No VPN wizard functionality

christophermann — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 00:02:37 GMT

i am currently looking at the suitability of replacing an 'airbreak' firewall with 2 new ASA 5505'S.

One stipulation i have is that i require to connect the third party that is currently using the 'airbreak' solution using a secure iPsec VPN.

I have both 5505's that were supplied by the third party, but i believe i may need a new fireware upgrade

I am using ASDM 6.4.XX and the ASA's have firmware 8.4(2) and a basic licence.

Am i correct in assuming that the VPN wizard functionality is missing because of th firmware installed currently on both of the ASA's? or am i looking in the wrong place?

i have done a fair amount of research an can see earlier versions of ASDM wit the VPN wizzard so can only assume it is down to the firmware.

i see that the latest version for the ASA 5505's is 8.4.4 and was wondering if this will provide me with the functionality i require as it does mention in the documentation that it does support the clientless VPN options.

Can anybody also confirm what part number

ASA5505-BUN-K9 relates too in relation to firmware for the ASA's?

As you can see i am new to the Firewall side of things and want to get this one right

Kind regards

Chris Mann

If you have an ASA5505-BUN-K9 with version 8.4(2), then there should be the VPN-wizard available. What is there in the "Wizards"-menu of your ASDM?

Karsten,

thanks for taking the time to reply, i do appreciate it.

not sure if i have the BUN-K9 or not, but on the bottom of both of the ASA's it reads ASA5505-V8?

The reason i ask about the BUN-K9 is that i do know about the security side of things as to regards to the K9 Tag for the firmware releases and thought this might be what i need but am unsure what the BUN-K9 relates too.

thanks again

Chris

the "k9" relates to the encryption that you really want to have for VPN ... 😉

Plese paste a "show version" from the command-line.

if the following line is not there:

VPN-3DES-AES : Enabled perpetual

then go to http://www.cisco.com/go/license and enter your serial-number to get a free 3DES/AES-license:

On that page you find it under "Get new" -> "IPS, Crypto ..." -> Security-Products -> Cisco ASA 3DES/AES License.

EDIT: And it's not the Tools-Menu, right to the Tools is the "Wizards"-menu

Karsten,

Thanks for the information. you are right it is in the Wizards menu, im currently at home and was trying to remember the exact location

as for the

VPN-3DES-AES : Enabled perpetual

I can remember looking at the licence details on the ASA and dont remember seeing that line so thats a good place to start.

Ill give that a go tomorrow when im back in work, thanks very much for your help

Chris
