ASA 5510 - IPSEC

[christopherkilian]

Hi all, we would like to create some IPSec's as our backup links to a datacentre using the Cisco ASA5510, the connection will be between a Cisco 2600 and the Cisco ASA5510 across the Internet. Can anyone advise of a way that we can do this in the best way. Having a look at the ASA it does not seem like you have the ability to use a GRE tunnel which is what we would have preferred however other options I am sure exist. Anyone got any adivse or tutorials on setting this up. Not very familiar with the ASA concept at the moment Im afriad.

Cheers

CK

Normal IP Security (IPSec) configurations cannot transfer routing protocols, such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), or non-IP traffic, such as Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and AppleTalk. This document illustrates how to route between different networks that use a routing protocol and non-IP traffic with IPSec. This example uses generic routing encapsulation (GRE) in order to accomplish routing between the different networks.
