Licensing question

[Delmiro Campelo]

Hello support community,

I'm hoping that you can shed some light into this. I'm trying to figure out how many IPsec L2L sessions I could have with the license available to me? is it 50? I spekaing of "Anyconnect Premium Peers",  does this mean that it can be 50 SSL/IPsec clients including IPsec site to site clients?

Thanks,

Delmiro

Hi,

The IPsec L2L VPN connections fall into the license limit titled:

Other VPN Peers: 750

Naturally I am sure that you would reach the device performance limit or your WAN connections bandwith before you reached that limit. Atleast I would imagine

Hope this helps

Judging by the the listing of the "show version" command it would seem that you could have FOR EXAMPLE

• 50 SSL VPN connections
• 700 IPsec VPN connections

Active at a given time, or perhaps 25 SSL VPN connections and 725 IPsec VPN connection.

As the device says that Total VPN Peers = 750

And to further add,

If you have ASA software 8.4(1) atleast you can use this command also

show vpn-sessiondb license-summary

Which also gives some nice information related to VPN Limits and Licensing etc
