PIX 515 / VPN Connections

TheJax2009
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have a Cisco Pix 515r with a VPN set up.

I have 4 remote users from the same location trying to connect to my VPN.  It appears that only one can connect at a time.  I believe this is an issue on their side not mine.  But since I'm "somewhat" familair with the PIX, I was hoping to get confirmation.

Does the PIX limit how many concurrent VPN connections come in from the same location?  If so, is it a setting I can change?

Thank you in advance.

It seems that your PIX is not causing the issue. If those clients are behind another PIX/ASA they should look at their configuration and logs to make sure they don't have some kind of limitation.

Your PIX is the VPN Server for the remote users? On the show version you should see if there are limitations on the amount of Remote VPN connections.

How many concurrent VPN sessions you have terminating on your PIX when the remote users report the problem?

Yes.  The PIX is the VPN server.  I have set up the Cisco VPN client on each of their laptops with the same vpn group name and password.  Wgen they try to connect to me, there might be one or two other VPN sessions connected (at the most).  I'm only seeing an issue from this group of users who happen to be at the same location (all on same network going through the same firewall to get to me).

I did a "show ver" and have the following:

Licensed Features:
Failover:           Disabled
VPN-DES:            Enabled
VPN-3DES-AES:       Disabled
Maximum Interfaces: 3
Cut-through Proxy:  Enabled
Guards:             Enabled
URL-filtering:      Enabled
Inside Hosts:       Unlimited
Throughput:         Unlimited
IKE peers:          Unlimited

This PIX has a Restricted (R) license

Thank you for responding.

Thank you.

They are not behind a PIX...I know that for sure.

Thanks again
