3DES VPN between 5525-x and 5505 8.2(5)

[moogeboo1]

Hi,

We are purchasing a Cisco 5525-x to take advantage of a shared site's 300MB line, but have two other sites that use an existing 5505 with 8.2x IOS version.  Is there a way to find out if we can properly connect the 5525-x to our existing 5505 8.2x IOS and establish a 3DES VPN connection between them properly?  Or is there anything special that needs to be taken into consideration?

Thanks,

Hi,

As long as you have 3DES license enabled on the ASAs , you should be able to connect VPN using 3DES algorithm.

Do a "show version" and it shall show whether 3DES/AES is enabled or not.

P.S.3DES/AES  is a free license that you can get from the following:
