Seting up ASA5510 with Cisco Router

[Marcel Belisle]

Hey I was wondering what would be the way for me to setup my network. I have:

1 ASA 5510

1 Cisco 1841

2 Cisco 877 modems

Both modem have an active internet connection. I use one for internet for users and the other for VPN traffic. Now I want to integrate this ASA 5510 in my network to provide some form of security.

If you want both internet connection to be active at the same time then you would need to have the 1841 route between the ASA and the modems as the ASA can only have one active default route at any given time.

If you are going to use one internet connection as primary and the other as a backup then you can connect both to the ASA and create two defalult routes with one default route having a higher metric than the other.

Well if you add the ASA you can configure one interface for internet traffic and dynamic VPN connections and the other interface for LAN to LAN IPSec VPN.
