What is remote access VPN?
Remote Access VPN policy contains the connection profiles targeted for specific devices. These policies pertain to creating the tunnel itself, such as, how AAA is accomplished, and how addresses are assigned (DHCP or Address Pools) to VPN clients. They also include user attributes, which are identified in group policies configured on the Firepower Threat Defense device or obtained from a AAA server. A device also provides a default connection profile named DefaultWEBVPNGroup. The connection profile that is configured using the wizard appears in the list.
What is Firepower Threat Defense?
The Firepower Threat Defense device supports applying user authorization attributes (also called user entitlements or permissions) to VPN connections from the external RADIUS server that are configured for authentication and/or authorization in the remote access VPN policy.
What is AnyConnect profile?
An AnyConnect client profile is a group of configuration parameters stored in an XML file that the client uses to configure its operation and appearance. These parameters (XML tags) include the names and addresses of host computers and settings to enable more client features.
What is Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility?
The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility client provides secure SSL or IPsec (IKEv2) connections to the Firepower Threat Defense device for remote users with full VPN profiling to corporate resources. Without a previously-installed client, remote users can enter the IP address of an interface configured to accept clientless VPN connections in their browser to download and install the AnyConnect client. The Firepower Threat Defense device downloads the client that matches the operating system of the remote computer. After downloading, the client installs and establishes a secure connection. In case of a previously installed client, when the user authenticates, the Firepower Threat Defense device, examines the version of the client, and upgrades the client if necessary.
What is the only VPN client?
The only supported VPN client is the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. No other clients or native VPNs are supported. Clientless VPN is not supported for VPN connectivity; it is only used to deploy the AnyConnect client using a web browser.
Can Firepower Threat Defense resolve IP addresses?
Without DNS, the devices cannot resolve AAA server names, named URLs, and CA Servers with FQDN or Hostnames. It can only resolve IP addresses.
What is the only VPN client?

Can you disable VPN connection profile?
When you want to enforce a single connection profile on a user or user group, you can choose to disable the connection profile so that the group alias or URLs are not available for the users to select when they connect using the AnyConnect VPN client.
Is VPN load balancing disabled?
VPN load balancing is disabled by default. You must explicitly enable VPN load balancing. Only the FTD devices that are co-located can be added to a load-balancing group. A load-balancing group must have a minimum of two FTD devices.

What is a hub and spoke VPN?
In a Hub and Spoke VPN topology, a central endpoint (hub node) connects with multiple remote endpoints (spoke nodes). Each connection between the hub node and an individual spoke endpoint is a separate VPN tunnel. The hosts behind any of the spoke nodes can communicate with each other through the hub node.
How does a VPN work point to point?
In a point-to-point VPN topology, two endpoints communicate directly with each other. You configure the two endpoints as peer devices, and either device can start the secured connection.
What is a full mesh VPN?
In a Full Mesh VPN topology, all endpoints can communicate with every other endpoint by an individual VPN tunnel. This topology offers redundancy so that when one endpoint fails, the remaining endpoints can still communicate with each other. It commonly represents a VPN that connects a group of decentralized branch office locations. The number of VPN-enabled managed devices you deploy in this configuration depends on the level of redundancy you require.
What is a CA in VPN?
When you use Digital Certificates as the authentication method for VPN connections, peers are configured to obtain digital certificates from a Certificate Authority (CA). CAs are trusted authorities that “sign” certificates to verify their authenticity, thereby guaranteeing the identity of the device or user.
Why use PKI in VPN?
Using a PKI improves the manageability and scalability of your VPN since you do not have to configure pre-shared keys between all the encrypting devices. Instead, you individually enroll each participating device with a CA server, which is explicitly trusted to validate identities and create an identity certificate for the device. When this has been accomplished, each participating peer sends their identity certificate to the other peer to validate their identities and establish encrypted sessions with the public keys contained in the certificates. See Certificate Enrollment Objects for details on enrolling FTD devices.
Can FTD devices pass through access control?
On a FTD device, by default no traffic is allowed to pass through access-control without explicit permission. VPN tunnel traffic as well, is not relayed to the endpoints until it has passed through Snort. Incoming tunnel packets are decrypted before being sent to the Snort process. Snort processes outgoing packets before encryption.
