPN uses IPsec IKEv1 tunnels. The Easy VPN Remote hardware client's configuration must be compatible with the VPN configuration on the Easy VPN Server headend. If using secondary servers, their configuration must be identical to the primary server.

Easy VPN Tunnel Groups

Upon tunnel establishment, the Easy VPN Remote specifies the tunnel group, configured on the Easy VPN Server, that will be used for the connection. The Easy VPN Server pushes group policy or user attributes to the Easy VPN Remote hardware client determining tunnel behavior.

Easy VPN Mode of Operation

The mode determines whether the hosts behind the Easy VPN Remote are accessible or not from the enterprise network over the tunnel:

Easy VPN User Authentication

The ASA Easy VPN Remote can store the username and password for automatic login.

Remote Management

The ASA operating as an Easy VPN Remote hardware client supports management access using SSH or HTTPS, with or without additional IPsec encryption.

What is Easy VPN Remote?

Upon tunnel establishment, the Easy VPN Remote specifies the tunnel group, configured on the Easy VPN Server, that will be used for the connection. The Easy VPN Server pushes group policy or user attributes to the Easy VPN Remote hardware client determining tunnel behavior. To change certain attributes, you must modify them on the ASAs configured as primary or secondary Easy VPN Servers.

What is the physical interface of Easy VPN?

The physical interface with the highest security level is used for the internal connection to secure resources. If Easy VPN determines that there are two or more interfaces with the same highest security level, Easy VPN is disabled.

What VPN uses IKEv1?

Easy VPN uses IPsec IKEv1 tunnels. The Easy VPN Remote hardware client's configuration must be compatible with the VPN configuration on the Easy VPN Server headend. If using secondary servers, their configuration must be identical to the primary server.

How to configure NEM mode on Easy VPN?

The Easy VPN Server defaults to Client mode. To configure NEM mode use the nem enable command in group policy configuration mode.

On the Easy VPN Remote use the vpnclient mode command to configure PAT or NEM.

What is Secure Unit authentication?

A typical example is when the IP local pool contains 10.10.10.0/255.255.255.0 addresses, since this is a Class A network by default. This could cause routing issues when the VPN client needs to access different subnets within the 10 network over different interfaces.
